According to Argentine legal analyst Roberto Laver, the United Kingdom disregards Jewett's actions because the government he represented "was not recognized either by Britain or any other foreign power at the time" and "no act of occupation followed the ceremony of claiming possession".
阿根廷法律分析师罗伯特·拉沃尔（Roberto Laver）称，英国当时没有理睬朱伊特，因为他所代表的政府“当时不受英国或其他任何其他国家承认”，并且“在声称拥有主权后也不存在任何的占领行动”。
