Foreign Policy

Argentina's foreign policy has oscillated between alignment with the West (particularly under liberal governments) and a more independent, South-South orientation. Core constants include the Malvinas/Falklands sovereignty claim, Mercosur integration, nuclear non-proliferation (Argentina renounced nuclear weapons), and human rights advocacy.

Argentina is a leading advocate for the principle of universal jurisdiction for human rights crimes and has been instrumental in developing international norms on enforced disappearances. Its relationship with the IMF is a perennial political issue domestically and diplomatically.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Argentina, the Malvinas/Falklands sovereignty claim is your most enduring foreign policy position -- raise it in decolonisation debates and rally Latin American support. The UN General Assembly has repeatedly called for negotiation, which supports your position.

Leverage your G20 membership to engage on global economic governance, and use your Mercosur leadership to anchor South American positions. Argentina's human rights credentials (post-dictatorship truth and justice process) give you moral authority on transitional justice and the ICC.

Navigate carefully between US/Western alignment and South-South solidarity. Argentina's economic volatility makes you a credible voice on debt sustainability and IMF reform. Build coalitions with Brazil on regional leadership while managing the natural rivalry between the two.
