    @lslas mal...........& malen,
    What proof do you have that these islands are yours?
    No Argentines have ever lived there.
    We claimed them before Argentina even existed.
    As Argentina has expanded southwards, you have got closer to them.
    Proximity means nothing.
    You do not own them & you never will.
    ls there no limit to your greed?

    @1 Islas Malvinas
    Dumb Argy, the UK claimed sovereignty over South Georgia in 1775. The Argies claimed sovereignty over South Georgia in 1927. If that isn´t enough to make you realise, heres this. You lost a bloody war therefore, by INTERNATIONAL law, the Falklands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, belong to the victor(The UK) and not the bloody loser(Argy)

    The editor removes my comments without any justification and there is nothing offensive. I express my point of view.
    The editor removes my opinion unfairly just because of being Argentine.

    Malen Malvinas 1Isla and 3 are right. English is another usurpation Argentine territory like the Falklands and South Sandwich. You do not know absolutely nothing about history. Lee Resolution 2065 (XX) of UN 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 including South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and surrounding sea. Furthermore, the committee declares UN decolonization conflict as a whole by including them in their claims. Besides OAS, CELAC, UNASUR, MERCOSUR and other international organizations expressed their support for the claim clearly Argentino.

    Totally false. These are not locals. This is Argentine and Latin American victims of colonialism and imperialism English. Read a little history and you will realize.
    Moreover war does not give rights, as expressed by Carlos Saavedra Lamas Nobel Peace Prize 1936 for his role in resolving the conflict between Bolivia and Paraguay.
    Also in the South Sandwich Islands Argentina was the base Corvette Uruguay, founded before the Falklands conflict and unjustly expelled by English colonialism and imperialism.

    Don't care. The above is just a load of mumbo jumbo.
    Falklands, S.Georgia and South Sandwich do not belong to Argentina.
    There, I have adjudicated, end of discussion. !!

    Never mind. This is just a bunch of gibberish.
    Falklands, South Sandwich and non S.Georgia Argentina.
    No, I tried, end of discussion. !

    Pathetic and pitiful.There is no end of discussion!!.
    You give up easily. Faced with the basics and the reality of the facts, show that Falkland S.Georgia Sandwich Islands and belong to Argentina!.
