Falklands' defense: Argentina formalizes complaint to UN and regional groups

Tuesday, March 31st 2015 - 08:52 UTC
Full article 59 comments

Argentina dispatched on Monday complaint letters to several international and regional organizations accusing the United Kingdom of further militarizing the Falklands/Malvinas, with an increased budget, alleging Argentina represents a 'live threat' to the Islanders in the British Overseas Territory and thus ignoring tens of resolutions calling for dialogue between the two sides on the Falklands issue.

    here we go for a repeat of Twitman a couple of years ago at the Un:
    Look - at these military command and control centres all over the hilltops in the islands!
    Er- those are mobile telephone repeater masts.

    Well look at that long range secret army radar then! - Er that is a joint Canadian and British Ant Survey Ionosphereic research signal system

    Well look at that hunterkiller submarine base then! - Er that is not a hunterKiller sub - that is an ICBM Sub and that one has been laid up in Faslane for months in refit!

    Oh - sorry - I am an Argentine- I was just showing the world that therefore I am also a total Arsehole!

    Let us ask ourselves which of the organisations that Timprat has written to the UK gives a toss about. Secretary General of the United Nations - Don't think so. The Sec Gen relies on the support of member states. The UK is a permanent member of the Security Council. It relies on itself. Secretary General of the UN C24 Committee. Nope. None of their business. OAS Secretary General. Nope. None of their business. Unasur secretary general. Joke. Uruguayan foreign ministry since the country holds the chair of South Atlantic permanent peace and cooperation zone. Another joke. Ecuador's foreign ministry since the country is the pro-tempore chair of CELAC. Do we talk to Ecuador while it obstructs British justice? Brazil's foreign ministry because Brasilia is currently chair of Mercosur. Joke. South African representative before UN since that country holds the chair of the Group of 77 plus China. None of its business.

    Selected by throwing darts at a board?

    Now let's think it through. Who lasted attacked, invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands? Has argieland ever apologised? Has argieland ever paid reparations? Is argieland paying for the mine clearance? Who is conducting an economic war against the Falkland Islands? Who is continuing to make totally illegitimate and unfounded claims? Who's in breach of how many UN Charter Articles? Plus various provisions of international law? But it's nice to see that the UK is no longer a 'colonial power'.

    The UK has a primary obligation to protect its citizens. There are no binding UN resolutions that say otherwise. The Falkland Islanders come first!

    “...the Argentine position which supports dialogue and negotiations...”

    Remind me again.. who was it walked out of a negotiation when it turned out that representatives of the legitimate inhabitants of the Falkland Islands would be present to represent their interests, since those interests *must* be taken into account according to the relevant Resolutions?

    “...complying with International law,..”

    Which is why Argentina illegally invaded British sovereign territory, subjugated the inhabitants and planned to murder any who objected to their ill-treatment.

    Which is why, when ordered out by a *binding* resolution, Argentina refused, only leaving when Britain recovered their stolen property.

    Which is why Argentinian minefields are still to be cleared over 30 years later.

    “which must prevail to overcome international controversies and to put an end to this anachronic colonial situation ongoing for over 182 years.”

    Simple solution. Argentina acknowledges - in front of the whole UN Assembly - the facts of the matter: that their claim is false, and they've wasted several decades lying to the UN and associated assemblies.

    Argentina then apologises unreservedly for the wrongs it committed on the legitimate inhabitants of the Falkland Islands, and removes all of their objections to the confirmation of the decolonisation of the Islands.

    There. Colonial situation over, Falklands in the hands of the rightful holders of sovereignty, attempted usurpers finally ending their rhetoric.

    Quick, simple and above all else, completely fair and equitable to all parties.

    Again you are wrong! The Falkland Islands is a self governing British Overseas Territory with a democratically elected legislative assembly and they are well qualified to speak for themselves. As you well know, when Timerman was in London a couple of years ago he even refused to speak to the British Foreign Minister because he was accompanied by representatives from the British territory in the South Atlantic - otro cobarde argentino! - como si estos fueran leprosos!

