Malvinas ‘Ushuaia declaration’ will be approved this week by the Argentine congress
The chairman of the Argentine Lower House Foreign Affairs Committee, Guillermo Carmona said that the recent ‘Ushuaia Declaration’ claiming sovereignty over the Falklands/Malvinas Islands will be posted to all Parliaments world-wide to ratify and further advance Argentina’s position in the dispute.
Carmona who was recently nominated chairman of the committee anticipated that the agenda for this year besides the Malvinas question includes as a priority Latin American integration.
Last February 25, the foreign affairs committees from the two houses and with members from all parties represented in the Argentine congress agreed at a special session in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego on a strong statement in support of Malvinas sovereignty and the government’s policies.
Carmona added that according to what was agreed with the Senate International Relations committee, the ‘Ushuaia Declaration’ will be passed by Congress next Wednesday, which is this year’s first formal session.
“It has been planned that the declaration is posted to all parliaments in the whole world, and we are also planning concrete actions in Latam countries where it will be ratified what is for us, a matter of State”.
Carmona added that the declaration will be also presented at different international forums, particularly at the coming Inter-Parliamentarian scheduled for April in Uganda.
Furthermore the Lower House committee has begun a round of contacts with Latam ambassadors to thank them for their Malvinas support, the first was Brazil’s, Enio Cordeiro.
The lawmakers are also planning trips to Uruguay and Chile to meet with their peers.
Carmona described as an ultra ‘Kirchnerite, said that with the naming of the Argentine ambassador in London, Alicia Castro, it is anticipated that contacts with Westminster will be re-established, particularly the House of Commons Foreign Affairs committee.
”Argentina for the first time in many years has a foreign policy which is a reflection of what in going on in domestic affairs, such is the case of the inclusive economic policy implemented by President Cristina Fernandez, which has been promoted in different international forums”, said Carmona.

First of all as we know there is no need for the “Ushuaia declaration” (snigger, snigger) as they already have this written into their constitution. This is about making them feel good about themselves and making it look as though they are doing something.
Also what a climbdown re the UK govt. they have obviously got absolutely nowhere with bringing the Prime minister into this discussion and have therefore decided to lower their sights on a parliamentary committee.
“...it is anticipated that contacts with Westminster will be re-established” - I wouldn't bank on it. The UK doesnt want to talk to you about it!
Oh dear.
The first step for Argentina is to rescind all declarations and constitutional parts that insist on sovereignty. Until that happens no discussions can be had.
So yeah, yet another fail by argentina that is designed to distract its peoples attention from the real problems in argentina. God everyday almost, we have argentina making statements about the falklands, yet very rarely is the UK making new of different statements. Though we could indeed see this new act as an a breach of our sovereignty and as an hostile act by argentina, as it clearly is an attempt to steal sovereignty from us.
Significant signs of policy failure. Thanks for all the free publicity though, the cause of self determination has moved forward all over the world in the last few months......perhaps CFK should put that in her communique and claim credit for it. Now that would be in character.
But Kony is theologian.
Some US troops settled there not UK ones.
would you be a reference for a violent thug applying for a job at a nursery?
“Guillermo Carmona said that the recent ‘Ushuaia Declaration’ claiming sovereignty over the Falklands/Malvinas Islands will be posted to all Parliaments world-wide to ratify and further advance Argentina’s position in the dispute.” ... will you post them Guillermo? Will you? Will you really post them?
*laughs*
Do they really think all this nonsense is going to impress any other nation outside LatAm?
As for having a dialogue with Britain because they have a new Ambassador, well, I can only hope they all hold their breath until that happens.
The Argentinian 'declaration' distribution to the world's governments has yet to be seen, but it will probably invite the nations to sign up to an 'insistance' that the UN and its Resolutions in this matter be 'respected' and the sovereignty issue be re-opened in the full light of publicity.
Not 'heavyweight support'.
This would (will?) work counter to the decolonisation activities of the UN C24 and could reasonably take TFI off the C24 agenda forever. Their C24 brief is seek return of lands to the indiginants, not to wholly depopulate countries.
