Note that any work originating in the Falkland Islands must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both the Falkland Islands and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.

Background

The Falkland Islands have had French, British, Spanish, and Argentine settlements at different times. They have been controlled by Britain since 1833. The Falkland Islands is a British Overseas Territory, though Argentine remains claiming sovereignty here. It is self-governing, and its government enacts local laws. These are largely based on British law.

As of 2019, the Falkland Island government lists the Copyright Act 1956 c.74 as being applicable in the Falkland Islands by virtue of the Copyright (Falkland Islands) Order 1963 (S.I. 1963/1037).[1] The United Kingdom government holds a copy of this act as originally enacted.[2]
