Indegenous were colonized by Spain. We then mixed and so together fought for independence. We were all a new people.
We shouldnt be invaded by foreign countries, but it happened. Foreign countries never never had a right to be here.
perhaps we should tell some foreign mineras, that are taking land to exploit our resources and affecting indegenous communities, to go away (some british ones). the glaciers law is going to be implememnted. because these companies are a real bunch of robbery.
Colonialism in the 21st century pure & simple. Well done UN for finally calling Argentina out & for handing the Falkland Islanders a MAJOR propaganda coup.

Because in the eyes of the government these people are not true Argentines, so are not important, and its okay to steal their land.
Argentina never fails to live down to expectations. It seems as if imperialist colonial ambitions against the Falklands isn't enough anymore.

@13, 18, 22, 26 Unfortunately for your incoherent, incomprehensible, weaselly attempt at justification for your crimes, you argie scum just carried on dispossessing, killing, murdering, exterminating the indigenous people, didn't you? In fact, you've never stopped. Shall we remind you of the “First” Conquest of the Desert in 1832? Or would you prefer to gloss over that? Do you have heroes like Aldao, Huidobro, Quiroga and de Rosas? Murderers all. Using Remington rifles against native people who only had spears and bows and arrows. Then we mustn't forget your massive hero, Roca. Who instigated the “real” Conquest of the Desert and whose solution was to extinguish, subdue or expel the actual owners of the land. And even then you weren't satisfied. You've just carried on. Have you ever tried telling the truth?

Your lying, hypocritical regime has been caught out hasn't it?
With its diapers firmly around its trembling ankles.
Like it was found out in 1982.
Like it will be everytime it spouts rubbish about having exclusive support from the world and the UN.
So the UN are REALLY cross with Argentina, but of course Argentina has its pompous, big headed, head up its jacksie colonialist, imperialist attitude that means it considers itself EXEMPT from UN pronouncements( but the UK apparently is ignoring them).
Well, you Malvanista frauds, if you are so concerned that the UK is rejecting UN non-binding resolutions naturally you will be telling that pre-madonna who dictates to you that she must obey the UN.
So before you bang on about Chagossians or your lies about pirates, Argentina needs AGAIN to sort its own problems out.
Argentina has just handed the Falkland Islands a PR gift.
Thank you CFK, may you be re-elected because you are the best chance the Falkland Islands has got to bury the fradulent Argentine claim for their country.
Many of these same indigenous peoples were conscripted, dressed up in Argentine uniforms and sent to the firing line on the Falkland Islands to be slaughtered. Thank God most of them surrendered which at least allowed the British to disarm and peacefully repatriate them.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the hell is wrong with the Malvinistas? The land they've already stolen is vast, so much wasted empty territory that the bankrupt and corrupt state cannot manage or effectively use it. Yet still they want more, and they still don't care one jot about the people who live there, and have lived there for hundreds or thousands of years.
Malen, your arguments are weak. Except that you govenment is hypocritical and do something about it. i.e. help ALL the people in SA you keep bleating on about by voting out CFK when you first get a chance. Shameful!!!

Indigenous people have the same right that the Argentines. Also it is not a question of colonialism, is a question of law.
Furthermore ranchers and English companies collaborated with Julio A. Rock in the extermination and genocide of Indigenous in Patagonia and Chaco. Indeed applied extermination methods applied in Africa, India and Pakistan. Just read the book of Osvaldo Bayer in “Rebel Patagonia”
In 500 years of history England continues its colonialism and imperialism in the 21st century. She is the creator of white supremacy and racism.
Just observe humanitarian bombing civilians in Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan. This is easily verified by the response of victims in retaliation for the bombing of civilians carried out by Britain and France and the U.S. logistics.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 02:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It would seem to me that the hypocrisy runs both ways wouldnt you? Regardless of who helped who it was official government policy in Argentina to white-wash the nation and seize the resource rich Patagonian south for the white european descendents. In the same way as British collinisation siezes resource rich other nations. The big difference for me is the UK government (maybe not all the people who are ignorant of history) acknolleges its collonial past this is why the organsation known as the commonwealth exisits and the same way in which the UK pays billions of pounds in foreign aid to former collonies to assist in their economic development. The difference is that it was the Argentine government which has made the argument in front of the UN that the Falklands must belong to them because they British are collonial overlords and that all lands seized by collonial actionss should be returned to their former people, whilst not even acknollgeing that the vast majority of the nation known as Argentina was seized throught the same collonial actions. This I am afraid makes Argentina the bigger hypocrite because it refuses to even acknollege its own collonial history in an attempt to take an even decreasing moral high ground on the subject of the Falklands. I udnerstand you are saying that there is a law in place to stop this but if the government wanted to it could prosecute those responsible it chooses not to and as such it amounts to agreement in the actions of those commiting the evictions. A law is only effective if the government is willing to enforce it. I would suggets all that shouting at the UN has brought a little to much attention closer to home. Why should the UK discuss handing back the Falklands when you wont discuss handing back Patagaonia to the natives to whom it by the Argentines own UN arguments it belongs to.

