    Let's talk about Tuberculosis, Lepra and Chagas, these three gifts of nature on the rise in Argentina are thought to be one of the benefits of EL MODELO, another reason for the Falklanders to stay away from Argentina. If you're a tourist in Argentina, think twice. Cristina won't tell you this :)

    I think he has realised that all he believed was true has turned out to be a lie. He once claimed that Brazil has said they were not going to collaborate at all with the oil exploration in the FI (which they have continued to do). Why are those FI flagged vessels still in Uruguay, I thought they were banned?

    Islas - the UK gvt or FCO have received no actual request or requirement to negotiate soverignty of the Falkland Islands. The UN also stated that the peaceful solution should be in the best interests of the Falkland Islanders and in the 21st century it is the people invovled would have the right to say what is in their best interests. This is why you avoid taking any legal action.

    There is a peaceful solution. The Islanders have lived in peace since we liberated them from Argentine tyranny and don't want you crapping in their post office again.

    If Brazil supports you then why are they facilitating the movement of the Leiv Eriksson to the Falkland Islands? Stop talking and do something about it if you have the balls.

    You will never get the Falkland Islands so why not spend the time convincing CFK to adopt social policies the country can actually afford. Chavez may be telling her to get the oil money from the Falklands but that is unrealistic (like more of his ramblings - has the cancer reached his brain?) and since CFK has already raided (stolen) most of the available funds in the country, she needs another plan.

    That is the problem with her brand of 'socialism', you run out of other people's money to spend.

    “In the 21st century it is the people invovled would have the right to say what is in their best interests. This is why you avoid taking any legal action”. There are cases in which the ICJ decided there were no rights of self determination to be considered. In fact the UN never recognized the self determination of Malvinenses... but caracterized Malvinas as a particular colonial situation.

    You´re occupying argentine territory. If you didn´t want argentines around you, you should have stayed home.

    Brazil supports Argentina. I thought latest times made it cleat that it´s not only about rethorical support... ilegal Malvinas flag vessels are banned (don´t exist to Latinamerica) and British battleships are banned (not welcome). Leiv Eriksson is a scientific ship.

    Islas - the Leiv Eiriksson is a deep water drilling rig that has been contracted by FOGL and BOR to conduct exploratory drills for hydrocarbons in the South Falkland Basin. If Brazil supported you then why would they allow this rig to pass though Brazilian waters and use its facilities en-route. It is not a scientific vessel it is a commercial one bringing commercial benefit to the FI.

    A quick search of the ships currently docked in Montevideo shows me that the fishing vessel Jacqueline (FI flagged) is currently in port.

    I thought Brazil wouldn't collaborate with oil exploration in the FI and I thought FI flagged vessels were banned from Uruguay? Not according to this evidence.

    “There are cases in which the ICJ decided there were no rights of self determination”

    Perhaps you would like to point these out to us. In this day and age, every case wins in right to self determination.

    “we want take the dispute to the ICJ but without accepting any considerations prior 1974”

    That's also a complete fabrication. If it went to the ICJ everything would be discussed. However anything prior to today would be irrelevant. What happened 200 years ago does not allow a country to stomp on peoples human rights. Self Determination will always win.

    Self-determination will always win as evidenced by the ICJ's ruling on Kosovo.

    Islas has no argument and knows it.

    Argentina has only two options, legal or military and it has neither the capacity or willingness to take either option.

    The ships keep coming and going and the next rig gets closer every day; via Brazil!

    England will never accept the International Court of Justice because doing so will automatically recognize that there is a sovereignty dispute with Argentina.
    The International Court of Justice shall immediately send the proceedings of the Committee on decolonization conflict the United Nations, which is the most appropriate body for interpreting and understanding the concepts of colonization and imperialism, its historical contexts and social processes, and has already extensively studied and reviewed and compared the arguments of both Argentina and the UK finally failed and it is a sovereignty dispute. NO self-determination. Just note that in the Malvinas Question General Assembly of the United Nations included this doctrine - the principle of territorial integrity taking into account the interests and NOT the wishes of the population of the islands - in its resolution 2065 (XX ) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160, XXVIII) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37 / 9), 1983 (38/12), 1984 (39 / 6), 1985 (40/21) , 1986 (41/40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25). They all declare the existence of a sovereignty dispute by resolution 2065 (XX) Parties (Argentina and the United Kingdom).
    In addition, every year, the Committee of the United Nations decolonization finds a resolution applying the criteria of Resolution 2065 of 1965 and it clearly states that sovereignty dispute. NO self-determination
    The International Court of Justice is based on their judgments of the Decolonization Committee of the UN. Remember that the international court of justice and decolonization committee United Nations is supranational. Both have a lot of international prestige and complement each other.

    According to Wikipedia: Although the United Nations Committee on Decolonization includes the Falkland Islands on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories,[47] it has been asserted that the Falkland Islands is one of 16 territories which have too small a population, “to survive as viable, fully independent state.”

    The Falklands are about to become as wealthy as the Emirates with all the oil recently being found there. Once it amasses this large quantity of wealth, it can then stop being a “ Non-Self-Governing Territory” and become a sovereign and independent nation within the Commonwealth. It would be great to have a developed Commonwealth nation in South America, I bet you would see Brazilian, Uruguayan, Colombian, and Chilean governments rushing down there to sign free-trade agreements.

    Argentina is afraid of a popular referendum. A UN sanctioned vote on autonomy would end this debate once and for all. Self-determination is a human right, the UN Charter of Human Rights supports this. Only dictatorships seem to think it's ok to colonize a sovereign and free people and bully them into war.

    The principle of self-determination does not apply to the Question of the Malvinas Islands.

    The specificity of the Malvinas question is that the United Kingdom occupied the islands by force in 1833, expelled the original population and did not allow their return, thus violating the territorial integrity of Argentina. Is ruled out then the possibility of applying the principle of self determination, as its exercise by the Islanders would cause the “breach of national unity and territorial integrity” of Argentina. In this regard it should be noted that resolution 1514 (XV) “Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples” in the sixth paragraph states that “Any attempt aimed at partial or total disruption of national unity and territorial integrity a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter. ”In the Malvinas Question General Assembly of the United Nations included this doctrine - the principle of territorial integrity taking into account the interests and NOT the wishes of the people of the islands - in its resolution 2065 (XX) of 1965, ratified by later resolutions 1973 (3160, XXVIII) 1976 (31/49), 1982 (37 / 9), 1983 (38/12) , 1984 (39 / 6), 1985 (40/21), 1986 (41/40), 1987 (42/19) and 1988 (43/25). They all declare the existence of a sovereignty dispute and reaffirm resolution 2065 (XX) Parties (Argentina and the United Kingdom) ”to proceed without delay with the negotiations recommended by the Special Committee to review the situation, to find a peaceful solution to the problem, taking due account of the provisions and objectives of the UN Charter and Resolution 1514 (XV), and the interests of the people of the Falkland Islands. No desire. Since 2004 the Argentine government to the Malvinas Islands Question to appear on the permanent agenda and in the Bureau of the General Assembly.

