Falkland Islands Association information


The Falkland Islands Association (FIA) is a United Kingdom-based organisation, established 1968, that campaigns internationally for the self-determination of the people of the Falkland Islands.[1][2]

Activities of the association include the monitoring of political activity and press comment relating to the Falklands and the lobbying of politicians and officials on matters relating to the islands. The association liaises with the Falkland Islands Government and their representative in London attends Executive Committee meetings of the association. The association maintains a representative presence in the Falkland Islands.[1]

The FIA was instrumental in the establishment of the South Georgia Association.[3]