    Please be assured that the United Kingdom no longer maintains any colonies - BY ANY INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD!

    If it was almost any other country making a formal complaint to the UN about Almost anything else it'd be an eye opener or at least an eyebrow raiser.

    But it's Argentina. Making a formal complaint about the defence of the Falkland Islands. Who they invaded in 1982. Who they say they will invade again if they get half a chance. And are planning their own increase in defence spending and modernisation. Complaining about another sovereign nation making their own defence spending plans. In the face of a clear and present threat.

    And they think this is normal behaviour.

    “The Argentine position which supports dialogue and negotiations and complying with International law”

    This translates to...

    Argentina demands the United Kingdom negotiate the human rights of the Falkland Islanders without their consent or consultation to Argentina so they can impose their political, economic, cultural and social will over a population that rejects them.

    Anyone of an impartial view, who reads that tirade, is going to understand why the British maintain their defences.

    “Unnecessary and unjustified tension in the South Atlantic”.

    From the country that imposes an economic blockade, harasses fishing vessels, uses insulting and abusive language when referring to both the Islanders and the British.

    And who’s military continues to mount incursions and encroachments into British sovereign territory, whenever they can.

    And continues a war of lies in every international forum that it can.

    “Resolution 2065” which says:
    “Bearing in mind the principles and objectives laid out in the UN charter and UN resolution 1514”.

    If you read those documents you will find the objective is self-government and the principle is self-determination.

    He seems to think the rest of the world don’t know what is in the resolutions they voted for.

    Look them up Hector, they are on the UN website. Like the rest of the computer connected world can and does, if in doubt.

    The world can see who is the threat here, and it’s not the tiny population of Islanders or the British.

    Hello my friend, thanks for the mention. It's simply that time of the year again. The Argentine equivalent to that time of the month. I'm sure there'll be a few more little stunts later this week and over the weekend to remember the anniversary of the Argentine Government's illegal invasion of our soil. An invasion they thought would be unopposed. An invasion they thought would be easy. An invasion they thought would make them heroes.

    Unfortunately for them they went home with bloody noses (the ones who went home that is) and these days get wheeled out at demonstrations by Crisis Fernandez de Kirchner and when she's finished with them for the day she gets the police to clear them out of her way. That's some way to treat your war heroes.

    Take care my friend.

    @27:
    ”Taking the matter to international organizations is for Argentina the civilized way of claiming the Malvinas (Falkland) islands.“

    The only international organization qualified to rule on sovereignty claims is the ICJ. Argentina has refused ICJ arbitration several times, likely because they cannot prove their claim.

    There is very little else that can be called civilised about Argentina's conduct regarding the Falklands.

    Slandering the legitimate inhabitants as ”pirates“ ”okupas“ and ”squatters” without a shred of evidence is not civilised.

    Using an international organization meant to guide NSGTs to self-determination and decolonisation and acknowledge the same(C24) as a bully pulpit to deny the legitimate inhabitants of the Falklands their rights is not civilised.

    Blocking the C24 from acknowledging the legitimate inhabitants progress towards self-detemination and decolonisation so you can falsely claim a colonial situation exists is not civilised.

    Using the C24 to complain about Britain spending money to improve the quality of life of the Falkland Islanders and ensure they can defend themselves from greedy neighbours (who have attempted to subjugate them in the past) is not civilised.

    All of these Argentina has done, it may not be disputed.

    If Argentina truly wanted to claim the Falkland Islands, it can take the case to the ICJ. Indeed, as they claim to be the aggrieved party, they *must* agree to ICJ arbitration before it can take place.

    That they have not shows their claim has no moral or legal merit, and is simply another extension of the Malvinas Lie.

