For consular purposes Uruguay considers Malvinas as the “dependent territory” of the Islas Falklands
For consular purposes the Uruguayan Foreign Affairs ministry refers to the Malvinas Islands, which are claimed by Argentina with the support of Mercosur members, as the “dependent territory” of the “Islas Falklands”.
This according to an official document, dated 12 June 2012 in which the ministry of Foreign affairs modifies consular jurisdictions to better accommodate them to the needs of Uruguayan residents overseas.
A copy of the text was published by a Montevideo newspaper in which it refers to the Islas Falklands as “dependent territories” and since Uruguay has no consular office in Stanley (it did have for many decades), all matters must be referred to the embassy in London.
The same applies for South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, over which Argentina also claims sovereignty. All matters must be referred to the London embassy.
“The established jurisdictions will not be used as an argument to deny consular services to whoever requests them. When national and international rules impede rendering the service, the consular staff that receives the request must extreme efforts to orient and help requesters and put them in contact with the competent office” reads the decree.
Since Uruguay does not have representatives in all countries, affairs in Algeria for example are supervised from the embassy in Paris and Iraq comes under the jurisdiction of the embassy in Saudi Arabia.
In South America, Uruguay has embassies in all countries with the exception of Guyana and Suriname and these two countries are the jurisdiction of the embassy in Costa Rica.
At the last December Mercosur summit in Montevideo President Jose Mujica was one of the sponsors of regional ports’ ban for all vessels flying the “illegal” Falklands flag, an initiative supported by all members and later made extensive to the rest of South American countries. However Mujica said Uruguay would not accompany any measure that infringes in the Islanders human rights.

1947 - Uruguay and Britain sign an agreement for flights between the Islands and Montevideo
1952 - October 21 st , Argentina protests at Uruguay's appointment of a consular agent and also complains about anagreement for an air link to the Falklands. Uruguay's Government point out that the vice-consul was appointedin 1924 and the agreement signed in 1947.
October 28th, in protest, Argentina bans her shipping from calling at Uruguay's ports.

The Uruguayan error lies in not refering to the islands correctly, as stated in a disposition by the United Nation’s Secretariat, which in 1966 set that when addressing the islands in official documents, they are to be called “Malvinas,” when they are in Spanish, and “Falkland” when they are in English. '
So.... why does the BA Herald, an english language publication, call them the maldives all the time?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dOqouGS0xQ
The correct name in Spanish is Islas Falklands....and no other.
If, in a supposed situation that the islands become Argentines, the correct name in English would be Malvinas Islands......(dream, boy.....dream).

It only applies to UN documents. Anyone else can refer to the Falklands by whatever name they want. I don't complain when Argentines talk about Londres and I certainly don't care if they want to call the Falklands Las Malvinas. The fact is the official name for the islands is “The Falkland Islands”.
Thats Cristina's position too!
Is it hell the La Plata whore's position. It may very well be her claimed position for propagandist consumption, but only the most gullible imbecile on the planet could fail to see that her position is very far from that.
CFK does not give a toss for the human rights of Falkland Islanders or the well being of the citizens of these Islands. She cares only about her own self image.
I have yet to see any of the sabre rattling turn into anything to bother about in any practical way.
Remember the ban on the UYU Central Bank: seen the latest figures? Even more USD from Argentie buysinesses who deal with Uruguay. They prefer to leave their legally traded money here than take it across the Plate.
I wonder who would have thought that!
I see AFIP has started to ask for even more personal spending info, it is quite draconian and super scary.
I just don't understand the apathy...