Implement the law again, and thats all. ”
I want to ask about this statement. It claims the law was created, it just wasn't implemented in all cases. Now, just implement the law.
Does this mean that the lands that were taken since the law was created, but not implemented, will be returned? Or just that no more land can be taken?
Does the land taken since the law was created have to be given back?
I already knew about these demands, i have heard about them a few months ago, there is still a big social and moral debt with our brothers who belong to the originary populations, some of them are still victime of powerfull masters who expeal them from their lands with the purpose of planting soya. In the reform of our constitution of 1994, it was included in the chapter fourth, article 17th which refers to the duties of the congress, and signalizes as a duty of it, the fact of signalizing the preexistance of the indigenous populations, provide legal status to their lands, regulate the the giving of lands, etc etc, in fact, last year were restituted lands to the curruhinca population from neuquen, which constitutes a historic reparation by the argentine state to those populations, but there is still a lot to do for them. Many ignorant people, who publish comments here everyday, and who criticise our claim for the islands, make ignorant comparisons, emphasizing the occupation of the argentine state over the patagonia, and consider our claim like colonialism, this is evident that you don't realise about how rediculous and ignorant you seem everytime you make such a medicre analysis.
Sep 19th, 2012 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0However none of you know about the fact that despite the genocide that the argentine state committed with the originary populations in patagonia, and despite there is still a lot to do for those populations, our state included their rights in our constitution, and all the governments must take note of their demands, in the last 9 years the situation of many of them improved so much, but there is still a big debt with them. Now my question is, did you do any historic reparation for arg., for having deprived it from the islands in 1833?, of course you didn't, and you won't, but unless it would be better if many of you, including your politicians study more, and search more information before making such ignorant comparisons, like what you often use to do.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 03:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your argument that Spanish collonists “mixed” with the natives in order to establish an indepdent (which suggests they did for a “love” of an indepdent nation) is as nonsensical as me suggesting that the hundreds of thousands of Indian Sepoys who fought for the British Army and East Indian Company against other indian kingdoms (India was only united as a single nation under British Rule) in collonial Indian did so out of a “love” for the British. The truth is that in both cases the natives were forceabably recruited to fight for their oppresors, (By forced I mean threatened, bribed or did so due to escape the poverty of their former lives). If it was the case that they did so out of “love” why did the Nation of Argentina (founded in 1816) continue to collonise natives lands right up to the begging of the 19th Century (Conquest of the Desert 1870). In addition if there are foreign companies who are respoisbile for the evictions then why is the federal or provisonal govenments not preventing this from happending? YPF (the government owned oil compnay) are currently developing the Vaca Muerta Shale gas reserve in Southern Mendoza and Neuquen in an area only collonised by Argentina in the 1870s and therefore the rightfull propoerty of the those evicted from the land at that time (this is the same argument used by the Argentina government in the Falklands). Remember also that rights for the indiegnous people of Argentina were only incoporated into the Argentine consitution in 1994 which were based on provicinal laws dating back to 1985, prior to this they had no rights.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your entire post is drivel. Argentina was created by colonialism. The native people's have no voice. The Argentine government is allowing this to happen, by ignoring the law in favour of profits.
This is now so widespread that the UN has noticed. Argentina is ignoring its own laws and denying these people their human rights.
As for the Falklands, well neither you or any other malvinista has been able to put forward a credible argument regarding Argentinas claim. And no matter how much you try to deny it, Argentina wants to colonise the Falklands, which is against the wishes of the only indigenous population the islands have ever known, and therefore illegal in international law.
@49
Sep 19th, 2012 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0First off I appreciate the cool and rational way in which you present your argument. However, please refrain from refering to people as ignorant have having a different view to yours. It is far more likely that different view points are not being made out of ingorance but of an examiantion of different data. I would doubt you are as well informed on the British arguments and evidence in the same way i doubt I am as well informed on the Argentina evidence and arguments. It is througth an examination of the two that we reach a better understanding, an understanding that is only inhibited by calling the other part ignorant.
Whilst I agree with you the two situations are not entierly the same the point is that similarties can be drawn between the two. For example you state that the Argentine government has helped to repatriate certain indigenous people, however they have only been given their land back they are still subject to the laws, regulations and governmental systems of the Federal Republic of Argentina i.e. they have not been granted the right to truelly re establish themselves as a people in a comparaiable way to that which they enjoyed priot to Spanish collinisation. You may not be aware that the Islands also have a constitution which guarnatees the rights of all those living on them regardless of race, creeed, sex age etc etc and that Argentines are permitted to live and work on the Islands (in fact at least one Argentine citizen does) they are allowed to own land in the same way as any other islanders. In this way should those who were “evicted” in 1833 (and this is far from an established truth, with evidence existing to suggest that over 50% of the population remaining after 1833 where of Argentine descent) they can and are guanteed the same rights as British citzens, however they are required to live under the laws of the islands in the same way as the Indegnious population are required to live under the laws of Argentina.
Trolls dont cloud the subject as usual. We are talking about NOW, CURRENT POLICIES...not the USA killing Indians or Australia being horrible to the Aboriginals...this is HISTORY.

