Argentina urged an international tribunal in Hamburg to order a pause in the Sea Lion oil project near the Falkland Islands, arguing that Britain’s approval violates a UN resolution and worsens the sovereignty dispute. The UK and Argentina have long disputed the islands’ status; the tribunal opened a two-day hearing on Argentina’s request for urgent provisional measures.