With no prior population, TFI falls outside its remit, largely if not wholly.
Are they basically writing to every government in the world stating “Las Malvinas Son Argentinos” with a request that they sign and return it to clarify they agree?
hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahaha, silly repugnant argentinean goverment, trying to steal the falklanders land. colonial pigs etc, etc :)
Just why?

I wouldn't normally post youtube video links but the creator of this masterpiece was a comedy genius. Brits and Falklanders will be falling off their seats laughing (as would most neutrals at a guess). Argentines maybe not.....

If KONY is considered a theologian in Argentina you are sicker than I thought. The guy kindnaps children! The males are Boy Soldiers and the females sex slaves. Although he could be living there considering your record of giving refuge to War Criminals..
“” KONY 2012 “” is a crafty piece of propaganda.It happens to have been released at just the right moment in history.The movie's narrator warns “” this movie will expire at the end of 2012“”.Of course it is just coincidence that Obama is running for re-election this year.The camera often often makes shy glances towards shot of “” KONY“”and “” OBAMA“” posters next to one other.The message is clear “” elect one man and you'll
defeat the other “”.
Another events a film neglects to mention is that Uganda's government announced the large oil reserves at the northern part cıuntry last spring.Of course this is probably coincidence and has nothing to do with Obama's decision to send special forces to Uganda several months later,despite this event that the LRA has shifted their operations to Congo.

I would assume even the most ardent malvinista would dissassociate from him.
In 1954 a mass detention program began named “” Operation Anvil“” aiming to uproot Mau Mau from the Kenya capital Nairobi,believed to be it's nerve centre.General Sir George Erskin commanded 25000 troops to purge the city sector by sector of all members of Kiyuyu,Embu and Meru tribal groups who were placed in barbed wire enclosures.In a two weeks period 20000 males detainees were sent to be interrogated while 30000 women and children were placed in the reserves ,ultimately to be moved to “ protected villages” with 23 hour curfew.
The rebellion itself was defeated by 1956,According to the British Officials Figures 11000 KLFA fighters were killed while British loses fewer than 200. There were 1819 African civilians death on each side and 32 white civilian death.Emergency rule ,which provided legal protection for perpetrators of repressiononly end in 1959.Historians estimate that 100000 -- 300000 Africans were killed.
Of course atrocities carried out in other British colonies such as Malaya and Cyprus will increasingly brought into the light.
Wow welcome to the thought process of Malvinista fanatics :)...whatever next, why don't we as the UK claim sovereignty over Argentina because about 150 years ago, she wiped out the Mapuche :) Mclick, did you buy your arguments on E-bay, clearly you've been ripped off mate :)
when the non profit “” TRI “” launched on line video called “” KONY 2012“”
filled wth lightened lights,footage and battle scarred African children and tearful appeals to emotion ,the movie rallies its viewers around a single goal : stopping the Lords' Resistence Army (LRA)and its leader Joseph KONY with the help of US military of course and Oprah Winfrey.
At first glance that's not such a bad idea After all “”LRA “”has kidnapped perhaps thousands of Ugandan children and forced them into their milita in their bid to topple the Ugandan Government.The movie ignores ,however is that Ugandan government and its US backed leader Y.Museveni doesn't appear to have a much better record when it comes to human rights.
Do you want to follow Cecil Rhodes
who said (wrote)that...
“”“ Africa is still lying ready for us,It is our duty to take it ,It is our duty to seize every oppotunity of acquiring more territories and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simple means more of the Anglo-- Saxon Race ,more of the best,the most human,most honorable race the world possesses. ””
The total number of Kikuyu, and explicitly Mau Mau deaths attributable to the Emergency is disputed.
Caroline Elkins claims ‘tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands’. Her estimate has been challanged by Blacker who demonstrated that Elkins' numbers were gross over-estimates, explaining that 300,000 deaths implies that half of the adult male population would have been wiped out—yet the censuses of 1962 and 1969 show no evidence of this—the age-sex demographic pyramids for the Kikuyu districts do not even show indentations.