Is the okay to dispossess people of their land because of capitalist progress? In fact, many Argentines are constantly criticising the former British Empire for just so acts, yet fail to connect those acts with what has happened and is happening in Argentina.

You say: “Why should the UK discuss handing back the Falklands when you wont discuss handing back Patagaonia to the natives to whom it by the Argentines own UN arguments it belongs to.”
There is nothing to discuss about “handing back”, all the historybooks tell me that the Falklands were never Argentine in the first place. Whereas discussions about handing Patagonia back is an issue between Argentina and the natives, if any are still remaining.
@49 You stupid, ignorant liar. I call you that for a simple reason. You appear here from time to time spouting your garbage, but you NEVER provide evidence of your assertions. Even your ridiculous “survey” is simply a re-hash of peronist propaganda. Here's a few FACTS for you. Britain landed and established settlements on the Falklands in 1690. That's provable because the Islands were named after the 5th Viscount Falkland who financed the expedition. There were no other human inhabitants. The French didn't arrive until 1764. Britain claimed the Islands in 1765 by right of prior occupation and possession. That established British SOVEREIGNTY. In 1766, Spaniards BOUGHT the French settlement. That's it. They just BOUGHT it. Next came the Falklands Crisis of 1770-1771. Spain sent FIVE frigates and 1400 troops to force the British from the Islands. Britain mobilised for war. The Spanish caved in, restored all British goods and chattels that they had seized and paid compensation. The British returned. British sovereignty re-established. In 1767, Britain evacuated its settlements for economic reasons. Sovereignty was NOT relinquished. In 1820, a bunch of colonists of the Spanish Empire, in rebellion against its lawful government, sent a pirate to the Islands. Legal? I think not. After the BRITISH government gave permission for a commercial venture on the Islands, the “businessman” became a pirate. The U.S. government sent a frigate to remove the “expedition”. Too stupid to get the point, the rebel Spanish colonists tried to start a penal settlement. But the garrison murdered its commander on arrival. And Britain returned to re-establish law, order and British rule. Only FOUR of the “settlers” left with the illegal colonial garrison. Reparations for a bunch of criminal rebellious colonial trespassers? Lucky they didn't get shot! We left that until 1982. How do you see Round 3?