    @15 Quite right! Argentina should grow up.

Its lips are moving. I use the pronoun advisedly. On the available evidence, the majority of Argentines are gay, queer homosexuals. Lots and lots of transexuals. Are you transexual, Marvin?

    @25 Here's a tip. Keep it up and become part of a minority. Live argies.

    @30 Here's a thought, dog's breath. Every year C24 gets nowhere. UN General Assembly resolutions are non-binding. Let's put it in terms you can understand. Argentina - “The man down at the newspaper kiosk said we were right! So I paid him for the newspaper I'd been reading for 20 minutes.” I accept that part of this analogy is ludicrous. The idea that argies can read, understand and reject government propaganda is beyond belief. Actually, the idea that argies can read is pushing it. Let's see, genocidal rebels against an imperialist colonialist regime who have become wannabe imperialist colonialists. In your psychotic dreams. Shall we give you some reasons why your “country” is a joke? Kirchner, Timerman, Arguello. AND YOU. You dozy, unintelligent, uneducated dipstick.

    If anything, the FI should be Uruguayan. The Spanish Captaincy of Montevideo was responsible for them prior to Uruguay's independence. But Uruguay has never claimed the islands, nor has she taught generations of citizens mantras of hatred as a way to construct a national identity. Argentines are usually individually charming and generous to immigrants, but the national character includes a bullying attitude, clearly shown throughout the nation's rfelatively short history in its relations with its neighbouring countries, massacres of native Americans, political violence and the illegal arrest, torture and execution of its own citizens. This aspect of Argentina's character is ingrained as a part of its identity, and will never change.

    @geo

    this is beyond strategic matters. The core conflicts occured in Europe. That the UK, along with France, Germany, and the Soviet Union, suffered from its effects, and more than would an outside player such as the US, was to be expected. Now, it's ridiculous to say that the country should've just stayed away from the conflict in order to save its forces. The UK was an important factor in the balance of power in Europe, and had it just ignored the war, then it wouldn't be unlikely that, say, the Soviet Union would have emerged as hegemon in most of Europe - under such a scenario, the UK's very safety would've been jeopardized. I don't really believe the UK had the option to ignore that war, and in engaging in it, it was expected that it would've been damaged badly. In this scenario - a prolonged, bloody war between the main powers - a new world hegemon always emerges, and such a hegemon is usually the great power that was least affected by that war. In this case, the US.

    In 1833 there was no Argentina so ergo no Argentine people, now there were people living were the Argentine is now, but the people that had gone to the Falklands were from what is now Uruguay,
    and most of them were Europeans, so please tell me if as we all know there was no Argentine or Argentine people at that time then how the hell did we kick argis of the Falklands when there was none to kick off in the first place. As for Argentina having the support of Uruguay Chile and Paraguay well as Sun Tzu said keep your friends close and your Enemies closer, so maybe it's time to watch your back.

    At least before WW2, the UK did have interests in mainland Europe, and many European countries - for example, Portugal - were well within British sphere of influence. And even if British had nothing to do in Europe, that doesn't mean that the emergence of a hegemon over that region - specially one such as the Soviet Union - wouldn't have raised security issues for the British. Just see the role the GB played in ending Napoleon's rule over the mainland.

    If you are FI inclined and want a safer play then RKH.

    VOG (gas focused in Cameroon and new licenses in Russia) should have upside in 2012 as they are cash generators as of now. I used to hold Afren and made a great profit before they lost a huge amount of the mkt cap. Listed on the main market and making money but things in Nigeria can turn so some risk, but a very ambitious company.

    So many comments so many myths
    But so many who suffer from amnesia,
    It does not matter who agrees with you, it’s the wider implications that count,
    The after effects, the ripple effect,
    Great Britain will defend the Falklands, as long as they wish to remain British, and there is nothing you or the world can do about it, unless you wish a conflict,
    The British government at this moment in time, is the only country that is stopping this from escalating into a violent conflicts,
    By sitting back and doing nothing, while just listening to the children play sabre rattles, is probably the best way to deal with it, until or unless Argentina either gets brave and takes her chances, or you find another friend who is willing to back you up militarily , then we have to except that you are of no danger, we both know nothing is impossible, but who will be the foolish one,
    ,, as said before sooner or later, CFK will make one mistake to often,
    When that day will come, we may never know, until it happens, but you are still running out of time,
    After 2015/6 it will never happen, you just cant understand the British can you,, why we will stand up to the world, over a few rock, and you children still have no clue,
    But if you were British, then you would fully understand ,
    And that is the difference, [you aren’t]
    As long as they wish to be British, we will defend them [out numbered][out gunned] or not,

    #51 made a comment about the US Navy in 1831:

    1831 ... English uses US warship to destroy the islands

    On the contrary, in 1823 the US State Department began the Monroe Doctrine, which stayed in place for the next 100 years. You can read more about it here:

    http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=23

    The British were really at a low ebb of influence over the Americans after the War of 1812. Perhaps our Argentine friends are unaware of it, but the British navy had been “pressing” (really kidnapping) American sailors into serving the British military. There were other naval matters in dispute regarding merchant trade shipments, slave boats, and illegal seizures of goods, suspected Irish rebels and ships. This resulted in a war, where the British burned down the White House. The war ended in a stalemate treaty, but 19 years later (1831) the Americans were still angry with the British.

    The Special Relationship began in the 20th century.

    Perhaps Timerman will experience Total Recall insofar as that Argentina's Congress ratified the 1850 Convention of Settlement which put an end to existing differences and restored perfect friendship between the Argentine Republic and Great Britain?

    @30: Raul, you have nonsensically posted the same comment more than 10 times. You are of course completely mistaken. UN Charter Article 73 and the Falkland Islanders right to self-determination prevails over any other agreement and the UN Decolonization Committee's remit is to report on Great Britain's implementation of resolution 1514(XV) for the Falkland Islanders to the UN General Assembly, no more, no less.

    The UN International Court of Evidence shall base it's judgement on the merits or lack thereof of the Argentine claim and require evidence to meet the legal standard of the burden of proof, not the perverse Argentine nationalist political standard of the benefit of assumption.

    As an aside to that, the British shall stand by the Falkland Islanders whatever the threat. I do not think the Brazilian Executive is impressed by Argentines who threaten that Brazil would intervene military on behalf of Argentine in the event of illegal Argentine aggression contrary to the UN Treaty. Brazil shall do no such thing because illegal intervention contrary to the UN Treaty shall never be in Brazil's national interest and as a member of the UN Security Council Brazil shall be obligated to uphold the UN Treaty.

