英国承诺捍卫其在海狮项目中的利益，该项目旨在开发福克兰群岛附近的一个油田。阿根廷就离岸石油勘探向一个仲裁法庭提出法律挑战，理由是环境问题。
The United Kingdom has pledged to defend its interests in the Sea Lion project to develop an oilfield near the Falkland Islands, as Argentina has brought a legal challenge before a tribunal over the offshore oil exploration, citing environmental concerns.
英国总检察长埃莉·里夫斯代表英国政府出席海洋法国际法庭（ITLOS）的听证会，她说，如果阿根廷成功阻止该项目，将损失对福克兰群岛未来至关重要的数十亿英镑。
Attorney General Ellie Reeves, representing the UK government at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), said billions of pounds crucial to the future of the Falkland Islands will be lost if Argentina is successful in getting the project blocked.
位于汉堡的该法庭将开庭两天，阿根廷寻求一项暂停石油钻探的临时裁决。
The Hamburg-based tribunal is sitting for two days as Argentina seeks a provisional ruling to suspend oil drilling.
里夫斯还表示，阿根廷对该开发项目的反对根源在于其领土主张。“听证会不是关于福克兰群岛的主权问题，”英国首相的官方发言人周一表示，重申其国家的立场，即该岛屿的主权不容谈判。
Reeves also said Argentina’s objection to the development was rooted in its territorial claims. “The hearing is not about the sovereignty of the Falklands,” the UK prime minister’s official spokesman said on Monday, echoing his country’s position that the island’s sovereignty is not up for negotiation.
这场争端是英国与阿根廷在南大西洋海外领土问题上紧张关系升级的最新事件。以下是我们了解的情况：这件事是关于什么？
The dispute is the latest in rising tensions between the UK and Argentina over the British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. Here’s what we know: What is it about?
海狮开发项目是一项英以合资企业，旨在福克兰群岛管辖的水域钻探石油。
The Sea Lion development is a UK-Israeli venture to drill for oil in waters administered by the Falklands.
英国的Rockhopper Exploration和以色列的Navitas Petroleum是海狮油田的运营商，该油田距离群岛约220公里（137英里）。预计该项目将于2027年3月开始，石油生产将于2028年开始。
The UK’s Rockhopper Exploration and Israel’s Navitas Petroleum, operator of the Sea Lion oilfield, located about 220km (137 miles) from the islands, are expected to start the project in March 2027, with oil production to begin in 2028.
根据Rockhopper Exploration的说法，海狮勘探区预计蕴藏17亿桶原油，其中5亿桶为可采资源。
According to Rockhopper Exploration, the Sea Lion exploration field holds an estimated 1.7 billion barrels of oil in place, of which 500 million barrels are recoverable resources.
然而，阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱在9月份宣布阻止该开发项目的措施，并在X平台上发帖称，他已指示外交部和该国法律团队对英国启动仲裁程序。
However, Argentina’s President Javier Milei announced measures to block the development in September and said in a post on X that he had instructed the Foreign Ministry and the country’s legal teams to initiate arbitration proceedings against the UK.
“如果两周内英国不停止非法开采，我们将诉诸海洋法国际法庭。马尔维纳斯群岛属于阿根廷，我们用事实而非言辞捍卫它们，”他写道，使用了阿根廷对福克兰群岛的称呼。
“If in 2 weeks the United Kingdom does not halt the illegitimate exploitation, we will go to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. THE MALVINAS ARE ARGENTINA’s, and they are defended with facts, not words,” he wrote, using the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands.
阿根廷于10月13日正式向该法庭提交投诉，寻求对英国采取临时措施。
Argentina formally filed a complaint at the Tribunal seeking provisional measures against the UK on October 13.
英国自1833年起管理福克兰群岛。然而，由于该领地位于阿根廷海岸附近，布宜诺斯艾利斯声称对其主权，称其为拉斯马尔维纳斯。
The UK has administered the Falkland Islands since 1833. However, as the territory lies off Argentina’s shores, Buenos Aires claims sovereignty over what it calls Las Malvinas.
米莱还威胁要对参与石油勘探项目的公司实施更严厉的制裁，阻止它们在阿根廷的石油和矿业领域运营。
Milei has also threatened tougher sanctions on companies involved in the oil exploration project, preventing them from operating in Argentina’s oil and mining sectors.
米莱政府认为，该项目违反了一项联合国决议，该决议呼吁双方在领土主权争端解决之前，避免在群岛采取单方面行动。
Milei’s government argues the project violates a United Nations resolution calling on both sides to refrain from unilateral actions in the islands until their dispute over the territory’s sovereignty is resolved.
2026年11月10日，福克兰群岛斯坦利，福克兰群岛标志牌全景。法庭上说了什么？
A general view of a Falkland Island sign on November 10, 2026 in Port Stanley, Falkland Islands What was said at the Tribunal?