I Was trying to present the argument from an Argentine point of view in order to highlight the hypocrisy of the Argentine governments position over the islands. I.e. that the Islands belong to use because they were stolen from us, the people are welcome to stay there as long as they live under our laws but that the land we stole off the indigenous population is there land but as we stole it off them they must continue to live under our law.
Appologise if this didnt get put across in a clear way.
Malvinas Argentina has always being set aside for the Mapuches to set their own community there, UN should be more worried about Libyans, Afghanistan and Iraqis as well as muslim women and children who are being executed and their land is thefted by enlish speaking terrorists and UN members weapons. Isn't the UN responsible for the execution of Muslim children all over the globe?? We have to give credit where credit is due and Argentina is far from all this claims made by UN if there is any true in UN claims is that UN is in fact guilty of the extermination of Muslims everywhere. The day UN stops killing Muslims to theft oil we will let mapuches legally occupy malvinas Argentina. Untill then we can play the blaming game for ever since UN kills muslim people all over the globe every day. Notice all the supporters of UN statement in this blogs are English terrorists, there is nothing to learn here. It's all the same UN and british rhetoric. British couldn't make this statement themselves because of illegal aliens in Malvinas Argentina and UN thinks they have a higher moral ground when in fact killing Muslims is not legal even if UN executes muslims every day, they're still guiktynof murder. So is a murder going to tell Argentina whatnot do???? I don't think so.

Sep 19th, 2012 - 05:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“and consider our claim like colonialism”
That's because Argentina's claim IS colonialisation.
It is the planned subjugation of people who do not want to be Argentinian= colonialism.
That's why all the people's of countries colonised by Great Britain were given independence because they did not want GB ruling their countries.
But Argentina colonialised Patagonia and stole it from the native Indians.
Britain has surrendered its colonies to the native people it has colonialised, Argentina has not returned the land to the indigenous natives who still inhabit Argentina.
Argentina has NO strong claim to the Falkland Islands and it cannot have been dispossessed as Great Britain claimed the Falklands from 1690 and settled in 1765.
You have never, ever, proved that the events in January 1833 were other than a British re-affirmation of sovereignty and you continually deny (though this is proved by documents from the era) that half of the settlers allowed to stay were from what is now Argentina.
Argentina or the United Provinces of the River Plate were not in existence in 1765.
However Argentina has an option. It can try to colonise the Falklands by force with help from that muppet Chav, and loose its navy , airforce and airfields in the south during the attempt.

Latin American has the highest levels of inequality in the World.
This is total nonsense. The are no such evictions taking place. The indigenous peoples of Argentina have been recovering lands since 1996, started by Carlos Menem and based on a reparations plan envisioned by Juan Peron in the 1050's. A plan that he was not able to implement since he was overthrown. The last major recovery was that of the Wichi people of the Chaco under the Kirchner Adm. They received land, a home, and a tractor to work the land, including free advise on farming from INTA.

Straws - grasping.
Dale farm! People illegally squatting on someone elses's land, and breaking the law by refusing to obey a court order. These very same people who refused to pay rent to the owners of the land, despite the fact that THEY owned huge tracts of land in Eire and didn't need to be in England.
Not dispossessed of their land, as it wasn't theirs to begin with. Definitely not native to the land either since they were Irish and not English.
The comparison is therefore meaningless.
I have many views on Wales, my paternal great grandfather came from Abergavenny, just as my mother came from Eire, but you'll have to put your mentioning of Wales into context by actually making a point.
The other two you mention are in South America and will directly affect indigenous populations, which is why I'm against them, and donate to organisations like Greenpeace, WWF, Amnesty international etc...
I'm not against progress, it's the fact that the views of the native populations are continuously ignored and sidelined, and they are robbed and given little or no compensation.
So again, I trying to understand just what point you are trying to make here? And why you believe that these 'examples' somehow negate the deliberate eviction of native Amerindians by the consent and/or inaction of the Argentine authorities?