The politcal power and autonomy they currently enjoy is superior in everyway to the current politcal situation in Argentina.
They need a Pinochet.
According to Uruguayan Forign Office “Falklands” is a mistake. It doesn´t exist.
And reaffirms: There´s no doubt regarding the support of Uruguay to Argentine sovereign rights over the islands and its denomination (Malvinas no Falklands).
Just a mistake... shit happens.
Yea I agree just a mistake. A little bit embarssing though isnt it. It also exposes the heavy handed bullying tactics the CFK administration uses when its neigbours and friends make a simple mistake. similar to then they spat their dummy out when Uruguay was looking to develope an airlink as well as business oppurtunties in the Islands.
I agree on a political level they supprot Argentina but they have stated they have no intrested in impoisng a blockade of the population and have recently sponsered visits from uruguian buisness leaders to look at ways of developing friendly buisness oppurtunities.
What they say diplomaticaly to appease an agressive naeigbour and what there actions show seem to be very different. Exacly the same situation way as Chile who state their support for Argentina on a dipolmatic level of continue to offer and devlope practical everyday support for the islanders. The UK foreign and commonwealth office fully understand these countires istuation which is why they stick to diplomatic channels rather than crying and screaming in public.
I wonder who they might need help defending themselves against??????
www.elpais.com.uy/120816/pnacio-658022/nacional/uruguay-y-ee-uu-actualizaran-acuerdo-militar/
@17 Mostly it happens in argieland!
Indeed. And let us not forget Brazil's long-standing and recently renewed defence and military cooperation agreement with the UK. I wonder who they feel threatened by? :)
and pure jelousy,.
Assuming that you mean Uruguay, the Falkland Islands are nowhere near the River Plate-so that's not your side of the Atlantic. The Falkland Islands have their own part of the South Atlantic, and Argentina and Uruguay have theirs.
“one thing the vast majority of our nation shares with Argentina, is the dislike of British presence in our side of the atlantic”
Sorry Guzz.
You may dislike the British, but as a Briton I have never had anyone in Uruguay say that they dislike us, including the Argentineans who live in Uruguay all the year round and I count among my friends.
Perhaps you should consider changing the circle you move in and get into other areas of society as you risk sounding a little off-message.
Damn straight.

