    Last time I checked, the River Plate was not a British river, so what's the problem? When will you learn that this is South America, not Europe?

    “innocent passage ” my *ss! That's not innocent passage, that's stealing other country's resources.

    Kiwi'sArse - Argentina complaining to Argentina may well have been happening for 178 years but it doesn't mean much.

    Britain heard no protest between 1849 and 1888 and then nothing until the 1950's. Moaning to another country, or the Postal Union, or whoever doesn't count. Official protests to the country concerned do.

    As for the River Plate belonging to South America, well half of it belongs to Uruguay and that was where the vessels were heading. Bugger all to do with Argentina.

    But then Argentina has never been very good at following the rules that didn't suit it.

    pelotudoRED: No aquiescence from Argentina....
    It can be argued that the conditions for acquisition of a title by prescription were not satisfied because of Argentina's continued protests at the British occupation from 1833 to the present day. Furthermore, in 1884 Argentina offered to take the case to arbitration. Britain refused. This further strengthens the case against a British title by prescription.

    The one point in favour of the British case is the gap between 1849 and 1884. During those 35 years no protest occurred, but Argentina stressed that silence should not be taken to mean abandonment of the claim.

    It is possible that thirty-five years is long enough to allow the conclusion that Argentina had acquiesced in British possession and therefore Britain had acquired the title by prescription. The length of time required for acquiescence has never been determined by a tribunal, but most writers on international law suggest that fifty years or more without interruption are required for the acquisition of title by prescription to occur.

    In summary, the British claim to sovereignty over the Falklands on the basis of prescription is rather tenuous. It assumes first of all that prescription is recognized as a principle in international law, an issue which is far from settled. Even if it was recognized, it is unlikely Britain would be able to show that Argentina had acquiesced in its occupation of the Falklands and hence unlikely that Britain could have acquired the title by prescription.

    “ It can be argued that the conditions for acquisition of a title by prescription were not satisfied because of Argentina's continued protests at the British occupation from 1833 to the present day”

    PROVE IT !

    “ 1884 Argentina offered to take the case to arbitration. Britain ”

    PROVE IT

    You won't be able to, of course. The only discourse that could be interpreted as an invitation to arbitration was a response by Argentina to a British protest.

    1885 – January 2nd, in a response to the British protest, Foreign Minister Ortiz suggests that, “ ... the postponed discussion be reopened again… and resolved by the friendly means and law that today civilized nations adopt to solve questions of this type .. ”

    Not very clear. Now when, in 1955 WE invited Argentina to the ICJ we did it by placing the papers before the court. Easy to prove that !

    The FIRST protest after 1849 was in 1888 -

    1888 – January 20th, Foreign Minister Norberto Quirno Costa protests against Britain's possession of the Falkland Islands in a letter addressed to the British Minister, Francis Packenham, in Buenos Aires: “ The Argentine Government maintains its protest with respect to the illegitimate occupation of the Malvinas Islands ; it does not abandon, and never will abandon, its rights to these territories ; ”

    A Permanent Court of Arbitration was founded in 1899 but Argentina didn't apply for the case to be taken there.

    How about 1914 ??

    December 23rd, British Ambassador, Sir Reginald Tower, has a conversation with Argentina's Foreign Minister, Jose Murature, in which the Argentine Minister comments that his country has not made any protest over the issue of the Falklands since 1888.“

    Oh dear ... that doesn't help you, does it!

    1933 - March 16th, the Argentine Government protest the issue of the Falklands stamps to the International Postal Union, stating that the stamps will not be recognised in Argentina”

    THE POSTAL UNION ?? !!

    Come on Marv - produce some EVIDENCE !

    Argentina's colonial dreams are a relic of the 19th/early 20th century and should be abandoned immediately. The corrupt Peronists will continue to abuse their regional power until shown that this is unacceptable behaviour from a 'developed' country. Sanctions from the UN are in order.

    Or how about we send a few more navy ships down there and do what we are doing of the coast of somalia and escort the spanish vessel to protect their right to innocent passage through international waters and argentina territorial waters. By the way - Yes foreign military vessels are entitled to innocent passage at to escort civilian/commercial vessels during inncocent passage through a foreign countrys terrirtorial waters, its there in the UN convention on the law of the sea.

    Would love to see what your muppet argentina navy and their rowing boats will do then. By the way their is no such thing as a legal blockade as all blockades that are not sanctioned by the UN are illegal and therefore an act of war. So do not be surprised if the UK turns round and calls upon the UN and its Nato Allies, whom are under treaty to defend Nato allies that are attacked by hostile countries (and the blockade is an attack on british sovereingty), and for britian and its allies to declare war on Argentina.