His study dealt directly with Elkins' claim that “somewhere between 130,000 and 300,000 Kikuyu are unaccounted for” at the 1962 census.
Half of Blacker's own estimate of 50,000 comprises children under the age of ten – child mortality is still common in the region today, but was much reduced during this colonial period through the DDT malaria control programme.
25,000 children is a recurrent mortality – replicable even today across much of Africa;
25,000 ‘lost’ adults represents people who prefer not to be found and recorded – remember these were ‘troubled times’.
Carruthers of Rutgers University (who noted that Elkins had managed to confuse the Hutu and the Tutsi in Rwanda!), said
'Elkins proves the least reliable guide to African history.... this was NOT genocide; history is not well served by its sloppy invocation'.
The British likely killed in excess of 20,000 Mau Mau insurgents in what was, until recently in Iraq, the most vicious ‘Dirty War’ that the British have encountered.
KONY is a War Criminal yet @8 consiers him to be a theologian.
See what happens when you change the script!
I am all for freedom of religion but that is streatching the limits. I guess your indoctrination is purely concentrated on The Falkland Islands to the detriment of a universal education.
Mau Mau militants were guilty of numerous atrocities. The most notorious was their attack on the settlement of Lari, on the night of 25–26 March 1953, in which they herded Kikuyu men, women and children into huts and set fire to them, hacking down with pangas anyone who attempted escape, before throwing them back in to the burning huts.[172] The attack at Lari was so extreme that “African policemen who saw the bodies of the victims . . . were physically sick and said 'These people are animals. If I see one now I shall shoot with the greatest eagerness'”,[91] and it ”even shocked many Mau Mau supporters, some of whom would subsequently try to excuse the attack as 'a mistake
“During two years' detention he was subjected to horrific violence, according to the story's authors, Ben Macintyre and Paul Orengoh. Tortures inflicted on Kenyan prisoners sometimes involved such barbaric implements as ”castration pliers”.

and what, dare I ask, has Argentina done to help stop the flow of global Terrorism? What deed has the people / armed forces of Argentina done that is worthy of a note in history to stop the spread of Islamic Terrorists?
Don't bother to reply....... We already know the answer
Hang on a minute ... acouple of threads ago you were gleefully informing us about Argentinians pouring boiling oil on people. No moral high ground for you.
And it depends upon which 'side' you are on as to whether a particular act is a justified pacification or a terrorist outrage.
Sometimes the situation is so imbalanced that the good guys and bad guys are obvious to all - this is the world-view of the Falkland Islands short war a generation ago.
Re-writing histories is an inevitable part of the after-years of war;
what we are seeing is the fogging of history by CFK and her propaganda machine.
It is difficult because the memories of the reality are still alive and well, and widespread around the world.
She may see this as her truely-believed view of her Argentinian perspective, or she may be consciously manipulating something she knows to be wrong for entirely personal-political reasons.
In either case, she is wanting to take the Argintinian people with her - to keep her in power and, perhaps, to put the country on a de facto war footing where the best practices of peacetime macroeconomics can be set aside.
This latter needs a delicate touch, because it may actually result in a heavy-shooting-war involving Buenos Aires state territory and terrorist acts on the British mainland.
This is definitely not in the interests of either people.
With or without a war, Argentina is set for another period of military rule; either outright Military Junta or Puppet Peronistas.
The national income will - as always - be powerfully siphoned away from the Argentinian common man.
Have you ever heard the word of “” Lily Pad “” ?
this word in US Military Jargon referred as “” Co operative Security Locations -- CSL s“”
The report list countries with “” lily pads“” as Algeria,Botswana,Gabon,Ghana,Kenya,Mali,Namibia,Sao Tome,Sierra Leone,Tunisia,Uganda,Zambia.
US also has access to military locations in almost all parts of Africa.
US uses military facilities in Kenya for its “” anti terrorism campaign“”in the horn of Africa.
Well known that US also has military ties with Kenya and Uganda in East Africa,CJTF-HOA also list Burundi,Chad,Comoros,DRC listed Madagascar,Mauritius,Mozabbique,Rwanda,Tanzania,Uganda and Yemen as “” areas of interests“”.