    If Argentines think the British fear the Brazilians because of Argentine misplaced threats then Argentines are sorely mistaken. Brazil and Great Britain enjoy good mutual relations, share common values and political aspirations, provide privileged access to advanced defense technology and most favored nation trading status

    The dispute with Great Britain is entirely Argentina's affair, Brazil simply offers its friendly help and encouragement for equitable resolution

    History is politic, and the politicians from both sides, will always tell only what is convenient for them, but if you think that only our side omits some important facts respecting this cause, it's lamentable, because it means that you buy the partial information that your politicians want you to believe.
    In my case, i investigated, and i'll always do it, because i wont never buy none government official propaganda, like some of you do unfortunately.
    It's true that not all the population was expelled, in the same way that it's not true the fact that our claim was continuous, but the u. k. didn't have any right to force our authorities to leave the islands, beside in the statements by the councellours from the l. a, before the u. n, most them omit that in 1968, and in 1980 the british governments tried to persuade the islanders, in order to achieve that they accept to negotiate a solution for the sovereign dispute, and omit also that in 1985 the international comunity voted twice by a lanslide against the british proposal of including references about self determination for this cause, in my survey i have much more information about it, i can send it to any one.
    Anyway the debate for the malvinas-falkland cause can be reduced nor to the events of 1833, nor to the phrases, the malvinas are argentine, or the falklands are british and there is nothing to discuss, many things happeend since 1833, and we must understand that if none of the two countries proposes to take the question to the i. c. j it's due to both aren't sure that they can win the case, that's why the best that we can do, is to respect once and for all the resolutions, and resume the negotiations, like the u. n signalizes, beyond the hate that some of you feel for our government, we all must be more inteligent, and not buy the pathetic and partial propaganda that some times the politicians from both sides parrot.

    You are only people living on stolen land for a year, a hundred or a thousand, but stolen land. “what the islanders want ...” Who cares the wishes of the usurpers when usurpers didn't respect anything? what kind of claim of rights are respected when those rights are originated in a crime? you can give a lot of excuses to justify everything, but the facts are. good year

    According to a release from the Argentine Foreign Affairs ministry on 3 January 1833 the Falkland Islands were occupied by British forces which “dislodged the Argentine population and authorities legitimately established in the Islands, replacing them with subjects from the occupying power”.
    Argentina immediately protested the illegitimate act of force
    now that's the past out of the way, I would like to thank the Argentine government for all the help they are giving the Falklands, new and better air links new deep-water port making us much less dependent on link's to SA, the list go's on, so please keep up the good work and watch us grow and prosper.

    Raul - stop repeating yourself. If you want to argue that the islanders have no right to self-determination, then it would have to argue this in the International Court of Justice. No other forum can give an opinion on this.
    Time to put up or shut up.

    I never shut up, or fails to comment on the Argentine rights over the Malvinas. As I said before the International Court of Justice would never go against the decolonization committee of the UN. This committee, as it does every year in their decisions, ruled that a sovereignty dispute. It is not self-determination.

    The First Transitory Provision of the Constitution of 1994 states: ”The Nation Argentina ratifies its legitimate and imprescriptible sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich and the corresponding maritime and island spaces, being an integral part of the country. The recovery of these territories and the full exercise of sovereignty, respecting the way of life for its inhabitants and according to the principles of international law, constitute a permanent and unwavering goal of the Argentine people.

    everyone should know that when we became independent of Spain (and was some time before 1833) the lands passed to us (first we were called United provinces of the south, and now Argentina), including the Malvinas, as you could see in the map y shared before. and the islands were already inhabited before the arrival the English (as I´ve already explained and you pretend not to understand). Of course, then the British came and took the islands by force, and expelled the people who were already living there. our independence was in 1816, it is firmly etched in you minds! you try to distort history to don´t recognize the truth

    The date when Spain recognised Argentinian independence is actually an important point because it relates to the concept of inheritance. If Spain didn't recognise Argentina's independence, then there could be no claim of inheritance up to that point. Lack of inheritance takes away one of the key compnents of Argentina's claim and when this is combined with the failure of Argentina to establish any form of stable administration in the Islands (they were beaten to that by Britain, of course), their claim is virtually non-existent (unless you want to include the issue of territorial integrity, which is laughable in this case).

You are only people living on stolen land. So who cares what you think? Your ancestors were thieves and you still are. Of course you're an idiot. You're an argie. It's like night follows day. You're an argie so you're an idiot. I know the next bit is going to be difficult for you, so I'll take it slowly. It doesn't matter when you “declare” your independence. What does matter is when the country that owns the land recognises that independence. In your case you were sitting on Spanish land. Until Spain recognised your independence, it was still Spanish land. It's a bit like “declaring” that you're a doctor. You don't get to practice until the governing body looks at your qualifications and agrees that you are a doctor. You can't “inherit” land in the way that you suggest. It's not legal. It has to be specifically ceded to you. Got the bit of paper ceding the Falklands to you, have you? It would need to be signed both by Spain and Britain. In human affairs, there are four methods of acquiring sovereignty. Cession, conquest, occupation and prescription. We've established you haven't got the first. You can't have the second because there was no-one there to conquer. Occupation might be a possibility except there mustn't be objections from other states. And the same applies to prescription. So you had no rights to the any of Argentina until you were recognised by Spain. And you would never have rights to the Falkland Islands until Britain agreed to cede them to you. That's the law. Also get used to another legal principle. 'Uti possidetis'. At the end of a conflict, territory belongs to the combatant in possession.

    The adjective “Argentina” was restricted in 1813, when Paraguay definitely separated from the other provinces and declared independence, and was further restricted after separation of the State of Uruguay - British pressure as an agreement with Brazil - in 1829.

    Since then, the adjective 'Argentina' was limited to residents of the Argentina Confederation, later called Argentina.

    The constitution promulgated on December 24, 1826 was called the Constitution of the República Argentina. Here is the writing of our independence: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Argentina._Acta_de_Independencia_%28Provincias_Unidas_en_Sud-América%29.jpg

    I've already gave you some names of people that were a citizen of the Argentine in 1833 that was living in Malvinas

    Now that we all know that Malvinas were settled before 1833, the people living there were argentinian, and Argentina exist before that date. Can someone explain me why is it ok that the british took the island?

    The British occupation to Malvinas was a military operation in the UK that the December 20, 1832 took control of the islands after the American sloop USS Lexington destroyed the Argentine military defenses of the settlement of Puerto Soledad, in the homonymous island of the archipelago.
    Despite being in peaceful relations with the Confederation of Argentina, on 3 January next year the British evacuated the garrison of 26 soldiers and Argentina established a military garrison. The CIVILIAN argentinien population was expelled. Since then, the islands have been under British rule.

