Malvinas, unidad nacional o autodeterminación

Resumen del corpus

The dispute over the Malvinas Islands centers on a conflict between the principles of national territorial integrity, asserted by Argentina, and self-determination, claimed by the United Kingdom regarding the current inhabitants. The article analyzes these opposing concepts, noting that international jurisprudence suggests these principles are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Argentina argues for the restoration of the territory it possessed since 1816, while the UK invokes the right of the current settlers to decide their future, suggesting that the right to external self-determination is a component of territorial sovereignty.