I did find Idlehands responses above to your posts highly amusing.
we should be very careful when using the “” grey “” word for these strategical subjects to inform our poster mates here.
FOR EXAMPLE
Africa is the only “” grey “” area in the US's global military sphere of influence, the meaning of this ;
US has
USNORTHCOM : US North Command
USEUCOM : US - EU Command
USSOUTHCOM : US - South America Command
USCENTCOM : US Central Command
USPACOM : US Pasific Command
These permenant and fully operational commands cover every region of the world except for Africa.( !!!!!!!)
USAFRICOM : United States Africa Command
USCENTCOM : United States Central Command
USEUCOM : United States European Command
USNORTHCOM ; United States Northern Command
USPACOM : United States Pacific Command
USSOUTHCOM : United States Southern Command
USSOCOM : United States Special Operations Command
USSTRATCOM : United States Strategic Command
USTRANSCOM : United States Transportation Command
Be grateful. This took hours of research. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Combatant_Command
Pity you couldn't copy it all!
The last three ...COM was reshaped in the past few years.
There is no USAFRICOM..Africa Zone extremely connected with USEUCOM in partial operations influences right now.
Grey is not owned by the USA.
Its shades are not owned by the USA.
Grey is the ambiguity of the world we live in,
and though we all see grey we see it through different shades.
Does this mean, that Argentina now runs the world, and all 199 colony’s are part of the argentine world empire,
And we all must ratify this thing or be severely punished,,
Am I dreaming or did I miss something whilst at sea last night.
Are the nutters really in charge now then ?/
.
Kind of hilarious and sad at the same time.
I wonder what the UK government will do with it's copy? Forward it on to the FIG for approval?
No mate, I'm not on drugs
I nor am I a “Kelper” ( whatever one of those is.......... )
But I do notice that you have not yet answered my question.............. I'm still waiting for an answer, Alas I think that satan shall be skating to work before I get a sensible answer from you.
@58 what happened to your good manners, Malvinist? Cool it down a little, you're writing like a mad man :P
I think it was me he was referring to as the Kelper. Argentinians use this a term of insult for Falkland Islanders, not having yet grasped that it means very little to us.
Don't know why, but Kelper makes me think of someone working in a high-end facial mask boutique in Chelsea.
Chelsea?? Now that makes me think of fake tans, chilren called “Chardonnay” or the even more up-market “Shardonnay”, white high heels, and the “Chelsea facelift” hair-do..........(shudder )
Others around Cristina Kirchner that are also crooks are her vice-president, Amado Boudou, he is actually an owner of the company that prints money for the government in Argentina, a major conflict of interest, but he denies it, he owns the company in the names of other friends and associates. He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.

Your writ doesn't run in these lslands you ratbags, so sling yer 'ook.
Pillocks.
Still the AGs are out in space!
They must be removed from these islands, which belong to Argentina even before Argentina exist, it was taken from them. This and also by grace of God and Papal Bull of 1496!
In 1982 we have a much more macho government than today, we had a man in charge and no ordinary man, he was a General, from Italy, same country my grandparents came from, fleeing from British and American Imperialists after WW2 (it would take several generations and Berlusconi to put right what they did to Italy).
General Galtieri did not take no for an answer, he sent a great military force with special forces under command of our counter terrorist officers like Captain Alfredo Astiz, who is now in prison and should be freed!
These were the men who removed 50,000 left wing terrorists from our streets and delivered them into the Atlantic. We are proud that they had the guts to do what was necessary.
But today I listen to the BBC and it seems there are more left wing in our nation. I am in The Bahamas at the moment working in hotel so out of touch with my country. It seems all the strong people leave and only weak left remain.
But still there are veterans prepared to attack the police for medals for Malvinas War as they protected Patagonia from a British invasion, they deserve these medals, Police should not keep them from them.
Pirates and Anglos i hate all of you. Even here in the Bahama, have to put up with your Royal family, Prince Harry and the descendants of your Caribbean pirates some of which now Mullatos but others prefer stay white. I myself do not like. Or the children of British colonial pirates!
