英国敦促国际刑警组织驳回阿根廷就福克兰群岛油田所发通缉令UK Urges Interpol to Reject Argentina's Falklands Oil Arrest Notices

在阿根廷试图将涉足南大西洋“海狮”油田的人员定罪后，英国政府已向设在法国里昂的国际刑警组织总部发出正式信函。英方知情人士透露，英国官员认定阿根廷申请针对英国公民等涉案人员的红色通缉令，意在恐吓参与群岛开发的企业和人员，因而请求该国际警务机构在处理布宜诺斯艾利斯方面的拘捕请求时保持审慎并予以驳回。

British officials sent formal correspondence to Interpol's headquarters in Lyon after Argentina sought to criminalise personnel linked to the Sea Lion oil project in the south Atlantic. UK sources indicated that the government viewed Argentina's requests for red notices against oil workers, including British nationals, as an attempt to bully individuals and corporations out of operating around the islands, prompting Britain to urge the international policing body to exercise caution and reject Buenos Aires's detention requests.

福克兰群岛政府行政长官安德里亚·克劳森确认阿根廷借由国际刑警组织施压构成了威胁，并指出相关利益方已研究国际刑警组织宪章条款。国际刑警组织在回复英国政府的信函中确认将遵循宪章第三条，该条款明文禁止该组织从事任何具有政治性质的干预或活动。尽管国际刑警组织负责审查红色通缉令且去年共签发近两万份，但各成员国仍可自行裁量是否执行，岛内各界依然担忧阿根廷可能游说部分成员国将拘捕请求定性为国内法规而非政治争议。

Andrea Clausen, the chief executive of the Falklands government, confirmed that Argentina's use of Interpol posed a threat and noted that interested parties had examined relevant constitutional clauses of the policing body. Interpol's response to the UK stated that it would respect Article 3 of its constitution, which strictly forbids the organisation from undertaking interventions or activities of a political character. Interpol screens red notice requests—of which nearly 20,000 were issued last year—leaving individual member countries to decide whether to act on circulations, though concern lingers that Argentina might attempt to persuade member states that its filings stem from domestic legislation rather than political motives.

在针对英国设定的两周最后期限届满后，阿根廷预计在24小时内依据《联合国海洋法公约》附件七正式提请国际仲裁。阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱曾于9月28日要求英国停止“海狮”近海石油项目，该项通牒已于周一到期，阿根廷媒体报道随后确认了提请仲裁的法律申请程序。

Argentina is expected to escalate its dispute with the United Kingdom within 24 hours by requesting arbitration under Annex VII of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea regarding the offshore oil project. Argentine President Javier Milei had previously delivered a two-week deadline on 28 September demanding that the UK stop the project or face legal proceedings. With that timeline expiring on Monday, domestic newspapers reported that an application for arbitration would follow.

布宜诺斯艾利斯方面计划在仲裁案中主张，英国推进钻探活动违反了联合国呼吁双方就主权争议开展谈判并避免单方面改变现状的相关决议，并将寻求具有法律约束力的裁决以迫使英国停止作业。英国政府知情人士对此表示，英方相信《联合国海洋法公约》仲裁机制不会介入主权争议。

Under the filing, Buenos Aires will claim that the UK is in breach of a UN resolution inviting both parties to negotiate over the sovereignty dispute and refrain from unilateral modifications to the situation. Argentine authorities are seeking a legally binding order compelling the UK to stop the offshore drilling. However, British government sources expressed confidence that the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea tribunal will not wade into an underlying sovereignty dispute.

阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱已对涉足“海狮”近海石油项目的核心实体启动刑事诉讼程序，直接起诉以色列Navitas公司及其英国合作伙伴Rockhopper Exploration。阿根廷官方此举意在将参与该油田开发的人员定罪，以阻断外部投资者向争议海域注入资金。

Argentine President Javier Milei has initiated formal criminal proceedings against the central commercial operators of the offshore Sea Lion project, targeting Israel-based Navitas and its British partner Rockhopper Exploration. The legal filings form part of a broader strategy by Buenos Aires to criminalise individuals and entities involved in the south Atlantic offshore field, aiming to deter other prospective international investors from participating in the development.

除了司法诉讼，阿根廷国会已引入一项国家主权法案草案，旨在扩大制裁的覆盖面。该法案拟将制裁范围延伸至涉案石油公司的下属分支机构、金融中介、股东以及设备和技术供应商。此外，该立法提案还包含专门条款，可能针对在福克兰群岛渔业领域就业的从业人员。群岛渔业是当地经济的重要支柱，该项法案的提出直接扩大了布宜诺斯艾利斯针对岛内关键产业供应链的制裁范围。

Alongside direct criminal litigation against the operators, a draft national sovereignty bill introduced in Argentina's Congress proposes to broaden legal and economic sanctions across the energy venture's support network. The proposed legislation seeks to extend punitive measures beyond the primary developers to corporate affiliates, financial intermediaries, shareholders, and commercial suppliers. The bill also incorporates provisions capable of targeting individuals active in the Falklands fishing sector, which forms a cornerstone of the islands' economy, thereby expanding the potential impact of Argentinian sanctions to maritime supply chains operating around the territory.

位于福克兰群岛以北盆地的“海狮”近海石油项目具备将当地国内生产总值提升至原有水平三倍的潜力。然而，布宜诺斯艾利斯方面持续坚持对构成该群岛的700个岛屿拥有主权，并拒绝接受2013年福克兰群岛的公投结果；在那场投票中，当地3600名居民中有99.8%支持继续保留英国海外领土地位，仅有3票反对。英国官员评价称，当前的阿根廷威胁强度达到了44年前1982年阿根廷前独裁者莱奥波尔多·加尔铁里将军下令开战以来未曾见过的程度，当年的74天冲突最终以阿根廷军队投降告终，共造成649名阿方军事人员、255名英方军事人员和3名群岛居民丧生。

The Sea Lion offshore project situated in the north Falklands basin carries the potential to triple the Falklands' GDP, creating a substantial economic stake at the centre of the dispute. Argentina continues to claim sovereignty over the 700 islands that make up the archipelago and has dismissed the 2013 referendum in which 99.8% of the territory's 3,600 residents voted to remain a British overseas territory, with only three opposing votes recorded. UK officials state that the intensity of Argentinian threats has reached levels not witnessed since the 1982 war 44 years ago, following the invasion ordered by dictator General Leopoldo Galtieri. That 74-day conflict concluded with the surrender of Argentinian troops, claiming the lives of 649 Argentinian military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and three Falkland islanders.

该群岛距离阿根廷南部巴塔哥尼亚海岸约300英里（500公里），阿根廷国内将其统称为马尔维纳斯群岛。由于南美洲多国支持布宜诺斯艾利斯方面对该群岛的主权主张，福克兰群岛石油与渔业领域的从业人员已普遍担忧，自己在跨国出行、特别是前往南美洲地区时可能会成为阿方执法与拘禁措施针对的目标。

Located roughly 300 miles (500 kilometres) east of Argentina's southern Patagonian coastline, the territory is known in Argentina as Las Malvinas. With widespread support across South America for Buenos Aires's sovereignty claims, workers employed in the Falklands' oil and fishing industries are concerned that they could be targeted by Argentinian enforcement measures when travelling abroad, particularly within the South American region.
