About this analysis

The Guardian reports the opening of Argentina's case at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea against the UK's approval of the Sea Lion oil project off the Falklands. It sets out Argentina's arguments and the UK attorney general's response, attributing each side's claims to the people who made them. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

  • “Argentina has told an international tribunal that Britain’s approval of oil drilling off the Falkland Islands has dramatically deepened a sovereignty dispute”

    The opening line attributes Argentina's case to Argentina rather than stating it as the outlet's own view, so the reader knows from the start whose claim it is.

  • “claiming Britain’s approval of is in breach of a 1976 UN resolution”

    The article reports the legal claim against the UK as Argentina's claim, with the specific resolution it relies on, and does not present it as established.

  • “She claimed that Argentina was seeking to litigate the issue of sovereignty through Itlos”

    The UK government's position is given the same attribution as Argentina's, so neither party's contested view passes into the outlet's own voice.
