Falklands. Prevent the UK Government selling weapons to Argentina

Falklands. Prevent the UK Government selling weapons to Argentina — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Currently UK export rules ban weapons with British parts from being sold to Argentina, in place since the Falkland's War. The UK Government is considering lifting this ban.

Additional details

We the undersigned state this ban must not be lifted or diluted in any way especially considering the Falkland's Sea Lion oil field is due to begin exporting oil from 2028. It is strategic suicide for the UK to sell and/or permit weapons with British components to Argentina (either directly or indirectly), in light of Argentina's continued wish to gain sovreignty of the Falklands even before viable oil fields were discovered, and now due to be exporting in the near future.
