STATEMENT FROM THE FALKLAND ISLANDS GOVERNMENT: FRIDAY 24 APRIL 2026

“Self-determination is a fundamental human right enshrined in article one, paragraph two of the Charter of the United Nations.

In 2013, the Falkland Islands held an internationally observed sovereignty referendum, in which 99.8 per cent of voters, on a turnout of 92 per cent, voted in favour of remaining an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.

The Falkland Islands has complete confidence in the commitment made by the UK Government to uphold and defend our right of self-determination.”
