Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Brazil (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-02): Brazil and Uruguay: neighboring country expressed interest in recovering territories that it considers its own due to historical rights; Locations include the Gaucho town of Tomás Albornoz and a small river island at the mouth of the Quaraí River Uruguay claims ownership of Brazilian territories, including the town of Tomás Albornoz and Ilha Brasileira, based on divergent interpretations of historical treaties with Brazil. The dispute, confined until now to diplomatic debates, highlights border and sovereignty issues between the two countries. [...] Located within the limits of the municipality of Santana do Livramento, the village of Tomás Albornoz has just 100 inhabitants. The region, despite being peaceful and culturally integrated, is marked on Google Maps by dotted lines, indicating a contested status between Brazil and Uruguay. Despite being small and isolated, the presence of the Brazilian state is symbolized only by a public school, while other essential services are provided by Uruguay.

Evidence (2021-05-21): Even if Thomaz Albornoz village is not valuable to Brazil and because Uruguay cannot ignore the non-compliance with international norms, it is unlikely that either side will deliberately decide to yield ground. Nonetheless, especially after looking at other existing territorial contestations, one could say that the Brazil-Uruguay disagreement does not constitute a de facto territorial dispute. The normative justification introduced by Fosberg could only have been applied had the dispute been more violent in nature. [vi] [...] [ii] Pinheiro, Ícaro Donatoni.

Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Brazil (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-16): Recentemente, o interesse uruguaio em reavaliar o tratado ressurge, especialmente em relação a dois territórios: o povoado de Thomaz Albornoz e a Ilha Brasileira. Localizado na região de Santana do Livramento, Thomaz Albornoz é um pequeno povoado de apenas 100 habitantes, cuja soberania é contestada. [...] A posição brasileira é clara: os territórios em disputa fazem parte do Brasil, conforme o acordo histórico entre as duas nações, e não há intenção de revisitar o tema em discussões bilaterais futuras.

Evidence (2024-10-01): O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender a que território a Vila Albornoz, situada na fronteira entre Brasil e Uruguai, realmente pertence. Utiliza-se o método qualitativo com base no referencial teórico. Conhecida por ser uma fronteira de caráter sui generis, com presença forte de fraternidade e marcantes relações diplomáticas emergidas pela cooperação, a fronteira de Sant’Ana do Livramento (BR) e Rivera (UY) se destaca pela sua relação entre si, sendo chamada popularmente de Fronteira da Paz. Porém, essa paz encontra barreiras com a delimitação das linhas divisórias que norteiam a Vila Albornoz. Observa-se com este artigo que a Vila Albornoz surgiu através da população santanense e o impasse territorial tem como origem histórica de uma relação de desconfiança territorial, de grandes disputas, que atualmente é harmônica. [...] The present study aims to understand to which territory Vila Albornoz, located on the border between Brazil and Uruguay, really belongs. The qualitative method is used based on the theoretical framework. Known for being a sui generis border, with a strong presence of fraternity and remarkable diplomatic relations emerged through cooperation, the border between Sant'Ana do Livramento (BR) and Rivera (UY) stands out for its relationship with each other, being popularly called Frontier of Peace. However, this peace encounters barriers with the delimitation of the dividing lines that guide Vila Albornoz. It is observed with this article that Vila Albornoz emerged through the Santana population and the territorial impasse has the historical origin of a relationship of territorial distrust, of great disputes, which is currently harmonious
Claim: Vila Albornoz is a territory of Brazil (Vila Albornoz, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2018-12-04): The frontier region between Santana do Livramento and Rivera, more specifically Vila Thomaz Albornoz and Massoller constitute a frontier sui generis given their characteristics of conurbation, distance from their great centers and character of disputed territory, although pacific. Adding to this facts the apparent negligence of their centers, the strong presence of the brazilian televison media turned the largest cultural propagation in that area, transforming the national character of these populations. Considering this, came to be a place where is needed the theorical studies of cultural identity, globalized culture, nation and nationalism and the soft power theory, in the impact of the brazilian television media on the resignation of the national identity of these populations by the distance and the actual social-cultural permeability. The methods used for this study are bibliographical research, participant observer, semi-structured screen interviews.

Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-07): The Falkland Islands (/ˈfɔː(l)klənd, ˈfɒlk-/ FAW(L)K-lənd, FOLK-;[6] Spanish: Islas Malvinas [ˈislas malˈβinas]) is an archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf. The principal islands are about 300 mi (480 km) east of South America's southern Patagonian coast and about 752 mi (1,210 km) from Cape Dubouzet at the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, at a latitude of about 52°S. The archipelago, with an area of 4,700 sq mi (12,000 km2), comprises East Falkland, West Falkland, and 776 smaller islands. As a British overseas territory, the Falklands have internal self-governance, but the United Kingdom takes responsibility for their defence and foreign affairs. The capital and largest settlement is Stanley on East Falkland. [...] The UK and Argentina both assert sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. The UK bases its position on its continuous administration of the islands since 1833 and the islanders' "right to self-determination as set out in the UN Charter".[89][90][91] Argentina claims that, when it achieved independence in 1816, it acquired the Falklands from Spain.[92][93][94] The incident of 1833 is particularly contentious; Argentina considers it proof of "Britain's usurpation" whereas the UK discounts it as a mere reassertion of its claim.[95][L]

Evidence (2023-03-05): LONDON (AP) — Britain has reasserted its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands after Argentina pulled out of a cooperation agreement and demanded new talks over the South Atlantic territory that sparked a 1982 war between the two countries. [...] "The Falkland Islands are British," Cleverly tweeted late Friday. "Islanders have the right to decide their own future — they have chosen to remain a self-governing U.K. Overseas Territory.’’ Earlier, Cafiero said he told Cleverly that Argentina had decided to pull out of a 2016 agreement in which the the two countries pledged to work together on a variety of issues. While that agreement sought to improve cooperation in the South Atlantic, both sides continued to assert their claims to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, known as Islas Malvinas in Argentina.
Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-11-08): The Falkland Islands—an archipelago in the South Atlantic located 8,000 miles away from the British Isles—were once one of the U.K.’s more obscure overseas territories, home to a community of just 1,800 people, the majority of whom were of British descent. Almost all of these individuals were rural sheep farmers who worked as tenants on land owned by a local corporation. Per the New York Times’ Larry Rohter, the islanders "depended on the company for everything." [...] Britain’s presence in the Falklands dates back to 1690, when Navy Captain John Strong made the first recorded landing on the unpopulated islands. The British started a settlement on the archipelago in the mid-18th century but abandoned it around a decade later, leaving the area under Spanish control. The newly independent Argentina arrived on the scene in 1820 and promptly laid claim to the Falklands, arguing that it had inherited the islands from the Spanish crown earlier that century. [...] Britain’s government had actually attempted to convince the islands’ inhabitants to join Argentina in the decades leading up to the war, as it "saw little long-term future and was reluctant to invest in making the Falklands prosperous and secure," writes scholar Lawrence Freedman for History Extra. But a 1968 agreement guaranteeing that the islanders would have final say over their home’s sovereignty hampered these efforts, and a proposed lease-back arrangement in which the Falklands would remain under British administration but acknowledge Argentinian sovereignty ultimately fizzled out.
Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-07): The history of the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) goes back at least five hundred years, with active exploration and colonisation only taking place in the 18th century. Nonetheless, the Falkland Islands have been a matter of controversy, as they have been claimed by the French, British, Spaniards and Argentines at various points. [...] For a brief period, the Falkland Islands found themselves under Argentine control. This included Spanish-language signage, and attempts to make the islanders drive on the right (although few roads in the Falklands at the time actually had two lanes). In many parts of the Camp, such as Goose Green and Pebble Island, the islanders found themselves under house arrest. [...] - Timeline of Falklands Island history
Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-12): Falkland Islands War, a brief undeclared war fought between Argentina and Great Britain in 1982 over control of the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) and associated island dependencies. [...] Argentina had claimed sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, which lie 300 miles (480 km) east of its coast, since the early 19th century, but Britain seized the islands in 1833, expelling the few remaining Argentine occupants, and since then consistently rejected Argentina’s claims. In early 1982 the Argentine military junta led by Lieut. Gen. Leopoldo Galtieri gave up on long-running negotiations with Britain and instead launched an invasion of the islands. The decision to invade was chiefly political: the junta, which was being criticized for economic mismanagement and human rights abuses, believed that the "recovery" of the islands would unite Argentines behind the government in a patriotic fervour. An elite invasion force trained in secrecy, but its timetable was shortened on March 19 when a dispute erupted on British-controlled South Georgia island, where Argentine salvage workers had raised the Argentine flag, 800 miles (1,300 km) east of the Falklands. Naval forces were quickly mobilized.

Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-02-20): The South American state maintains that it inherited the islands, known in Argentina as Las Malvinas, from the Spanish crown in the early 1800s, and that their close proximity to the Argentinian mainland is reason enough for its claim. Alasdair Pinkerton, associate professor in geopolitics at Royal Holloway, University of London, told Al Jazeera that Argentinian claims of sovereignty over the Falklands remain "deeply ingrained within Argentine politics and society, inculcated through the education system, street signage, banknotes and the Argentina constitution". [...] In a bid to push back against intensifying Argentinian claims over the territory, Falklanders went to the polls on March 10 and 11, 2013 to vote on the following question, "Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?"

Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-03): Sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) is disputed by Argentina and the United Kingdom. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands,[1] and the United Kingdom has exercised de facto sovereignty over the archipelago almost continuously since 1833. Argentina has long disputed this claim, having been in control of the islands for a few years prior to 1833. The dispute escalated in 1982, when Argentina invaded the islands, precipitating the Falklands War. [...] Following World War II, the British Empire declined and many colonies gained their independence. Argentina saw this as an opportunity to push its case for gaining sovereignty over the Falkland Islands,[citation needed] and raised the issue in the United Nations, first stating its claim after joining the UN in 1945. Following this claim, the United Kingdom offered to take the dispute over the Falkland Islands Dependencies to mediation at the International Court of Justice in The Hague (1947,[51] 1948[52] and 1955[52]). On each occasion Argentina declined. [...] Current claims [edit]Argentina [edit]The Argentine government argues that it has maintained a claim over the Falkland Islands since 1833.[85] It considers the archipelago part of the Tierra del Fuego Province, along with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-08-08): Although first sighted by an English navigator in 1592, the first landing (English) did not occur until almost a century later in 1690, and the first settlement (French) was not established until 1764. The colony was turned over to Spain two years later, and the islands have since been the subject of a territorial dispute, first between Britain and Spain, then between Britain and Argentina. The UK asserted its claim to the islands by establishing a naval garrison there in 1833. Argentina invaded the islands in 1982. The British responded with an expeditionary force and after fierce fighting forced an Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982. With hostilities ended and Argentine forces withdrawn, UK administration resumed. In response to renewed calls from Argentina for Britain to relinquish control of the islands, a referendum was held in 2013 that resulted in 99.8% of the population voting to remain a part of the UK.

Claim: Falkland Islands is a territory of Argentina (Falkland Islands, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-04-19): At this time of year, the Falkland Islands (or Islas Malvinas) take centre stage in public and political life across Argentina. April 2 marked the 40th anniversary of what many Argentines think of as the "recovery" of an integral part of their national territory from the UK. The "recovery" was only to last for 74 days before a British task force defeated Argentine troops and reclaimed what the UK government recognises as a British overseas territory – the Falkland Islands. [...] This is hardly surprising, given that an amendment to Argentina’s Constitution in 1994 effectively demanded that all subsequent governments commit to "the recovery … and the full exercise of sovereignty" of the Malvinas and other south-west Atlantic territories, which include South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. [...] The slogans "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" (The Malvinas are Argentine) or as the Argentine president more recently stated on Twitter, "Las Malvinas fueron, son y serán argentinos" (The Malvinas were, are and will be Argentine) reinforcing the notion of "recovery" of national sovereignty over the islands, are also a familiar sight in public spaces. A recent government initiative will require all forms of public transport to carry the words "Las Malvinas son Argentinas".

Evidence (2022-06-12): Falkland Islands: Loss echoes across Argentina 40 years on [...] Argentina and the UK have disagreed over the ownership of the islands for two centuries. Argentina claims the Malvinas are theirs because it inherited the islands from the Spanish crown in the 1800s and because of their proximity to Argentina. The UK bases its claims on long-standing administration of the islands and on the principle of self-determination of the islanders, who in 2013 overwhelmingly said they wanted to remain British. [...] "It's in our DNA that the Malvinas are Argentinian, it's like a football shirt," says veteran Daniel Guzman who lost 12 friends in 1982 - their names inscribed on the walls of the memorial in the centre of Ushuaia. It was a period that marks him to this day. "War though is a huge step back both in terms of the bilateral relationship and the human one. When we lost the war, we lost the human touch too."
