UK Accuses Argentina of Political Opportunism in Malvinas Oil Dispute at ITLOS

This marks a legal escalation in the long-standing sovereignty dispute, with the UK framing Argentina's stance as inconsistent. The tribunal's proceedings could set a precedent for maritime jurisdiction disputes, though a ruling is likely years away.
