stick up your junta
And Britain abstained................

Following the Argie lead?

Speaking after action on the text, Mr. ARGUELLO (Argentina) noted that, at the time of the draft’s adoption by the Human Rights Council, Argentina had regretted that it had had to abstain, despite its clear political will in support of the recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples. Argentina had also expressed its disappointment at not having more time to work on making the references to self-determination compatible with the principle of territorial integrity, with national unity and the other organizational structure of each State. Fortunately, the efforts undertaken to resolve the question without affecting the rights contained in the Declaration had been successful. Thanks to those efforts, Argentina was pleased to join the voting in favour of the Declaration.
