The primary objective of the Falkland Islands Association is to support and promote the right of the people of the Falkland Islands to decide their own future for themselves in accordance with their own wishes.

The Association publishes a widely acclaimed Newsletter which is free to members and which is sent to a wide range of people who are able to influence government policy and public opinion - Members of Parliament and of the House of Lords, and journalists.

The Association monitors political and press activity which may in any way undermine the Falkland Islanders' interests, taking appropriate action when such threats are identified - seeking meetings with ministers or officials when necessary and rebutting hostile, inaccurate or misleading press reports.

The Association works closely with the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) Representative who arranges meetings with the Executive Committee and visiting Islands Councillors and others in the FIG Office in London. The Representative also attends the regular meetings of the Association's Executive Committee.

In December, on the nearest Saturday to Battle Day (8 December), the Association lays wreaths at the Cenotaph to commemorate those who lost their lives in and around the Falkland Islands from the naval Battle of the Falklands in 1914 to the Battle for the Falklands in 1982. The ceremony is followed by the Annual General Meeting and a buffet lunch.

In June, on the nearest available day to Liberation Day (14 June), Association members are invited by the Falkland Islands Government Representative to a reception in the Great Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to celebrate the end of Argentine occupation of the Islands in 1982.

For the future, the Association will continue to support the Falkland Islanders in their political aspirations, the protection of their environment and the development of their natural resources both on land and in and beneath the waters surrounding the Falkland Islands. Like the British Armed Forces reservists, the Association stands ready to move into action should any crisis similar to 1968 or 1982 occur again.