周二，里夫斯告诉海洋法国际法庭，该法庭对海洋争端作出具有法律约束力的裁决，阿根廷想“将这些资源据为己有”。
On Tuesday, Reeves told the Law of the Sea Tribunal, which issues legally binding rulings on maritime disputes, that Argentina wanted to “take control of those resources for itself”.
“阿根廷寻求的临时措施将阻止福克兰群岛居民开发其自然资源，而他们有权根据其自决的基本权利这样做，”她表示，据《卫报》报道。
“The provisional measures sought by Argentina would prevent the people of the Falkland Islands from developing their natural resources as they are entitled to do so, pursuant to their fundamental right to self-determination,” she said, according to The Guardian.
“所寻求的措施将对福克兰群岛人民造成毁灭性后果。他们可能会损失数十亿英镑，这对群岛的经济发展至关重要。”但阿根廷的律师马里奥·奥亚萨巴尔认为，有必要采取行动阻止该项目。
“The measures sought would have devastating consequences for the Falklands people. They risk losing billions of pounds in money, which is essential for the islands’ economic development.”But Argentina’s lawyer, Mario Oyarzabal, argued that action was needed to block the project.
“[阿根廷]尊重岛屿居民的利益及其生活方式，这已载入阿根廷宪法……这些英国公民没有权利决定岛屿归属哪个国家，”他在听证会上说，《卫报》报道。
“[Argentina] respects the interests of the inhabitants of the islands and their way of life as enshrined in the Argentine constitution…What these British citizens do not have is a right to decide to which state the islands belong,” he said during the hearing, The Guardian reported.
“这些资源属于阿根廷人民。约有4600万人，其中包括1247名在岛上出生的居民，他们的利益将得到应有的考虑，”他补充道。
“These resources belong to the Argentine people. Some 46 million of them, including the 1,247 inhabitants born on the islands, whose interests will be duly taken into account,” he added.
2013年，福克兰群岛居民以压倒性多数投票决定继续留在英国，尽管阿根廷有主权要求。英国政府怎么说了？
In 2013, Falkland islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain with the United Kingdom, despite Argentina’s claims. What has the UK government said?
周一，英国首相安迪·伯纳姆的官方发言人向《独立报》表示，英国“完全参与《联合国海洋法公约》程序，并将就阿根廷向法庭申请临时措施一事明确阐述我们的立场”。
On Monday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s official spokesperson told the Independent news outlet that the UK was “fully engaged in the UNCLOS [UN Convention on the Law of the Sea] process, and we’ll clearly set out our position on Argentina’s request for provisional measures before the Tribunal”.
“我们将继续坚决捍卫我们自身以及福克兰群岛居民的利益，”发言人补充道。
“We’ll continue to robustly defend our interests and those of the Falkland Islanders,” the spokesperson added.
上个月，伯纳姆还在与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通电话时讨论了阻止该石油项目的企图。“首相提到了阿根廷强制措施对英国和美国造成的经济后果，并重申尊重岛民开发其自然资源权利的重要性，”伯纳姆办公室表示。最新进展如何？英国与阿根廷之间紧张的关系依然紧张，且高度聚焦福克兰群岛。
Last month, Burnham also discussed the bid to block the oil project during a call with United States President Donald Trump“The prime minister raised the economic consequences of Argentina’s coercive measures for the UK and US and reiterated the importance of respecting the islanders’ right to develop their natural resources,” Burnham’s office said. What are the latest developments? The fraught relationship between the UK and Argentina remains tense and heavily focused on the Falkland Islands.
米莱利用特朗普拒绝表明华盛顿是否会在未来关于福克兰群岛的冲突中支持英国，此前特朗普批评伦敦在其对伊朗的袭击期间未对美国提供更多支持。
Milei has capitalised on Trump’s refusal to say whether Washington would support the UK in a future conflict over the Falklands after the US president criticised London for not doing more to support the US during its attacks on Iran.
去年9月，米莱表示，在阿根廷的主权要求问题上，“变革之风”正朝着有利于阿根廷的方向吹拂。
In September, Milei said the “winds of change” were blowing in Argentina’s favour when it comes to its claims of sovereignty.
“美国之所以考虑改变立场，是因为它知道阿根廷拥有一个与西方价值观一致、位于战略要地的可靠伙伴，在未来几十年里可以成为宝贵的盟友，”米莱说。
“The United States is considering this change in position because it knows that Argentina has a reliable partner, aligned with Western values, in a strategically important position that can be a valuable ally in the decades to come,” Milei said.
与此同时，阿根廷明年将举行选举，海狮项目的暂停可能有助于米莱的民调支持率。
At the same time, Argentina is set for an election next year, where the Sea Lion project’s halt could help Milei’s polling position.