These travellers then decided to stay and they put up illegal structures, which is against the law without planning permission from the local government. The owner asked them to take them down and move on, they refused, so he took them to court. Hence why they were evicted.
You cannot be evicted from your own property. These travellers, by the way, we're very rich and own huge amounts of land in Eire, that they could've settled on, if they so desired, and built as many structures as the local government in Eire would give them permission to.
You accuse me of discriminating against gypsies!?! That's a lot to glean from one post, isn't it? You must be really knowledgeable, all those books you have read by merely looking at their covers.
Gypsies, new age travellers and the like are welcome in the UK. Most councils put aside land that they can camp on while they are temporarily in the area. However, they are still subject to the same laws as everybody else, not above them.
Anyway, nice try at deflecting the thread. Back to the topic at hand. Argentina abusing the human rights of native Amerindians, by dispossessing them of the small amount of land that they were allowed.

Indeed. A typical britain has to apply for planning permission from a household extension above a certain size, to a house, to a factory, or offices. People do not have free reign to build what they like where they like, pandamonium would be caused if this happened. The Dale gypsies that no pemission.
The amerindians have lived in the forests for countless centries and that is their way of life. If they choose to move out then that is up to them but they should not be shunted around and denied their heritage, any comparison with Dale farm is laughable.
I don't know if planning permission exists in Argentina, maybe someone can tell me. I was having dinner with a wealthy Argentine at his estancia. It was a beautiful building, old colonial style but new. He told me he did not have planning permission to build but 'you just had to know the right people'. An interesting system.

“Among 6 Latin American and Caribbean countries indigenous men earn 40-65% less than non-indigenous men”. If we therefore take your own figures from the US and chnage them to percentage change we get:
Whites ( non Hispanics) : +/- 0%
Hispanics : -32%
Blacks : $ -43%
Where as in Latin America the same stats would be:
Non-indigenous: +/- 0%
Indigenous: Min -40% max -65%. mean 52.5%.
The figures quite clearly show Latin American has a greater degree on inequality in incomes based on ethninticty than the USA.

120#you are quite right but you are not right that I am trying to change the subject.I have said that Argentina has and is dispossesing the indigenous people.In the case of Pascua Lama they are doing so for minerals.In response to this action people on here claim it is necessary for the mineral and progress.The people on this post that criticise Argentina for these actions,defend the forced removal of people in England because of planning laws.And without going into the normal treatment of gypsies and travellers,among others,why can't England accommodated their way of life.I am not convinced that you would agree that Pascua lama,Belo Monte and other projects should not happen.Tell me are you in favour of the Belo Monte project and do you believe there are alternatives to the continued destruction of traditional lands of the people who benefit the least from the loss of their traditional lands.

ISLANDER1: You are right, civilian population wasn't expealed, in fact they were invited to stay, perhaps there are people now in the islands whose ancestors were argentine people who used to live in the islands in 1833. However what you don't say, is that the united provinces were deprived of exercising it's rights over the islands, i know that there is a big controversy with the historic aspects, that's why i have always said that the best that we can do, is to investigate, because both parts omit information, not only in the bibliographies, but at the u. n too. In my two investigations i tell what is omitted by both, but i am cheking it all again because i realised i committed some mistakes when i translated it, beside, i realisedd also that i haven't dated completly some of the sources, thats' why, when i finish cheking, i will offer it again to everyone, and i'll send it again to all the people who already has it.
ENGINNER: The fairest fact, would be to give the originary populations all the lands that were stolen to them, but maybe thats' imposible, for being honest, i dont know. But unless our constitution includes their rights and demands. Respecting the historic facts that involve the malvinas question, read what i typed for islander1.
UN bias stand is shameful, the KKK was at least consistent. I guess if Argentina had a nuclear defense program dropping bombs on Libyan muslim civilians would be okay.

Israeli War against Palestinian Children
by DR. ELIAS AKLEH on 09/19/2012
The Israelis were not satisfied with the mere occupation of Palestine, the evictions of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of their country, the annihilation of Gaza Palestinians through a choking economic siege and frequent aerial bombardments, and the continuous confiscations of Palestinian land and the demolitions of their homes in the West Bank, so they had developed a very oppressive anti-Palestinian children policies, that are aimed at intimidating, terrorizing and traumatizing Palestinian children, whose families dared to stay in the country. These policies, that seem to be part and parcel of the racist expansionist ideology of the state of Israel and of its army, aim primarily at driving Palestinian families out of the country for the sake of their children's future, and secondary to traumatize and terrorize Palestinian children while very young so that they would not dare grow up into revolting young men.

