Sandwich del Sur —

Eligibility synthesis: Persons born in the South Sandwich Islands (Sandwich del Sur) to Argentine parents. The route is analogous to the Malvinas route (AR-EXT-01-Malvinas).

Operational context: This route operates within the constitutional framework of Article 75(12) of the National Constitution (which reserves the general naturalization law to Congress), Ley 346/1869 (Citizenship Law), and Article 75(22) of the Constitution (the federal human-rights treaty block). The First Transitional Provision of the Constitution declares that "the Argentine Nation ratifies its legitimate and imprescriptible sovereignty over the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the corresponding maritime and insular spaces." UN General Assembly Resolution 2065 (XX) of 1965 recognizes the existence of a sovereignty dispute.

Scope and limits of recognition: The route's status is disputed. It is recognized by the Argentine government and by supportive member states of the Organization of American States (OEA). It is not enforceable in UK courts, before the British Overseas Territory administration, or in European Court of Human Rights proceedings against the UK. It is effective for purposes of Argentine consular registration and for diaspora recognition under the First Transitional Provision.