Just to be clear on this one, from the address you periodically post you seem to be suggesting that you reported Tintagel Castle to the US Department of Justice.
Tintagel Castle?
THE Tintagel Castle?
The Castle looked after by English Heritage and described on their website as a “Spectacular location on one of Britain's most dramatic coastlines. Tintagel is an awe inspiring and romantic spot”?
That Tintagel Castle?
And what exactly did the DoJ say once you’d reported this historic British landmark for its continuing threats? I'd imagine the word 'twat' came up a few times.
Even squatters get the title after 7 yrs in Argentina...right? Sometime less than that if it is a factory stolen by the workers.
or is this anti british delusion, just clouding your mind,
you sound like the pirate hunter,
I'm talking about British military, are your eyes failing you?
Who wants to get closer to the rubbish bloody english people?
Only Isolde, of course...hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I also hear the FTA is getting dusted off I would expect to hear some announcements after our Prez elections...
It would be great to have an Air Base in Paraguay and a Navy base in Uruguay. So nice....
How and why, in Gods name, did US immigration allow a remedial gypsy like you, access into their country. No doubt you have contaminated their populous with your offspring and thus spawned a legacy of more ignorant remedial gypsies.
Do yourself a favour, piss off back to Argentina, if you think life is better down there.
I travel to Argentina when I feel like it. No ones tell me what to do!
the spray has to go out,
so they say.
Then in the bedroom for some good old British love... That should see you right, and you would thank him for it too because you would have experienced what it's like to have a real man “take care” of you. Lol!
I think you'll find that it's the Welsh who shag sheep. Please, if you are going to insult someone, get it right.....
37 SussieUS
Smoke another tampax and have another drink you crazy b*tch!
If the Argentines make the South Atlantic a military free zone then the UK forces would be able to withdraw.
As Argentina cannot be trusted, the UK has to defend the Falkland Islands with .................4 aircraft.
If you want the UK military out tell your friends to drop their illegal claim on the Falkland Islands.
As the military in the Falkland Islands are a defensive force, they are no threat to Uruguay, which is at least 1000 miles from the Falkland Islands.
So you can sleep safe in your bed.
Hahaha... I am presently residing in Tempe, Arizona USA. I am an american citizen. Arpaio is presently in Federal Court defending himself from accussations made by the US Department of Justice for harrasing mexican americans. Arpaio, 8o years old, could serve federal prison if is found guilty. He is not the best man in Arizona to keep employed as Sheriff.
@43
Who is this idiot?
@44
Get lost!
“who is this idiot”. I think this is the perfect case of the pot calling the kettle black. It is YOU Sussie that is the idiot with your nonsense retorts.
I am still baffled as to which attribute got you US citezenship.
I don't think pole dancing or porn films count... do they ?
LOL, how comical that would be.
That is actually true, Vasquez did ask Bush for military aid vs Argentina. That was also the end of his political career... The FTA is something you and only you hear about, modt probably at night and when the light is out. Try talking to a professional about it...
Pete
Don't worry for my sleep, your sheepshaggers are not scaring anyone, they are more so a threat to the ecosystem...
I doubt that 3000 islanders are a threat to the ecosyste, especialy as they run their fisheries better than anyone else except for the Faroe islands.
Now Argentina with its c0pious use of chemical sprays and fertilisers that make its Lemons, wine, etc dangerous...................
As they are not a threat to you, I'm glad to see that you wish them to remain.
In their country. No one elses, heh heh......
Still not talking about the islanders
The British Military are there to protect the islanders.
Just on Monday Argentina's Minister of Defence stood in front of one of their brand new fighter jets and said “[The British Military] is the only element that upholds the usurpation of that part of our national territory”.
Think about that for a second. If the British Military left tomorrow, the Islanders would still be there, as would their government and institutions. So how is the British Military the 'only element' that keeps the islands out of Argentina's hands? Once again, he said this in front of an Argentine fighter jet.
I want the British Military to leave the islands, but this can only happen when Argentina formally recognises the Islanders' fundamental human rights.
You are a blithering idiot Soozy bumfluff.
Wonder what you'd be like when you're drunk?
You're not American, you're not even Argentine.
You are jest a plumb crazy woman.
But keep it up..................its entertaining!
agreed
Oh! he is the one with a drink problem!
wonders never .lol.
Your insults , indoctrinated,
And malvino , has escaped to juba the hut .
.
you on the other hand are not,
in time you go!!!! go home (in england.... lol: they named: 1º KELPER... and now: BENNY....hahahah)
We both said that we wouldn't talk to stupid SussieUS anymore, & here we are doing it!
She/he/it is just as stupid as ever & now its got its younger brother, JUBA in on the act.
They are both morons, not in Think's league at all!(are you listening, O Turnip-in-Chief?).
So, insult away, Soozymoron, l will not read anything that you post.
JUBA,
Get stuffed!
Who the hell is JUBA? whoever he/she/ it is, It's not making any sense at all.
he/she/it hasn't got the hang of this insulting thing either........ oh well
ones a perverted brit stalker, who is so desperate, it uses insults to get the hard on,
and the other is mearly its crossdresing friend.
both are as, but we wont say.lol.
@48 What's the matter, TiT? Couldn't you find the right article? And where's the “sovereignty”? The location of a “diplomatic mission” is a matter of “privilege”. Within the gift of the host country.
@52 You got something wrong there. Argentina's Minister of Defence, Putrid Jelly, stood in front of one of their brand new Corgi toys and said “[The British Military] is the only element that upholds the usurpation of that part of our national territory”. But it is kind of the argies to provide “Typhoon targets.”
@72 As far as I can make out, Juba is in South Sudan.
Translates into and from an old Egyptian word for toilet,
And when one was desperate, [juba] i.e., [juba-lent] to find one [working]
You get the point. Has not changes over the centuries lol.
You guys don't have any business posting in this web page.
MercoPress should be in spanish language.