Mass Gypsy eviction looms in Essex
Dale Farm residents warn of “ethnic cleansing”.
According to the travellers, although the land is classed as green belt, it was a concreted scrapyard before they moved on to it. They say they each pay on average £950 in council tax per year, and allege that the refusal to grant them planning permission, far from being anything to do with the green belt, is driven by an undercurrent of prejudice from local politicians

Sep 20th, 2012 - 08:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0i looked at your article,which has well known points.
my point is that ;
“” First comers almost take it all or majority “”
unlike in Northern (Anglo)America,land in almost all south America countries was not widely distributed to individual landowners,elsewhere in Latin America ,countries began with an “” oligarchic landholder system “” that left most of the population economically depend on small,wealthy Europe origin elites.Eventually this structure produced many populist regimes around,an example is Peronism ( a succesful backlash to this structure came in the form of labour unrest that propelled the populist Peron regime to the power.... Populist demands have overpowered more conventional policies for decades on and ends,resulting in Argentina's slow and irregular decline for nearly a century ..let alone to solve income inequalities ..--- similar scenarios had been seen elsewere in Latin America countries...)
“” First comers almost take it all or majority“”
but,in Northern America, the structure quicly jumped on to industrial movement and following financial accumulation that owning from Europe origin elites.
A member from lower “” later comers “” races/ethnics must have qualified education to jump into upper class ,must go to Ivy League colleges ,should pay ~ $50.000 ...but how ? by $ 30.000......$ 50.000 median incomes ?..not possible.!..then well come to the Indian style “” caste system “” !
now,
which structure is more easier to climb in society and jump up the upper social class for a member from “” later comers “” races/ethnic origins ?
of course that
it is more easier ad softer in Latin structure than northern.
You're right, this issue is so current and important that it needs serious discussion in its own right, now; not by reference to history.

Santa fe-are you not listening to this thread.It seems like you are only picking out the parts you want to.I think,for the fourth time of saying,I have already criticised Argentina for these actions.You are not following this thread or you are stupid.The reason I have got on to gypsies and other groups,is to highlight the fact that is a global issue.Europe is only 70 years from standing by and watching the systematic extermination of gypsies.Do they show the lessons learned or do they continue to perpetuate discrimination.

Sep 21st, 2012 - 06:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Occurrence to the stealing of natives land in Argentina is laughable. dale farm was a planning breach, simple as that. you cannot develop /build on agricultural land or green belt designated areas. gypsy travellers buy agricultural land which as you would understand is extremely cheap compared to developable land. They the start building without planning permission.
second point and one you may of missed is these are not indiginous natives and are as the name suggests travellers, most being from ireland the accent gives it away. anyone in the uk can buy agricultural land but nobody can build houses on it unless they have gained planning permission.
This article doesn't mention gypsy planning breaches in uk it mentions Argentina stealing native land!!

The topic is:
“UN calls on Argentina to stop eviction of indigenous peoples from their lands”
The article is the result of a visit to Argentina by theUN rapporteur which said that Argentina had taken significant steps to recognise the rights of indigenous people.However there are still major(major) short comings.In the 2011 annual report Anaya said that one of the major issues facing indigenous people were the extractive industries.Argentina has mineral resources and is therefore more visible in putting the needs of capitalism to satisfy its resources needs than the UK.However this does not mean that Argentina is a significant abuser of indigenous people.It means that it is an abuser.
Sep 21st, 2012 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is a need I think to understand what is being said by Anaya.There is also a need to come up with some solutions.Is Barricks correct to continue to pursue its intentions on Pascua Lama or not.It is inescapable that indigenous people who occupy a remote and harsh environment will have to suffer the greatest deprivation for this project to go head.But,just like Brazil needs it's hydroelectricity to power it's productive units,Capitalist corporations needs its mineral component to produce its profitable goods.
It is all good to highlight Argentina,and ignore what is happening globally.I'm sure the slag heats of Wales were a consequence of the need for coal.Pascua lama is to have its major impact in Chile.The Maori of new Zealand are subject to marginalization.The native Americans are subjected to marginalization,poor health care,educational deprivation and discrimination.The traveller community of England suffer the same negative treatments there.
If the traveller people set-up homes and their children live there and attend school,isn't that a good thing from the settled communiy's point of view?Are they not to be allowed a decent education?Why is the situation of the gypsy and travelling people off limits in this current thread?Is it because the posters on it are mainly English and they don't want to discuss what their wealthy country can do for its people

