Falklands in the Spotlight at UN: Islanders’ representatives have been speaking at the UN Committee of 24, defending self-determination and pressing for a visiting mission; separately, the UN Decolonisation committee has urged Argentina and the UK to resume sovereignty talks. Consultation Update: The Falkland Islands Government has confirmed salmon-farming consultation dates: public engagement starts 27 July, with documents published 29 June and an online survey running 6 August to 30 October. Fishing Watch: The illex squid season has closed, with catches down versus the ten-year average and fuel costs a concern, though officials say it’s not an immediate cause for alarm.