Can you hear an annoying whinning sound? It seemed to be coming from over ( 84 SussieUS ) there...............
I thought it was just me but it happens randomly on some of these threads.................. very strange.....
I can smell your cunt.
Fair enough. If Argentina want to drill themselves into the ground and go downhill further, that is their democratic choice.
But CFK has doomed any chances of Argentina making money out of the Falkland Islands.
Whereas Chile are more astute.
The Chileans are idiots!
My name is Susana Brown, Sussie in my country USA and Susanita in my country Argentina.
My maiden name is italian.
Who are you?
I would like to know your real name, address and phone. You are not scare, are you?
Looks like you are in there.
I think the two of you deserve each other. :o)
back in the real and polite bit of the world.

looks nice,
I have no interest in arguing with you, and especially not in a forum like this.
You are free to post your opinions, but know I will respond to them should you post crap that says nothing about anything else than your persona. You act kust like they want you to, then they use your actions to point their pointy fingers at the rest of us.
Scussie is a liar, she is posting from B.A.
Your logic makes sense only to you...
Literally, you are in the same league as Sussie. Ideologically, you are not even playing. Look somewhere else for confirmation
I think you get it, but I have to know to make sure,
confirmation of what?
Just to make sure certain terms are not lost in translation.
Sussie is merely an amusement, as is Troll and BK, winding them up is no different than torturing a spider in a toilet bowl, and before you get all high and mighty you are just as guilty as anyone. How many comments have you made on this forum just to provoke a reaction for your own amusement?
Come on!....You are nothing more than imbecil daring to say:
“specially not in a forum like this”.....
Hey, you are nothing more than a wimp
The rubbish bloody english people started to insult my argentine president from the Penguin News to this web page.
Pay attention. I don't have nothing to hide.
I have release my name, address and phone numbers from my residences.
That's how the USA citizens introduce to anyone who wants to express publicly their opinions.
The fact that I keep insulting the british is because they started, so now they are suffering the consequences such as to accept the fact that the biggest female english crook is Fergie Ferguson and the british banks!
Who is Fergie Ferguson ?
An english slut married for about 5 years to Prince Andrew.
Last year, Fergie Ferguson while in NY, she agreed to have a meeting with someone who offered her demands in receiving USA $700,000 for exchanging Prince Andrew private information about his personal life.
The news were publized by most of the UK and USA newspapers which was another “royal scandals”.
Fergie Ferguson got caught and then she became defensive publicly stating she was just “drank”.
an argentine slut.......
not nice is it.
Why do you want my phone number?
I agree with you most of the lot are abusive, poly-moralled and some plain dumb. But there is no need to copy them, as you wont ever best them at that game. They are naturals. You are better, are you not?
Isn't Fergie's step-father Argentine? Hector Barrantes? I guess we know where she learned all her evil tricks!!!!!
My maiden name is italian.................
so your real name then is susana italian.
and you were born in italy.?
He has (allegedly) been paid a 6 figure sum to do this and been granted immunity from prosecution.”
This is the latest conspiracy theory.
I'm posting it on every thread just to annoy Guzz. :0D
By the way, Falklands will never be Argentine!
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!
My parents were born in Italy, my nationalities are US American and Argentinian.
Now go to sleep stupid child!
or was half of you born in the USA, then the other half held on untill you arrived in argentina,
reply please .
Is it so that they can do a runner to the despised USA or Europe if things go “tits up” at home ?
Surely one nationality is enough for anybody.
Oh! You like to descredit me no matter what!
I have italian blood from my italian parents and born in Argentina... was that difficult to understand?
I just finish telling Argie who I am, when I become an american citizen, etc.etc.
By the way, Captain Poppy has started the same campaign challenging my legal status in the USA. I gave him my address in Tempe, Arizona if he is serious about what he is saying.
Captain Poppy has 30 days to reply in COURT, same time, I gave you, remember?
What happens to you, did you change your mind?
but now we know you were born in argentina,
and that makes you argentine,
simple was it not,
that did not hurt you did it,
as for gay, when will you ever learn, nothing wring in being gay and happy,
mind you my husband thought it was very funny,
lol.
You're becoming an expert at Soozybaiting! LOL
so, he/she is the game practice by the UK team
