Dispute over Antarctic sovereignty in pandemic times: the action-retaliation legislative manoeuvres between Argentina and Chile
Abstract
This pandemic poses the need for cooperative action across states and reveals Antarctica as a safe, virus-free space. At the same time, it conceals the tensions between Argentina and Chile following the normative bid around Argentine laws 27,557 and 27,558, which declare the extension of sovereignty over the continental shelf, and the Chilean Antarctic Statute. The present legislative package threatens the future of Argentine-Chilean ties and forthcoming actions over Antarctica. However, it is necessary to rebuild the relationship between these two peoples, as they possess a regional strategic sense that allows a joint reading of the Antarctic Treaty and the Law of the Sea, so that it will not be left to biased interpretations by each country
