The Falkland Islands are disputed between Argentina and the United Kingdom, with Argentina claiming them as Islas Malvinas despite British control. The Kuril Islands are contested between Russia and Japan, with Japan claiming the southernmost islands, which Russia currently administers. The Spratly Islands in the South China Sea are highly contested, with overlapping claims from China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan due to their strategic and economic significance. However, the Svalbard Islands belong to Norway under the Svalbard Treaty (1920) and are not subject to territorial dispute.
