Apr 03rd, 2012 - 10:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Legally it's a nice document to have, because it shows that Argentina lost the Falklands territories to the UK in a war that they started. That's legally binding under international law.
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nice. Argentine perfidy, incompetence and cowardice all in one neat document.
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0perhaps then CFK should display this when she talks, just to gently remind her .
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 I think KFC fears this document. It's very very powerful as shown from wikipoodia (can't be arsed to go into my legal books):
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The principle was affirmed by the International Court of Justice in the 1986 Case Burkina-Faso v Mali:
“[Uti possidetis] is a general principle, which is logically connected with the phenomenon of obtaining independence, wherever it occurs. Its obvious purpose is to prevent the independence and stability of new states being endangered by fratricidal struggles provoked by the changing of frontiers following the withdrawal of the administering power. is a general principle, which is logically connected with the phenomenon of obtaining independence, wherever it occurs.

perhaps we should should pin this to seafox, he seems unable to understand .
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 I don't think these Le Camping Argtards know about sovereignty under international law. They run away from courts quicker than you can say 'run away little child, run away'.
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK doesn't want to go to court because it looks a bit f*cking stupid saying you won it in a war, because let's face it... it's a lot easier to say that then descend into Argentinian revised history arguments. But I guess when needs must, and if it stops the Argies getting their horrible horrible evil paws on those nice falklands folks lives.
“Your honour and people of the jury, we were negotiating nicely when the furking argies sent in the military, so we handed them their arses on a plate and we owned the territory as per the principle of uti posseditis, but then we gave them self-governance and a nice constitution... and a nice new airport. I rest my case”
hopefull, she might join her husband and give us all a break lol.
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@8 don't speak so soon, knowing Argentina there could be someone even worse to fill her shoes. I know she's furking annoying and looks like a slapped-haddock but she's hardly sending in assassins to shoot the islanders, like North Korea did in the Blue House Raid.
Apr 03rd, 2012 - 11:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0give it time,

What's the document that is framed and hanging on the wall in the Liberation room in the secretariat? Isn't it the same thing? How many copies would there have been?
Apr 04th, 2012 - 08:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0So the telegram is worth almost as much as the entire Argentine economy ;)
Apr 04th, 2012 - 10:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0@13 Multiple copies. It was UNCLAS and therefore no requirement to limit distribution or account for copies. Any operator, clerk, staff officer or commander who saw it could print a copy off or ask for a copy from the tape for their files, for themselves or for their Regimental Museum.
Apr 04th, 2012 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0The document should be enlarged and displayed behind KFC when she makes another of her funny speeches, instead of that usual gaudy flag that tends to clash with her equally gaudy attire and tacky jewellery .
Apr 04th, 2012 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0I heard an Argentine bought it to burn. Wonder if he would like to buy my copy.
Apr 04th, 2012 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0@17 I suppose it is starting to get cold there at this time of year, they can't afford coal and oil, and they do need to keep warm. Never mind, we have plenty more copies :D
Apr 04th, 2012 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Message as follows: Yellow-bellied Argentine scumbags have surrendered unconditionally to me and are grovelling for mercy like whipped dogs.
Apr 04th, 2012 - 12:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please note the piece, 'The Falkland Islands are once more under the government desired by their inhabitants”.
Apr 04th, 2012 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No longer in peril from the facist regime!
@12 Ahh, poor Adolf Galarga got all upset because he doesn't own the islands, by international law.

After the signing of the surrender, Menendez telephoned Galtieri to report the news. Galtieri took it rather badly, didn't say much and hung up. A few minutes later he called back asking “When you said surrender, did you mean JUST the Falkland Islands?”
Apr 04th, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Damn, we missed such a fine opportunity.
The Argentine army has not progressed in the last 30 years- what benefit is this doing to Argentina

Apr 05th, 2012 - 01:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0It tells you that you LOST. Get your rioters off the streets and lock away your proxy terror group, the ones who look like cock sucking pricks and who would last a day on a military drill square let alone a real war.