    The Anglican church, was started by Henry XIII because he wanted a divorce from Ann Boleyn, but the Pope would not grant Henry's request. Therefore, he started his own fake Catholic church, and granted himself the divorce. Henry then had Ann murdered, plus the murder of some of his other “wives”, and who know how many other people.

    Talking about stolen land, when will you give back to Paraguay the land that Argentina stole in 1871?
    When will you give back to the native peoples the land that you Argentines stole from them, after killing a lot of them, of course.

    The answer is quite simple for anyone who doesn't have a pint of lard for a brain. There are four internationally-recognised methods of acquiring sovereignty over a territory. Argentina (or more properly the United Provinces of South America achieved none of them. By contrast, Britain complied with at least two and, arguably, three. Is that clearer now?

    You do not have a monopoly on 'truth'.
    Nobody is disputing what happened in the past. There were some people here in 1833 who left because the British insisted. Other people stayed here and became British Falkland Islanders. That's all you can say for sure. They are the verifiable facts.
    The rest is your interpretation, or mine. Whether you can call those people Argentinian, whether they should have been here at all, the word 'usurped', it's all just opinion.
    As for your map from 1816, that isn't 'truth' or evidence, or anything of the kind. I've seen maps with half the world coloured red to denote British territory. I don't hear anyone calling that the 'truth'.

    I have been entirely consistent in my views of what you call the 'truth'. I don't believe any sane or reasonable person or body is going to ruin my life and the lives of every other Falkland Islander on the basis of something that can't be proven about something that happened in 1833.

There is nothing you can possibly say to me about the events of 1833 that will make me change my mind about whether or not we should be subjugated by Argentina against our will.

    Even if Spain had established sovereignty over the Falklands, this sovereignty never passed to Argentina.

    There was no inheritance from Spain. In fact it is legally impossible for Argentina to have inherited the Falklands from Spain. Spain did not begin to relinquish any of ifs territories in the Americas until 1836

    http://es.scribd.com/doc/14887706/Falkland-Islands-Population-Evolution

    and when it recognised Argentina in 1859 it did not cede the Falklands to Argentina, as it no longer was in the position to do so. A state cannot cede territory it does not possess, and Spain was not in possession of the Falklands

    Argentina achieved its independence by unilateral secession, not by inheritance from Spain and in the case of unilateral secession sovereignty over territory is achieved by establishing effective control over that territory. Argentina never established effective control over the Falklands

    Neither does the fact that you can produce a map from 1816 showing the Falklands as part of Argentina make it either true or right.

    Cero,

    Argentina argues that they inherited the Falklands from Spain in 1816, so they had sovereignty in 1833 when the UK took over and that the UK expelled the population. Now, Argentina has said this many times, and people like you repeat it often. But, Argentina, though it has stated it many times, in 179 years has not presented a single shred of evidence to prove that it inherited the Falklands from Spain or that the population was expelled. So I challenge you, Cero, to do something that no Argentine government has ever done. To prove that Argentina inherited the Falklands from Spain and that the population was expelled. It must be proof, not someone many years saying that it happened. The proof must contemporary documentation such as a treaty between Spain and Argentina before 1833 or the accounts of those expelled or other eyewitnesses, not unsubstantiated assertions by people who were never there when the events happened.

    Argentina argumenta que heredó a las Falklands de España en 1816, así que tenía soberanía en 1833, cuando el Reino Unido tomó posesión y que el Reino Unido expulsó a su población. Ahora, Argentina ha dicho esto muchas veces, y personas como tú lo repiten a menudo. Sin embargo, Argentina, a pesar de que lo ha dicho muchas veces, en 179 años no ha presentado ni una pizca de evidencia que demuestre que heredó a las Falklands de España o que la población fue expulsada. Así que te reto a ti, Cero, a que hagas algo que ningún gobierno argentino jamás haya hecho nunca. Probar que Argentina heredó a las Falklands de España y que la población fue expulsada. Tienen que ser pruebas, no alguien muchos años después diciendo que sucedió. La prueba debe documentación de la época, tales como un tratado entre España y Argentina antes de 1833 o los relatos de los expulsados u otros testigos oculares​​, no afirmaciones infundadas por personas que nunca estuvieron allí cuando ocurrieron los hechos.

    by the way, we know perfectly well what it is a colony, a revolution, independence. southamerica doesnt need you to tell us what it is. we were protagonists of that. and facts talk for themselves. we couldnt ask spaniards for permission to get independence, you see, they with the use of much force, wouldnt give it to us. we had to fight. and all SAM did the same.

    Malen,

    The Falklands never had indigenous Amerindian inhabitants; they were never Amerindian territory. Unlike the continent, the Falklands were never under the sovereignty of any Amerindian tribe before the arrival of Europeans, so how Spain conquered South America is irrelevant to the Falklands.

    Nobody says you needed to ask for permision to get independence, but if you do it unilaterally, by force, then you have not achieved that independence via an inheritance. The notion of an inheritance in this case is totally absurd. Argentina can no more inherit from Spain territory it has taken without Spain's consent than you can inherit from your father land, or anything else, you take from him without his consent. In short, Argentina did achieve sovereignty over its territory, but it was not through an inheritance from Spain

    And you are extremely naive if you believe that the land was returned to indigenous Amerindians on independence

    Las Falklands nunca tuvieron habitantes indígenas amerindios, nunca fueron territorio indígena. A diferencia del continente, las Falklands nunca estuvieron bajo la soberanía de ningún tribu indígena antes de la llegada de los europeos, así que como España conquistó América del Sur es irrelevante para las Falklands.

    Nadie dice que era necesario pedir permiso por obtener la independencia, pero si lo haces de manera unilateral, por la fuerza, entonces no has logrado esa independencia a través de un herencia. La noción de una herencia en este caso es totalmente absurda. Argentina ni más puede heredar España de territorio que ha tomado sin el consentimiento de España que tú puedes heredar de tu padre terreno, o cualquier otra cosa, que has tomado de él sin su consentimiento. En resumen, la Argentina logró la soberanía sobre su territorio, pero no fue mediante una herencia de España

    Y eres extremadamente ingenua si crees que el territorio fue devuelta a los indígenas amerindios con la independencia

    #205: the religious beliefs of Henry XIII in the 1550's have nothing to do with the history of the disputed islands in 1810 - present day. Further, most Argentines I met were very proud that they did not discriminate based on religion, and the rights of religious freedom are part of the Constitution of Argentina. I think they would be very disheartened to read of a fellow Argentine making such religiously disparaging remarks in this thread.

    They are illegitimate distractions from the real debate of the history and diplomacy of the dispute. Frankly, name calling, whether making fun of British, Argentines, Catholics, Protestants or another creed diminishes the credibility of the accuser. It is difficult to take anyone seriously if he is willing to write such low words.