    Oops! Wrong, foot in mouth again. Don't let your mind wander; it's far too small to be let out on its own.
    “Chile, Uruguay & Brazil will not blockade the Falklands
    ...We made clear that the decision to close ports to ships flying the Falklands flag has no legal basis, and that it would be unacceptable and unbecoming for any Latin American democracy to collaborate in Argentina’s attempts to economically blockade the Falkland Islands. We reiterated our strong support for the rights of the Islanders to determine their political future, and also made clear that any attempts to coerce them through economic or other pressures would be resisted by the British Government. Such actions are inconsistent with the principles of the United Nations Charter and the rights of the Falkland Islands people to trade openly and without hindrance.
    Whilst we do not accept that the decision to refuse entry to vessels flying the Falklands flag has any basis in international law, our priority has been to ensure that the trade and commercial links between the Falklands and South America are not compromised by this political declaration. We have had productive and honest discussions with Uruguay, Chile and Brazil. All three countries have said that they have no intention of participating in an economic blockade of the Falkland Islands and that all Falklands-related commercial shipping will continue to enjoy access to their ports, in accordance with domestic and international law, if they are flying the Red Ensign or another national flag when docked. .....”

    Also, if the Falklands become an Argentine territory, would we be required to have a CT scanner on the islands? Or a University? And what would become of our natural resources (fishing, oil etc)? Would we have a degree autonomy from the state (like Hong Kong)? Can you answer these adult questions Pauly?

    Now if Pauly can't answer this, is there at least ONE Argentine who will? I'm simply curious as Argentinians are always saying the Falklands are Argentine but I have never heard what Argentina's plans for the Islands are should they gain sovereignty.

    My Friends,

    As Mr Bloggs has so concisely pointed out, It is April again and so, to commemorate a war that they started and then lost AND to honour their dead on that military mis-adventure, the present members of the argentine government are falling over themselves to get humiliated and embarrassed once more on the world stage.

    You gotta hand it to them though ( a grenade with the pin out ) when they pick a lost cause, they REALLY do commit!!

    There are too many jokes, too many and not enough characters to do them real justice so I will only say this:-

    To Jo Bloggs:- Good to hear from you again old friend. Stay well and I hope that the family Bloggs is all present and correct.

    To Ilsen:- You take care!! watch out for them “others” won't you.

    BTW and please feel free to correct me on this but your name..... was it not Tom Hanks who had a friend called Ilsen in “Castaway”?

    I will leave you with a quote ( 'cos I like a good quote ) from A.A Milne when Christopher Robin had just been cured of the “Measles and Sneezles”:-

    They have ( allegedly plenty in the PUTA MUERTE shale area ) why on earth do they want FALKLAND OIL?

    “since it creates and unnecessary and unjustified tension in the South Atlantic, a zone characterized by its peace vocation free of nuclear arms.”

    What? Tension caused by the UK not having nuclear weapons in the Falklands?
    Typical Argentine arse about face logic.

    ”Given that both sides (Argentina and UK) have the obligation of finding a solution to the controversy (based on the UN and other organizations resolutions“

    Pity this dumbkopf doesn't read the resolutions-'With regard to the implementing Independence for colonial peoples”

    Guess the UK are promoting self government of the Islands more than the colonial aspirations of Argentina.

    With regard to the principles of the Un Charter-yes the UK is doing that too.

    Taking into account the interests of the population-yes, the UK is doing that too.

    Although 2065 was killed by the invasion in 1982, it appears that Argentina is breaking it, so they should stop whining.

    “To that respect the UK must sit at the negotiations table”

    Try looking up the meaning of 'Respectfully request.'

    All credit to Tinpot-the word demand has been dropped.

    “the only solution to all this shite is to ban the use of our airspace and the use of our ports to every airplane and ship that goes to or from the islets.”

    Not the only solution-another one would be for my getting a license to sell wine, sell shitloads of elderberry wine and stop buying that pisswater, Malbec.

    How very surprising that the Argentines should complain! I'm sure the UK government never reckoned on it. Now the Brits will have to back off and apologise. Haha.
