Oct 14th, 2010 - 08:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Which in light of Argentina's desire to colonise the Falkland islands is a little strange !
In think the C-24 was recently described as an 'out-of-date' committee :-)
“a tour of the Beagle Channel all the way to the Chilean side which is promoted by Argentina as an example of peaceful resolution of conflicts.”
Oct 14th, 2010 - 08:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0All the way to the middle maybe.....
an example of peaceful resolution of a conflict brought on by Argentina wanting to steal - by force of arms - another nation's territory.
Q. What do you say to an Argentinian with two black eyes?
A. Not much you can say, they've already been told twice.......

The Beagle blue predated the Falklands war by about 3 years... so having been put back in their box by a country with half their population they thought they would try their luck at getting stuck into a country with fewer people in it than you would find on a BA train in rush hour.....

Oct 14th, 2010 - 10:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well ... for the time being any way, but maybe change is afoot :-)
From last week's consideration of Fourth Committee Resolutions -
“ the representative of the United Kingdom said it found much of the language unacceptable. The text failed to recognize the progress that the United Kingdom had achieved in its relationship with its overseas territories, which was now a modern one. He expressed support for the move to independence, where that was an option and if it was the clearly expressed wish of the people concerned. He stressed that none of the United Kingdom’s overseas territories should remain on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories .....”
More than one way to skin a cat methinks :-))

How so little has so much arrogance he? can you pass me the formula?
Argentina is now a land of imported & misplaced people who do not by ANY means belong to South America. They are rude, arrogant, corrupt and racist to say the least. The original and largely extinct Argentinians were the original people of that land . It is now a country of immigrants who have no connection to the South American continent and should be deported back to where they came from.

And you forgot crazies, cruel, pretty dangerous (especially in fights and wars) and to be feared when pissed of.
And we don’t say we belong to South America else part of South America from Brasil’s and Paraguay’s borders and Andes to Antarctic and all in the sea and surrender area in the air, floating and under water to hell belongs to us.
“and should be deported back to where they came from”
But before you will have to have the guts to try an offer that I gave to you and already you have rejected even to try in UK territory.
Do you prefer Germany, Italy, Spain or may be US where you can apply UKI special relationship and ask the help of a couple of yanks to assist you in your try?
Haha you are a joke Sticky have you noted that?
Come on Sticky confess it you don’t have even drop of British blood in your body.
Even the most coward Brit in the world would accepted the challenge for pride and a free trip to Buenos Aires.
I cannot take you seriously, You cannot deport a cat from your house.
I seem to have hit a nerve :-)

They have invited the C-24 to the Falkland Islands but Argentina objects.

”By other terms of the draft resolution, the Assembly would acknowledging the special and particular colonial situation of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), which differed from others in light of the sovereignty dispute”
This is getting so boring. There're so many big problems in this country and President Cristina Kirchner is blah blah blah Malvinas blah blah blah the pirates blah blah blah the Queen blah blah blah Shut it! Let the people in the Islands live in peace you moron!
Oct 15th, 2010 - 07:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0What did those people do to you? Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is the example of what one becomes when is filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity... -Romans 1:29-
My President is bipolar and she needs help. She's such a bad joke, that's why her husband's got that crazy look.
Marcos, the Argentine rep always comes out with that, but offers no reference or evidence to support the bland statement. The Fourth Committee has in fact never acknowledged, the 'special and colonial situation' .... that rubbish only comes up in the C-24. Indeed the Fourth Committee lets everyone have their say and then continues to ignore the Falkland islands completely. And that was the case even when Argentina chaired the Fourth Committee.
Oct 15th, 2010 - 07:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0The General Assembly have acknowledged nothing either, as no Resolution has been presented to them by the Fourth Committee since 1988 !