    Jesus you dumbs idiots do not even realise your on the verge of war, and its your dumb arse governement that is pushing you towards war. We don't want war, but by god we will fight and put argentina back 100 years if war does happen. How does the sounds of bombs and missles expolding over argentine cities on a daily/nightly basis wiping out your countries infastructure, power grid, water supply, governemt buildings, manufacturing and industrial sectors sound. You guys do not even realise what the consquences you will face after we have kicked your arses will be, nor do you realise just how much and how long you will suffer long after the war is over. Hell if war is what you want, then rest assured, by the end of it britian and nato allies will be in full control of argentina, either that or we just bomb the crap out of you and leave you to be the next somalia. Then we can call you pirates then, oh how the tables will turn lol. You ignorant, blind and dumb argentine fools.

    It won´t be resolved as long as the UK keeps denying the conflict.
    Believing they can put a full stop ´cos they won the war is stupid, like Ms Kirchner said.

    Well, there´s clearly no stop anywhere... Stop being stupid!

    And the conflict still persists not only because of argentinian´s stubborness and refusal to quit its legimtimate claims... The world is wants the dispute to be settled for once and for all.... the whole world except the pirat family (commonwealth).

    @27 I fail to see how my comments are provokative at all. It is Argentina that is being provokative, and it is such provokation that will cause britain to send Navy ships to excort the fishing vessels, and probably result in spain sending their navy ships to also escort the vessals as a result of your argentina navy harassing them during innocent passage. I am simply point out to you dumb argentine idiots that your government is currently on a collision course that will lead to war.

    As for the decree, well its illegal as you do not have recongnise sovereingty of the islands the UK does have recongnised sovereingty of the islands, all you have is a disputed claim over the islands nothing more, so the decree is illegal under international law and under the convention of the law of the sea.

    As for the blockade, please stop being a dumb shit trying to insult our intelligence by denying the bloackade exists when your own government admits to it, though they wrongly call it a legal bloackade which it is not as it is not sanctioned by the UN. Don't believe me when i say your contry admit to it, will i suggest you read the article where it says ”For Argentina the Spanish fishing vessels are committing a double offence, “illegally fishing in Argentine waters” (with the wrong licence issued by the Falklands government) and violating a “legal” blockade of sea channels to the Falklands.”

    And also read the other aritcle on here, where argentina confirms they are intercepting spanish fishing vessels - http://en.mercopress.com/2011/11/28/argentina-confirms-high-seas-boarding-of-spanish-fleet-fishing-in-falklands.

    The blockade may look absurd, contrary to international economics, child like adventure....but it is actually working. Sadly enough, it is costing the fishing companies more money to operate (diverting), it is costing the UK more resources to support the Overseas Territories, it put pressure on the Falklands people....etc.

    @32 I'd like to draw your attention to something.
    http://www.un.org/en/decolonization/nonselfgovterritories.shtml

    You will note that the document is published by the United Nations. The United Nations publishes a document showing that the UN recognises that the United Kingdom is the legal administration of the Falkland Islands.

    There is NO dispute at the UN. If you think there is, it is because you don't understand how the world works.

    Let's see if I can help you. I am sure that you have a list of UN resolutions relating to the Falkland Islands. So alongside that list write down who or what passed those resolutions.

    Now here's the really good bit. You're going to love this. ALL resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly are non-binding. No UN member can be required to take action in response to a General Assembly resolution. If your list is complete it will include UN Security Council resolutions 502 and 505. Security Council resolutions ARE binding on UN members. And what action did your pitiful country take in response to resolution 502? The resolution called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and complete withdrawal of Argentine forces. It carried right on with its invasion and occupation.

    So don't bother us by whittering about UN resolutions. You only notice the ones that suit you.

    Argentina's territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles from the low-water baseline. It is a breach of international law to interfere with freedom of navigation beyond that point. So how many breaches of international law have you managed so far? Do what you like within those 12 nautical miles. Once outside that limit.......? Well, for the moment, you are only messing around with Spain. Wouldn't mess with a British or Falklands-flagged vessel. To do so would be an act of war. And you know that you're useless at that. Remember what three torpedos did to your tin can in '82? And here's a tip. Your frigates are smaller than ours. Frigates are the biggest you have!

    In 1982 you attacked an Island of sheep farmers with 12000 men. What was the old saying from Galtieri “Once we are on the Islands they will never get us off” well even the U.S. Navy considered a successful counter-invasion by the British to be 'a military impossibility' given the size of the Argentine force, the defences they put in place & the hostile waters around the Islands.

    Now its 2011 & it would be impossible for any invasion force to get near the islands. The Military base will know you are coming,your invasion force will get nailed by Subs, Ships, & Jets before it even gets to the Islands. The defense forces on the Island have more firepower than your entire military & can be reinforced with extra typhoons & troops within 24 hours. Do you really think Argentina who's forces have been seriously depleted over the years has any chance of even launching an invasion let alone a successful one.

