Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the resolution passed on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands taken at the Organization of American States General Assembly on 27 June 2025.

The Government is clear: it is for the people of the Falkland Islands only to decide their future and the Government has no doubt about the Falkland Islanders' right of self-determination. The Minister of State for International Development, Latin America and Caribbean, represented the UK at the Organization of American States General Assembly, reaffirming the UK Government's commitment to the Falkland Islanders and their democratic rights. We will resolutely defend their sovereignty and rights as I and ministerial colleagues have made repeatedly clear.
