Nov 29th, 2012 - 12:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you agree to take something to court, you accept that things mightn't go your way. To throw a hissy fit because the judge ruled against them is frankly childish and ludicrous. They knew the risks, if they didn't want that turnout they shouldn't have gone to court in the first place.

ever wondered why Argentina doesnt take its ”rock solid” case over Falklands sovereignty to the ICJ?
Now you know.
Ever wonder why UK does not have in its “rock solid” case for Malvinas sovereignty to the International Court of Justice?
Nov 29th, 2012 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0World public opinion has the answer:
UK fails to comply with international law by failing to comply with UN resolutions and the UN Decolonization Committee.
England bid to colonialism, racism and imperialism of the 21st century.
Everybody knows
@5 It's easy. Both parties have to agree to the court's jurisdiction. Argieland won't. They have refused more than once.
Nov 29th, 2012 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Last time argieland agreed to abide by the ICJ's judgement, they lost (Uruguay)! See the ICJ doesn't accept the legal argument ”But we're argieland (whine)“.
The UN Secretary General has officially stated that the UK is not failing to comply with anything it ought to comply with.
Besides, we don't need to go to the ICJ anymore. You decided to have a war, remember? We beat you shitless, remember? Call the Islands ”spoils of war”, OK. You lost. We won. The story is OVER!

Nov 29th, 2012 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Also, no need to go to the International Court of Justice already. He decided to make a war, remember? They beat him shit, remember? Call the Islands “war booty”, OK. Lost. We won. The story is over!
The story is not over!
Argentina suffered four British invasions (1806-1807-1833-1847). No one won. All lost in the war. The war does not give rights. (Drago doctrine).
Argentina claims his due by fact and law. Argentin
Remember that the specificity of the Malvinas 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. Therefore, the possibility remains of the principle of self-determination, as its exercise by the islanders, cause the “disruption of the 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 the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. ”
God help you

@5: Raul, we asked Argentina to go to the ICJ 3 times over the Falklands controversy and they REFUSED to go, so please research before posting.
Nov 30th, 2012 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0“1947: Britain first offers to take the sovereignty dispute over the Dependencies to the ICJ. Argentina does not accept.
1948: Britain again offers to take the sovereignty dispute over the Dependencies to the ICJ. Argentina declines.
1955: Britain unilaterally refers the sovereignty dispute over the Dependencies to the ICJ. Argentina indicates that it will not accept any judgement.”
@10: Boovis, the United Kingdom NEVER asked Argentina to go to the ICJ over the MALVINAS/FALKLANDS controversy.....
Nov 30th, 2012 - 03:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The “DEPENDENCIES” Britain wanted to “Discuss” did NOT include the MALVINAS/ FALKLAND Islands....
So please............. research before posting.