    I think it is evident by the tactics Argentina are using that they have no intentions of physically attacking the Falkland Islands.

    The Peronist party was based on Mussolini's fascist model; Juan was a great admirer. Thus the current plan is “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

    And it works very well on a lot of Argentines who believe the lies. Their problem is that is does not work well on the free-thinking, democratic governments they actually need to believe the lies.

    @38 Malen.

    I read one of your links and the Argentine representatives at the UN in 2010 called GUILLERMO RAIMUNDO CLIFTON said “In ”the current inhabitants [of the Falkland Islands] were “beneficiaries” of colonialism”. Didnt Argentina benefit from the European (most specifically Spanish) colonisation of South America? Umm....it most certainly did! It is truly laughable how twisted and hypocritical the Argentine arguement is. Its outrageous! And then add in the another one of Argentina's arguements over the Falklands that they “inherited” the Falklands from Spain. Spain! The colonisers of South America.

    You are profoundly mistaken. I read the same Link and the fact that is managed, does not mean that they are sovereign. It is more said in an asterisk refer to:
    Falkland Islands (Malvinas) 4: 4. A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). (See ST/CS/SER.A/42)
    Please do not confuse or (lie) about this. It is clear that decisions are made to meet them, especially decolonization committee of the UN.
    Just observe the UN resolutions and the 2065 (XX) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37 / 9), 1983 (38/12), 1984 (39 / 6), 1985 (40/21), 1986 (41/40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25)

    Raimundi Guillermo said the strict truth. Please hypocrisy is the UK, by not complying with UN resolutions. Is your policy on 500 years of colonial history. Please take a few minutes to read these link-minded and mean:

    The answer is a simple one, we send down a couple of subs and a couple of Frigates and when the Argy pirates intercept any law abiding ships we blow the Argy f*****s out of the water, time to stop messing about and show this pirate nation called Argentina who is boss. They are getting to big for their boots so we must slap them down once more.

    The UK (United Kingdom) created the largest and most succesful empire of all time. It's not covered in Argentine history books very well but you can find out more online. In Argentina the UK is called Reinos Unidos. They are one of the 5 permanant security council members of the UN.

    We even have a little history with Argentine - http://falklandstimeline.wordpress.com/

    1) Are Prat and Morecrap related - very closely; and living proof that incest is not a good idea?

    2) Is it possible for two individuals to share the same brain cell or would MoreCrap and Prat have to have one each ?

    Did you know that if you get married in Argentina the law say's that you have to get a blood test first to make sure neither party have any illness's and also to prove that they are not related. I asked why and it was because of the high rate of siblings marrying each other.

    #68 as I expected no other reason, but don't feel bad there was no right answer to that.
    #69 1) incest by nature would allows for a child to know who mom and dad is, unlike a poor SOB.
    2) I think you just descrived how brain cells are distributed among homoignorant in UK.
    #70 relax man ! you can say anything you want because that is freedom of speech but do not insult the chimp nor the orangutan.
    #72 I doubt bery much you are capable of thinking by yourself.
    #73 if you live in Argentina for what you tell us I am sure you must be in Malvinas Argentina breding with your mom, dad and syster but that was not Argentina's foult, an interesting fact about the illegal alien inbread in Malvinas Argentina is that after 100 years the population are all still 90% british with 10% penguin mix, fortunatelly for british inbreads the population is making a strong comaback while the pendguins are going extinct. now for the big question, is incest by any national as relevant to this report as british petroleum polluting the seas and killing the fish ?? I think UK should pick the log out of their own eye if they are to see the lint in Argentina's eye.

    Err Prat Face, they are still 90% british, probably because the the original population was 99% british and alot of brits have moved to the islands since then and some have actually married Foreign citizens that have chosen to stay in the falklands. 85-90% of argentinas population are spanish, does that mean your incestous inbreeders too?

    FYI I live in Argentina. Not the Falklands. I have never visited the Islands but if the opportunity ever presents itself I would love to.

    I am sorry to say that i come into contact with a lot of this inbreeding in Argentina. I have a friend who works in a Hogar for the children who are born with disabilities and/ or are simple discarded because of the shame. The state does not help at all and the Hogar relies on donations. donations that are very few and far between. The way a people treats their disabled is a good gage I think of the level of civilization. One bowl of rice for breakfast/lunch and dinner is all they get. The conditions are to be honest, squalid. Yet this is a good Hogar. It is run by the catholic church and they do as good a job as possible.

    Now go away and have some solo fun with yourself as i'm sure your single from what you have said.