    Let us return the debate to the facts, and see what can be done. From the British perspective, I can see that 30 years is not so far in the past. They have recent memories of the war and invasion. They see appalling government corruption in Argentina (come on Argentines, you've all complained to me about it when I visited!). They see a population that partied in 1982 when the invasion started, and denied for many years how badly they were defeated. They see a government that has been very slow indeed to prosecute Dirty War military figures for murdering 30,000 people in a horrible manner. They see an economy with 29% inflation (which outstrips its rate of growth), little means of establishing credit due to lack of IMF repayment, and riots and strikes every week in Buenos Aires.

    I do understand their reluctance to join up with Argentina. They might be more willing to join up with a more stable country like Chile.

    Argentina has absolutely no rights in the Falklands at all. And never will have.

    @199 dab14763,
    Thank you for your correct interpretations.
    The Argentines are just so indoctrinated that l think it will take several generations to become normal again.
    Unfortunately for them, they may well be part of Brazil by then.♥

    I am not alive thanks to Spain nor I need to explain their actions, I am Argentinean not Spaniard, ask them.
    You are English so I ask you the same question again:
    Please explain to us(no excuses)why the English invaded one third of the planet(like Malvinas) or invaded Iraq based on a big lie, not to mention the miliions who suffered as a consequence of all this criminal actions.

    In comment 201 instead of putting Colón, i should have said Pizarro, Cortés, Solís, Mendoza,etc.
    2)Davidab are you suggesting that getting independence by force is not legal, but it is legal being invaded, subjugated stolen by force?? Are you suggesting that people of this territory instead of fighting for independnece should have continue being subjugated and waited till the colonizators wanted?? hmmmmm
    3) yes the land was returned to amerindians and all the mixed people that happenned between them and colonizators. these criools, mestizos, mulatos, also were subjugated by spaniards. and the amerindians with the mixed people fought together to get freedom.
    our liberator san martín helped peruvians to get freedom from spaniards, the only way to recover their land, not being subjugated.
    4) the isles are a british overseas territory, their head of state is a british queen, the population british and their wishes are to be british.
    the isles were populated by argentina in 1833. had a legal authority.
    5) dont need you to make translation, i can read and understand english. your translator of english to spanish is not good, doesnt make sense the sentences.

    What 'British propaganda'?
    Seriously, tell me what it is and I'll tell you if it makes any difference to me or not.
    I'm only interested in who gets hurt and who benefits by any given outcome.
    Any of the outcomes that Argentina proposes hurt me and mine and benefit nobody.
    I already told you I don't care what was done to some long dead Argentine soldiers 200 years ago.
    If there was a native population clamouring for independence or liberation, it would be different.
    But there isn't. There is only your national pride, and that isn't worth the hair on one Falkland Islander's head.
    'My own behaviour' is utterly blameless. What the British did to further their aims 200 years ago is not my fault or my concern.

    Debido a la gravísima situación que imperaba en el país y especialmente en la provincia de Tucumán, lugar en que el ERP quería conformar una zona liberada para formar un estado independiente que fuera reconocido por las Naciones Unidas como estado beligerante, el Gobierno Nacional instruyó a las FF.AA para que iniciasen los estudios y el planeamiento para operar militarmente a fin de neutralizar y/o aniquilar al terrorismo subversivo en Tucumán.
    El 05 de enero de 1975, parte de la provincia de Córdoba con destino Tucumán, un avión Twin Otter perteneciente al Comando de Aviación del Ejército, el cual estaba afectado al servicio del IIIer Cuerpo de Ejercito para realizar un reconocimiento de la zona selvática en la provincia de Tucumán, mientras realizaba estudios preliminares para la iniciación del Operativo Independencia.
    Una de las tareas esenciales de todo planeamiento son los reconocimientos del terreno donde se va a operar. Durante la ejecución de éstos es derribado por un grupo de terroristas (ERP22) un avión en proximidades de Tafí del Valle en el paraje denominado La Angostura, perdiendo la vida trece integrantes del Ejército Argentino; entre ellos el Comandante del IIIer Cuerpo de Ejército Grl.

    You only victimize your self, and dont do any critic for your behaviour, if the u. n signalizes that both nations must resume the negotiations, in order to find a peaceful solution for this conflict, that must be respected, beyond the hate that surelly you feel for us or for our government, you must understand once and for all, that you wont never be only under argentine sovereignty, because that's not what the u. n signalizes for this dispute, it's not imposible to find a fair solution for you and for us, there experiences about shared administrations in diferent places, i know what i am saying because i investigate, i dont parrot nobody's propaganda, however, it's your side the one that rejects the negotiations, realise once and for all that if none of the two nations proposes to take the cause to the court, it's because none of them is sure that it can win the case, that's why the best that we can do, is to resume the negotiations, i will always respect the wishes of independence of your people, but as long as the u. n continues calling both parts to resume the negotiations, that will have to be respected, beyond our wishes.

    @Axel

    The UN general assembly resolutions you so often refer to merely “asks” both nations to negotiate, are utterly without legal basis or imperative, and are so vague they can equally be used to demand argentina stops bullying the islanders, as it is not in the islander’s interests to be subjugated by a third world joke of a nation. These resolutions are also unable to override the basic UN charter which promises self determination for all peoples.

    And you once again show a deeply deluded view of your own importance if you think Britain or the British people care enough about Argentina to hate it. You are at best an occasional joke to those few who know or care about the Falklands due to your own delusions, obsessions and hypocrisy on the issue. Beyond this you are startlingly irrelevant.

    And despite your delusions, you will never have even shared sovereignty of the islands. argentina has proven itself untrustworthy, unreliable, and most of all unworthy of playing any part in the islands. It has done all it can to destroy the islander’s lives through the military occupation (and the planned ethnic cleansing which would have occurred afterwards), economic blockade attempts and by your increasingly shrill demands that the islanders be considered sub human.

    Britain has tried on two occasions to drag argentina to court on the issue, and both times argentina refused in favour of bullying the islanders. Now we know full well of how little we can trust argentina or rely on it to act as a civilised nation so we no longer bother. If argentina had any legal case the onus is on argentina to take it to court.

    argentina has long failed to achieve anything beyond humiliation and failure with regards to the islands. Maybe its time for you to end your bloated national ego and self righteous delusions, and start acting like a civilised nation for a change

    As the United States first, by President Monroe's message of May 8, 1822, after England with the treaty signed in Buenos Aires on February 2, 1825, recognized the sovereignty of the then Provincias Unidas del Sud as an independent state without reservation in respect territorial boundaries and area that corresponded to the Virreynato del Rio de la Plata, while it was separated from the mother country. It is understood that the claim filed subsequent English Consul General in Buenos Aires, Woodbine Parish, on November 19, 1829, protesting the rights of the June 10, 1829, which created and organized political and military Command and designated Falklands governor Vernet them, were a foretaste of the measures of force that would conduct England to take over a province of Argentina.

