Abstract

This paper presents the main negotiations that concern Chile and Antarctica, starting with the first negotiations with Argentina in 1906 as a result of the government's complaint to a Chilean concession granted to two individuals that comprises around two million hectares. They are followed by the Huneeus-Anadón and Puga Borne-Anadón negotiations, in 1907 and 1908; the Escudero-Ruiz Moreno negotiation of 1941; the Escudero-Green negotiations of 1948; the preparatory negotiations for the International Geophysical Year in Paris (1955); the Antarctic Treaty negotiations in Washington (1959); and, finally, the first negotiation on oil exploitation, in a consultative meeting in Wellington, Australia (1972), since which eleven years of special meetings have passed and there is still no final agreement to draft these regulations.
