   • 2022 April 2, Santiago Cafiero, “Forty years after the Malvinas war, Britain still acts as if the dispute is settled. It isn’t”, in The Guardian‎:

     The 40th anniversary of the Malvinas war compels us to pay homage to and honour the memory of the fallen Argentine and British soldiers who lost their lives there. It should also lead us to reflect on why, four decades on from the cessation of hostilities, Argentina and the United Kingdom have not been able to resume a substantive dialogue to resolve the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas, South Georgias and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas, despite the call made by the international community through UN resolutions.

     The EU is not in a situation to express any position on the Falklands/Malvinas, as there has not been any council [of member states] discussion or decision on this matter.

使用する際の注意点

• The use of this term is generally restricted to supporters of Argentina's position in the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute or individuals discussing the islands from an Argentine perspective or context; residents of the islands often consider it offensive (compare Spanish Islas Falkland).
• Some academic or official literature uses constructions such as Falklands/Malvinas to avoid taking a position on the dispute.