But to keep foreign vessels exploiting the territory of the Republic, Vernet asked to be appointed political and military commander, and he sent a warship with weapons necessary to enforce the orders.

    Argentines are like a mad dog suffering from rabies, show them some blood and they go straight for it. Unfortunately mindless aggression and intelligence don't go together. The UK government are laughing their heads off at the latest spat, it falls right into our hands. The Falklands, still need the UK and will continue to do so while Argentina threatens its existence. Meanwhile the people of the Falklands are pushed ever further into their hatred of everything Argentine. While their resolve to fight the intimidation and threats grow ever more determined.

    The international community and international law could not tolerate aggression against another people and their rights and land. Without the hearts and minds of the Falkland islanders the Argentines are stuffed. Kirchiner knows this, she's just playing a game her her child like electorate, she knows their just red eyed dogs on her leash, she just needs to keep them foaming at the mouth over something other than herself.

    On January 3 1833, Malvinas are usurped. Onslow commander of the corvette Clio, took possession of Puerto Soledad. On day 5, the small Sarandí Argentine vessel is removed to Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, after lowering the flag of Argentina to the islands, Onslow, hoisted the British flag. Devoid of other orders, the England captain leaves Puerto Soledad, and leaves in the custody of the flag, the Scot Dickson.

    José María Pinedo, commander of the corvette Sarandí, tries to prevent this act of aggression, but is outnumbered.The Pirates (British) were three times the number Argentine and the British Pinedo accompanying refused to fight against their flag. Thus they were only 14 soldiers and 10 other unarmed civilians. For this reason, Pinedo had no choice but to surrender.
    Pinedo was sanctioned by the Supreme Council of War and Navy.According to Art. 41 Naval Code, any war commander must defend the flag of any superiority it was attacked, with the most value and will never surrender to superior forces without covering of glory in his gallant resistance ...
    Beyond the decision to Pinedo, the British on this day 172 years ago but we have seized a small but beloved part of our country.

    On day 15, the ship arrives in Buenos Aires Sarandí. That same day the government made a protest to the British charge d'affaires, who deny the facts.

    A circular of January 23, informed the “American Republics”, the attack by England. The note was a large silence from the countries of the continent and the Annual Register, 1833, congratulated the United States to remain silent, to complaints of “weak”.

    On April 24, the Argentine representative in London, Don Manuel Moreno, filed a complaint with the British Crown, which reiterated the June 17, in an extensive and documented memory of protest.

    That same year, a tragic event occurred on the islands, where two gauchos, including Rivero, along with two Indians start a bloody massacre.

    malvinas are Argentinas ... Since to determine the sovereignty of a territory is needed: A_Ocupación effective: this is demonstrated by permanent buildings, administrative or governmental organization. B_Prescripción: This occurs when a sovereign state does not protest the usurpation (invasion and occupation) of its territory. C_Discover. In 1766 he set A_ first ground Malvinas, England, occupation lasted eight years, ignoring the Spanish claims and other attempts to leave the islands to England. Moreover, the right of first occupancy France possesses. Argentina is a continuous and permanent Malvinas since 1817, to the usurpation (1833). It is noteworthy that since 1811 ships were sent from Buenos Aires to take care of the territories until it was established permanently in 1817. And one of the first acts of the government of Rivadavia, was to sign the budget for the Malvinas.

    In 1820 is produced the posetion public and solemn. Period that lasted thirteen years, until the English usurpation. Until 03/01/1833, Argentina enjoyed their rights over their territory, although vessels from the United States and Britain, had long been exploiting national territory illegally

    It doesn't sorprise the ignorant knowledge that you have about my country, it's actually the usuall partial view which is the tipical of the empires.
    I have always recognized the mistakes of my country, i have said it in all my comments, per haps my country committed mistakes when it recalled the agreements that it signed in the past with the u. k., however none of you never did any critic for your behaviour, it seems it soposes that you do everything right, please. However, it's your side the one that rejects the negotiations, using the dictatorship, in order to continue with status quo, what you call just recomendations, must be respected, if you are so miopic and ignorant to not to realise that actually if none of the two countries proposes to take the case to the court, because they aren't sure that they can win the case, that's your problem, you should know also that in 1885 my country suggested to take the case to the arbitration, and the u. k. rejected that posibility, and in 1947 the u. k. suggested to take the question of the dependencies (south georgia and sandwich) to the court, bat it didn't do the same with the conflict of the islands, i have so much information about this in my survey, i can send it to you if you want. In the same way that the islanders deffend the right to self determination, we deffend our territorial integrity, that's why it's necesary a fair solution, the hard decitions that our government took, are the result of the rejection of the islanders and the u. k. to resume the negotiations, you can't ignore that, if only victimize your self, and dont do any critic for you posture, it's lamentable, that shows how miopic you are, like many politicians, finally, if my country is a joke or whatever, that's our problem, all the countries have positive and negative aspects, dont be so hipocrite.

    Argentina: What about our territorial integrity?!

    The relevant word being “adjacent”, in English now, as then, the use of the word adjacent here specificaly excludes the Falklands from this agreement.
    As in no way can the Falklands be considered to be “adjacent” to South America, when using English.

    Whatever the interpretation of the word “adjacent” in the Nootka Convention, the fact remains it was a treaty between Britain and Spain so had absolutely nothing to do with Argentina (which did not even exist at the time the treaty was signed). Argentina cannot gain any benefit from Nootka as it was not a signatory.

    CRACKPOT, and all the rest of the people in this forum.
    Crackpot: Beyond the stupid ironies that you typed in your comment, i will tell you something that you can't ignore, and it goes also for everyone.
    If the right to self determination is applicable or not to this cause, that only can be assured by a judgment of the i. c. j, you already know why i think that none of the two nations proposes to give that step.
    However, all the resolutions say that the negotiations must be resumed under the respect for resolution 1514, the principles of the charter of the u. n., and the interests of the population, none resolution asks the u. k. to transfer the sovereignty to argentina, in the same way that none of them affirm neather that the sovereignty issue must be discussed only if the islanders wish it, you can't ignore that the main problem is the sovereignty, and it must be discussed, and find a fair solution for the all the parts.
    It's true that resolution 1514 and the charter of the u. n. affirm that all the people have right to self determination, but both dont let any colonial situation to break the territorial integrity of any country, i suggest you to read resolution 2353 which reffers the gibraltar question, and you'll see what's the relevancy of territorial integrity for the u. n. On the other hand, i think that sometimes the resolutions are very generic, and they can be open to diferent interpretations, that's why i have always argued that the only on solution for this conflict, is to take the case to the court.
    I made an exhaustive investigation about the historic and legal aspects of this conflict, which took me more than one year, because i dont parrot any propaganda, like some you do sometimes, i can send it to anyone.

