Insiden Selat Kerkyra
Insiden Selat Kerkyra merupakan tiga peristiwa yang melibatkan kapal Angkatan Laut Britania Raya di Selat Kerkyra pada tahun 1946 dan salah satu insiden pertama yang mengawali Perang Dingin.[1][2][3][4] Dalam insiden pertama, kapal-kapal AL Britania Raya ditembaki oleh tentara Albania di pesisir.[2] Dalam insiden kedua, kapal-kapal AL Britania Raya menabrak ranjau laut. Dalam insiden ketiga, AL Britania Raya melakukan pembersihan ranjau di Selat Kerkyra, tepatnya di wilayah perairan Albania,[1] dan Albania mengeluh kepada Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa.[2]

Rangkaian insiden ini memicu kasus Selat Kerkyra. Britania Raya menuntut Republik Rakyat Albania di Mahkamah Internasional.[5] Mahkamah Internasional memutuskan Albania harus membayar £844.000 kepada Britania Raya.[4][6] Nilai tersebut setara dengan £29.3 juta hari ini.[7] Karena insiden ini, Britania Raya membatalkan rencana pembinaan hubungan diplomatik dengan Albania pada tahun 1946. Hubungan diplomatik kedua negara ini baru normal kembali tahun 1991.[8]