There are several fallacies in your post:
1) Not all the evictions of indigenous peoples in Argentina are due to mining, most are due to taking land to pland soy. These are all backed by the Argentine Government.
2) Pascua Lama. Barrick BOUGHT a consession from the San Juan Government, backed by the Argentine Government, to exploit the minerals in the Pascua Lama area, the two Governments involved should have dealt with the affected indigenous peoples before SELLING the consession.
3) The Moari peoples of New Zealand are NOT subject to marginalization, they have the same rights and obligations as the immigrant population.
4) Native Americans in North America have the same health care as all North Americans, the same access to education and are no more discriminated against than any other minority.
5) The Gypsies and travellers in Brittain recieve pretty good treatment because all Local Councils are obliged to provide camping areas for them.
The UN found that the Federal Government and many Provincial Governments have been infringing the law (26.160) by allowing evictions of indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. The evictions are for the use of the lands either as agricultral or mining/oil/gas production. This COLONIALISM!!!!!!
Hahahaha, and what will the UN do about it? What will the Brits do about it?

You are always screaming about the 'Europeans' and blame them for everything. But this is pure Argentina. And people like you, who blindly support the government, are party to all that they do.
You ask what the UN can do. Well the UN could impose sanctions against Argentina until the evictions stop.
I know what you're going to say. Argentina doesn't need anyone. You always say this, then a few posts later you contradict yourself.
But however you look at this, Argentina is showing the world that it is an aspiring colonial power, ignoring the rights of natives, stealing their land etc.

The question is not my hypocricy, but yours:
1. you know very well every single lonely country in this part of the world (anything west of the Azores), commited the same crimes you seem to accuse Argentina of being unique in dong.
2. you also know very well Europeans have never actually apologized for their colonialism, and actually defend it with outrageous logic like “well, we brought you railroads and perfume”, as if a minor right justifies a cyclopean wrong.
3. The UN has no sovereignty whatsoever on Argentine soil, and we can do what the fuck we want. And you can't do shit about it.
To use “simple” language to understand. Whether what goes on is right or wrong is another matter, but in terms of the UN, no they can't impose sanctions because there is no evidence of human rights violations, and even if there were, they are on a very minor scale and commited by private or non-government entities (ranchers, corporations, an occassional municipal authority). Since it is not a national policy, the UN can't do squat about it.

Sep 22nd, 2012 - 02:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0”Everyone does realize that the word “colonization” is derived from “colony”, which in turn comes from Spanish “colonia”, which in turn was as a coined term taken from Colon (the Spanish last name for Columbus), to describe any settlement OVERSEAS (term also coined in the European genocidal era).“
Then I am not a member of ”Everyone“.
The word ”colony“ is derived from latin ”colonia“ = ”farm“ which in itself comes from ”colonus“ = ”farmer”.
Later (still latin) it became the word for a settlement created by people migrating from a home territory.
The first Roman colonies were located on the Italian peninsula, same as Rome, on land that been conquered by the Roman as early as the 3rd century BC.
The first Roman colonies we know for sure were in Latium, very close to Rome, next came Ostia (today a suburb of the city of Rome), Antium (about 56 km south of Rome), and Tarracina (about 56 km southeast of Rome).
So much for Columbus and Xxxxx_Telling_Troll's knowledge of “colony”.

We are not force to do nothing; we support the claim of our indigenas, maybe not in the perfect way they want -

Argentina also profited from the Germans, and gave many Nazi's refuge after the war, being paid for in stolen money, stolen from the people they murdered.
As for owning money. Argentina still owes the UK a lot of money. No sign of Argentina honouring any of it's international debt though is there?

One day Argentina will be a respected nation but untill they remove all the dictators it is not going to happen for a long time. Now is the time for the real people of Argentina to start telling their next generations the truth. Stop the propoganda they enforce on their people and start acting like they are a people that the world can once again live alongside. If they don't they will sink deeper into isolation. I am sure that is not the desire of the vast majority of decent Argentines.