    @281: Axel.
    You make some interesting points, but I would like to make a few counterpoints:
    1) Territorial integrity has has NEVER been mentioned in any resolutions regarding the Falkland Islands.
    2) No resolutions say that negociations MUST proceed. They are only recommendations/invitations.
    3) The UK's sovereignty over Gibraltar is not questioned by Spain; they only question the extent of that sovereignty and have a desire for it to be returned to Spain.
    4) Territorial integrity is certainly a more significant issue in the case of Gibraltar, although it is debatable whether the UK's sovereignty over Gibraltar really intereferes with Spains territorial integrity (it's not an enclave, after all). The issue of territorial integrity with regards to the Falkland Islands is non-existent (they are too far away).
    5) Gibraltar would probably be independent now (thus ending any potential impact of a colonial situation on territorial integrity) if it were not for the clause in the Treaty of Utrecht stating that Spain has first option if the UK ever reliquishes sovereignty. Unfortunately, that is why the situation in Gibralatr will never change either, as 97% of the population (who have been there for 300 years) want to stay associated with the UK.
    6) The issue of territorial integrity has NEVER allowed one country to take over sovereignty of a territory from another, as far as I'm aware.

    I agree that the ICJ is the only way to go. It is very doubtful if Argentina could ever win such a case. It would be very easy to establish that the Islanders are indeed “a people” and thus have the right to self-determination and the whole territorial integrity argument would be dismissed very quickly.

    Axel and Crackpot. Note that none of the relevant UN Resolutions calls for negotiations over sovereignty. Rather they call for negotiations over the sovereignty dispute. The UN is not calling for a transfer of sovereignty, it is simply calling for the UK and Arg to settle their dispute.

    The UN decolonisation process for the Falkland Islands is unaffected as are the rights of the Falkland Islanders.

    Indeed. I think that people often forget that the resolutions relate to “The Special Committee on the Situation with regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence of Colonial Countries and Peoples”. The key words there are GRANTING OF INDEPENDENCE. Their job is not make recommendations regarding any transfer of sovereignty (other than from the administering country to the territory itself).

    Incorrect Malvinense. Argentina gained independence by force. Spain did not grant independence to Argentina. Argentina is not a successor to Spain in any legal sense and did not derive any rights from Spain.

    Anyway, however Argentina became independent still does not change the fact that Argentina was not a signatory to Nootka, so could not benefit from Nootka in any way.

    Oh, and Malvinense, the USA is not a successor to the UK any more than Argentina is to Spain. If Spain had granted Argentina independence by treaty that would be different, but the facts are against you. Argentina did not inherit any rights or title whatsoever from Spain. Spain did not even recognise Argentina until 1859, when Britain had been in control of the Falklands for more than 20 years. What's more, Nootka recognised Spanish title of the Falklands with certain British rights. Spain made no objection to Britain taking the Falklands in 1833 on a permanent basis. Argentina was never a signatory to Nootka. The only way Argentina could have benefitted from Nootka would have been with Spanish and British agreement, and many years after Nootka was signed. That never happened. Get used to it. You cannot benefit from a contract to which you were not a party. Simple.

    Spain recognizes the Independence of Argentina retroactively to the time when the events occurred.
    Spain did not protest the islands, because upon the sovereignty of a new nation: Argentina.
    What kind of law can have the UK when the Spanish ruled the island for years?
    What kind of law can have the UK when he was absent from the islands for over 60 years?
    What kind of law can have the UK when in 1765 arrived secretly in violation of the following treaties?:
    England could not claim anything in 1765, under the treaties of Munster 1648, Article VI, XIII.

    England defied all these agreements in 1765.
    Ah Roberts, Indeed, in 1765 the islands were already occupied.
    With regard to Nootka, British rights were fishing and building huts. Only TEMPORARY.
    And on islands DO NOT OCCUPIED by Spain.
    The Malvinas Islands at the time were OCCUPIED by Spain.
    How can they have rights, when you have said they have no rights?

    Malvinense. I never said Spain had no rights, but I did say that Argentina had no rights over the Falklands, in 1810, in 1816, in 1826, in 1832 and in 1833.

    None of the treaties you mention above had Argentina as a party, so Argentina cannot benefit from them.

    Finally, you obviously do not understand re the UKs declaration before the ICJ. It simply means that the UK will automatically accept the ICJs jurisdiction for all cases where the dispute arises after 1974. For other cases the UK will decide on a case by case basis. Argentina decides for ALL cases on a case by case basis and does not accept the ICJs jurisdiction automatically under any circumstances.

    Wrong again, Cero.
    You have no rights here.
    Your country has NEVER owned the Falklands.
    Your country is a thief,
    are you going to give back, the land that your country stole from Paraguay?
    No? porque? because you are thieves & you want to“theft”our country too.
    So sorry for you mate. better luck, next country that you try to steal land from.

    Not quite true, Isolde.
    Argentina DID own TFI briefly -1982.

    We have another bit of case law :
    since Ecuador ruled that Chevron must be responsible for issues related to a previous company with which it took over, we can test the proposition that the countries that took over from Spain must be responsible not only for their own actions in their own time, but also those of the Spanish from which they took over.
    Human rights, recompense and compensations. The Ecuador case shows that this will be measured in billions and billions of dollars. Australia is addressing this; as should North American countries.

    Not quite the case Geoff, Isolde was correct that Argentina never owned the FI:

    Possess = actual holding or occupancy, either with or without rights of ownership (the FI & the UK did not give ownership to the Argies!)
    Owner = legal right to possession of a thing.

    The Argies possessed the islands briefly in 1982, they did NOT own them at any time (they had no permission of ownership [with ot without consideration] so at best under UK Law they would have had a bare licence which by implication means they should have 'looked after the possession').

    Also, I am not at all sure why you are quoting the Ecuador case when discussing the FI, which at origin would be UK law.

    Surely the Chevron case involves human rights, recompense and compensations against Chevron, not between countries?

    I think Cero is talking about me. Struck a nerve there Melchard what.

    I have another question for you Cero (you haven't answered any so far, but here goes). How is that a country like argentina, which as you say, had to struggle for is democratic rights and freedoms, still finds it so easy to deny those same rights to another people.

    @308 Malvinense 1833
    What kind of law can have the UK when the Spanish ruled the island for years?
    What kind of law can have the UK when he was absent from the islands for over 60 years?
    The British have ruled the Island for 179 years, argentina has been absent from the Islands for 179 years. But Argentina still claims them.

