Difference between revisions of "Territorial claims in Antarctica"

Uruguayan Antarctica (Spanish: ''Antártida Uruguaya'') is the sector of [[Antarctica]] where Professor Julio César Musso believes the Republic of Uruguay should exercise its sovereignty. It was not assigned a specific definition nor meant as a territorial claim, but rather was intended as an area of natural action of the southern maritime projection of Uruguay. Uruguay is part of the [[Antarctic Treaty]] System as a consulting member, and it reserved the right to make a territorial claim.

Claims to Antarctic territory by [[micronation]]s are largely governed by the [[Antarctic Micronational Union]], although many micronations with claims have chosen not to participate in the Union. The [[Talossa|Kingdom of Talossa]] maintains a claim over [[Marie Byrd Land]], which they call the Pengöpäts Antarctic Territory. Although this claim is in direct conflict with Westarctica's claim, at [[MicroCon 2017]], [[Grand Duke Travis]] entered a pact with the Governor of Pengöpäts promising to resolve any differences peacefully.
