The consensus rule has been useful to guarantee the stability of the Antarctic politics. However, this international regimen's evolution creates new scenarios of negotiation where this rule could be insufficient. Main challenges to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings as a decision-making forum to the Antarctic government are analyzed.