    Argentina has no moral or legal rights to the Falklands, and anyone who says otherwise, are either anti brit, or lying, or worst still indoctrinated, you cannot claim things of 200 odd years age,
    For Christ’s sake, you will be claiming bloody Germany next,

    And besides if you reward all thieves who try to steal your property,
    Then you might as well pay them a wage whilst you’re at it,

    Argentina will not get them, and you bloggers can whistle in the wind,
    But if you think you can take away freedom to supplement your greed,
    Then how long after , would Chile and the rest, be on your list,
    After all was they not a colony of Spain also,

    CRACKPOT.
    I dont have a deep knowledge about the gibraltar question, i know so little about it, anyway i suggest you to read that resolution, because the most important for me, is expressed in one of the paragraphs, which reffers the relevancy of territorial integrity for the purposes of the charter of the u. n.
    On the other hand, you should know that in two oportunities, in 1985, the u. k. tries to include references about self determination for this cause, and the international comunity voted by a landslide against that proposal, the malvinas-falkland cause is still considered like a special colonial situation.
    Beside, i wouldn't be so sure like you, respecting a soposed rejection by the court regarding our claim, let me tell you that in 1885, our country suggested to take the question to the arbitration, and the u. k. rejected that posibility, and in 1947, it suggested argentina to take the question of the dependencies (south georgia and sandwich), to the court, anyway you all know very well what i think about the lack of proposal by the two nations respecting the fact of taking the case to the court.
    Like i said before, all the resolutions affirm that the negotiations must be resumed under the respect for resolution 1514, and the charter of the u. n., you can't ignore that resolution 1514 has fundaments about territorial integrity, beside you can't be so mipopic and ignore also that the main conflict is for the sovereignty, and it must be discussed, it's true that resolutions are recomendations, but if the countries dont respect them, ¿then what's the purpose of the decolonization committee?.

    @315 Axel:
    I suggest you re-read the resolutions regarding the Falkland Islands, because territorial integrity is not mentioned anywhere in any of them (but is specifically mentioned in those relating to Gibraltar). You have to ask yourself why that is.

    Gibraltar is irrelevant - it's a completely different situation. Firstly, Gibraltar was once part of Spain (in contrast, Argentina never had any credible administration in the Falkland Islands). Secondly, Spain does not question that the UK has sovereignty over Gibraltar (the Treaty of Utrecht ceded Gibraltar to the UK in perpetuity), although they do question the extent of that sovereignty). Spain only has a claim over Gibraltar if the UK decides to give up its sovereignty (the Treaty stipulates that Spain has first refusal). So, Gibraltar is stuck in a catch 22 situation - they don't want to be part of Spain (97% in the last referdum voted against it) and they cannot become independent (unless Spain refuses sovereignty). Thus, the most likely outcome is that Gibraltar will remain a BOT for the foreseeable future. This is the main parallel with the FI - the only unlikely outcome is transfer of sovereignty to another country.

    Every body thinks neither side will go to the ICJ for fear of losing them,
    Simply not true,
    Britain has no need or reason to go to claim what is already hers,

    Thus the Oman is on Argentina to prove other wise,
    As a matter of fact, it may well be in argentines interest, if she thinks she has a right to them, after all she has spent the last decades telling the world, that they are theirs, yet strangely, avoids the ICJ like the plague,
    If you think it is your then take it to court, and stop trying to avoid the question with irrelevant questions of your own,

    307 Monty. don't mix the concepts, Malvinas are Argentine territory colonized by the United Kingdom. we are not colonizers, uk is. “You are not a person WITH VALUES?” “I hope you Are not talking to me” if you agree with usurpation, yes. otherwise, no.
    310 Isolde.
    Our rights were usurped in 1833, return them. If you want we can continue talking about Malvinas, for the rest, inform yourself and then we can make a blog to talk.
    313. Puhol. because their rights are founded on usurpation. you denied our rights when usurped the islands. your other question I've already answer it. read 306. If I miss something, tell me or not, I don't care.
    Malvinense, I agree with you. The problem is that an invader population will NEVER admit the truth. then, of course, there is nothing that suits them to talk.

    @318 Cero
    Your rights in Argentina today are based on usurpation in the past, much of it after you claim the British usurped the Falklands.

    The difference is your version of events in the south atlantic is very strongly rejected by the British. I am not aware of any strong disagrement about what happened in Argentina.

    It is not the British who do not admit the truth here. I am sure if you look for yourself you will find it, whether you will ever admit it is the question.

    3)You want these lslands &
    4)We are not going to give them to you.
    5)So there is no use you talking as we won't be taking.

    CRACKPOT. BRITON.
    CRACKPOT: I know that maybe gibraltar is irrelevant for this case, but if i suggest you to read that resolution, is due to in one of it's paragraphes, is expressed the thought u. n, regarding the relevancy of the principle of territorial integrity, beyond the fact that the gibratar cause is irrelevant for the malvinas-falkalnd case.
    On the other hand i recommend you to read my investigation, where you'll be able to know what rights argentina and the u. k. had in 1833, when it forced our autorities to leave the archipelago, it's not argentine propaganda, i made an exhaustive analaysis of the historic and legal aspects of the arguments of both sides, i can send it to you if you want.
    You can' t ignore that resolution 1514 has fundaments about territorial integrity, in article 6, beside, that resolution is always invoked for this cause.
    BRITON: For the first time i agree on most you say, we all know that neather side will go to the court, because both aren't sure that they can win the case, but you should remember also that in 1885 my country suggested to take the question to the arbitration, and the u. k. rejected that posibility, beside when in 1947, the u. k. suggested to take the question of the dependencies to the court, it didn't include the mavinas-falkland cause. So, if they aren't going to take the case to the court, what both should do, is to resume the negotiations, like the u. n, and most international comunity signalize.

    @322: “...in one of it's paragraphes, is expressed the thought u. n, regarding the relevancy of the principle of territorial integrity, ..”

    Quite right.......BUT, territorial integrity is NOT mentioned in any of the resolutions regarding the Falkland Islands......ERGO, it is relevannt to Gibraltar, but not to the Falkland Islands.....QED.

    So, yes, I guess I agree that the case of Gibraltar is relevant to this discussion, because it shows that UN resolutions do not shy away from mentioning territorial integrity IF they think it might be relevant. Not mentioned in relation to the FI, though, is it!
    I personally don't think that territorial integrity has much weight in the case of Gibraltar, either, in as much as any territory on a country's borders affects its territorial integrity. I personally don't think that it outweighs the self-determination of a population that has been there for over 300 years (the Spanish only controlled Gibraltar for 250 years after they ousted the Moors who had been there for 750 years!). That's just my personal opinion, though.

    p.s. I will happily read your investigation (I review a lot of scientific articles as part of my job). I assume that you have published it somewhere on the internet. If not, why not?

    I have been wondering if there is anything more to it than invasions by the British before the country even existed.

    AXE, that was the past, and time moves on, waiting for no man,
    The 21st century dictates that self determination is paramount,
    The fact is and will always remain,,
    As long as the people choose to be British, then that is that, until they change their mind,
    And Argentina must , sooner or later respect that fact .