The report requests “the suspension of all process and administrative actions to evict indigenous communities from their lands until a full technical-juridical procedural survey of lands occupied by the indigenous peoples is completed”.
That's what the article says that the UN says.

Additionally, they are imposing their own economic sanctions on the FI and encouraging others to do the same.
Further, they now claim the oil and fishing resources of the FI, as their own, and Argentina's navy has harassed fishing vessels within FI fishing grounds.

In the same way as the Falklands Islands, Argentina is also occupied by non-traditional people who occupied the land under the protection of a colonising nation. The difference is that the Argentine non-traditional people drove out or otherwise suppressed the traditional people who were already there.
And as we all know well here, the land or islands, whichever you wish to call it, have ever belonged to Argentina, and almost certainly never will as long as you are completely incapable of developing a consistent rationale for acquiring them.

What are you going to do about defending the rights of the native amerindians? You are a native Amerindian today, aren't you? Or are you now descended from european colonists? It's difficult to tell with you Tobias, as you change 'your allegiance' depending on which insane Argentine policy you are trying to defend.
@228 - Yuleno
Still trying to derail the topic whilst your government still abuses the native Amerindians?
Your government that still denies basic human rights to these natives. The same government that want to steal the land off the Falklanders and deny them their basic human rights.
Pathetic.

Sep 25th, 2012 - 07:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why are you changing the topic your brought up? Does the UK do, act, and behave the way it bosses around others to do yes or no (hint: I have a bunch of links to post here to disprove should you say “yes”)
As for my background I have said it a million times I'm not European. Otherwise I would have killed myself long ago from disgust and gag of such filthy genetics.
I'm not here to debate the policy, I'm here to remind everyone Argentina can do what the fk it wants within its territory. And there is not a quark any of you can do about it.
The policy itself is a matter I discuss internally, not with outsiders.
Besides, discussing protection of natives with a Brit renders me into uncontrollable laughter within seconds.
232#I have to agree with your laughter when the subject of human rights comes up with a Brit.But LEP is Irish.Well by birth he is,and he knows about the famine,but since he join the British army,he doesn't know what he is, immigrant or native.
Sep 25th, 2012 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0LEP it's a bit stupid to keep saying what is Argentina doing about the indigenous people.Its what the article is about-
The problems of Argentina’s indigenous stems from the “historic de-possession of vast tracks of their lands by ranchers and the big farming, oil and mining corporations which operate in the lands claimed by these communities” which lack “a legal acknowledgement of their lands according to their forms of use and occupation” concludes the report presented by Anaya.
That's from the article.Theres no question that nothing is being done.As you know laws and regulations have force.When the owner of the land is evicted because the neighbours don't like them that is a bad thing,and Catholics in ulster know all about that.But in Argentina the situation is not that problem and it is a question of taking cognisance of the situation of the indigenous people.

Perhaps there is only one of you, a professional La Campora troll writing with 2 identities, perhaps ? LOL
“Yuleno” - great pantomime “explaining” to “TTT”.
Or was it the other way around? You are so interchangeable and you follow the same script!! :-D
Anyway, the Brit part is irrelevant.
The UN is telling YOU,Argentina, to address their human-rights issues, TODAY.
It is in your power, you have agreed displacement of indigenous people's is immoral, yet you are trying to ignore the UN.
Now that you are in the world spotlight, can Argentina wriggle out of fulfilling their moral duty???
Hypocrites.
The UN is not telling us anything. The UN is a puppet of the UK so of course they don't say anything about the abuses of the UK.

The UN is telling YOU,Argentina, to address their human-rights issues, TODAY.
Where is it saying that?
It is in your power, you have agreed displacement of indigenous people's is immoral, yet you are trying to ignore the UN.
Who agreed it was immoral?
Now that you are in the world spotlight,
Not in the world,maybe in your world.Keep a sense of proportion about things instead of getting things wrong.
Argentina must address this matter and it is doing.Quicker would be better,but we will and not because of anything Brits say.Since you gave up your empire your significance has declined.Did you not know that.

Thanks for that. I guess you are conceding that the UN recommendation that UK “negotiate” with Argentina for Falklands sovereignty is not something to “take seriously ”either. LOL
