Recent Argentine and Chilean Decrees Relating to the Antarctic [The texts of certain decrees relating to Argentine and Chilean territorial claims in the Antarctic were reproduced, with a map showing the extent of these claims, in the Polar Record, No. 82, July 1946, pp. 412–17. The texts of some more recent decrees are printed below. It may be noted that the western limit of the Argentine claim, shown as longitude 68° 34' W. in the map mentioned above, has since been indicated on official Argentine maps as longitude 74° W.]

page 223 note 2 In this Decree, South Georgia has been separated from the other Falkland Islands Dependencies and grouped with the Falkland Islands. The implication appears to be that South Georgia is Argentine territory under de facto British occupation; and as such, differs from the South Orkneys and those other territories, in the Dependencies which are already considered by the Argentine Government to be under Argentine jurisdiction.—Eds.
