Disclaimer & comment rulesPolite and correct - well done, Mr Hague!
Feb 04th, 2013 - 07:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0If Timerman continues to reject a meeting then “on his head be it”! Dreadful lack of respect!
Well, it is simply rude that the man demands discussions on the islands and when offered discussions he simply rejects them based upon some curious requirements he has. The UN called for talks, he rejected them.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 08:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0The matter is now closed, and the man is simply rude and uncouth.
Well he is pretty well buggered for the next time he goes to the UN and harps on about this again. What's he going to call for, the UK enters into talks? Duh!
Feb 04th, 2013 - 08:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0mans a plonker!
Well, we have offered them talks, after the referendum in March we should completely wash our hands of them.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 09:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well said Mr Hague.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0The next time this Argentine administration go whinging to the UN, the UN should remind them that the UK was willing to talk, and that Argentina didn't want to. Then they should tell them to STFU, and stop wasting everyones time.
Never mind, in March the results of the referendum will be in, and the UN can tell Argentina that their mythical land of Malvina's does not exist, and that only the Falklands exist, and until Argentina start calling the Islands by their correct name, they won't be allowed air time at the UN.
The truth is that if he wants bilateral talks then they should be between the Islanders and Argentina.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 09:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0In reality the UK is never going to forcibly remove the Islanders from their home. Mordern views on ethical conduct simply would not allow it.
And because Argentina uses political power to try and isolate the Falklands from SA, leaving the UK and EU would be a crazy move.
Which means Argentina does not really want the Falklands, it just wants a handy scapegoat.
Mr Timerman, what did you reply to the UK's offer for talks.

The Argentines want talks without any pre-conditions ..... errr with the exception that the Falkland Islanders can't be present.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0These people are simply not serious.
Timerman has not been very gentleman, the Lord Hauge was also very clever. Given the refusal of Timerman , Mr. Hauge should propose a bilateral meeting with the condition but not to touch the issue of the Falklands, have been better off ..
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0@18 This was offered to Timerman. The only condition was that if Timerman wished to raise the issue of the Falklands, the FIG representatives would be present ONLY for that part of the meeting.

Mr. Hauge had to exclude the Malvinas issue, receive and end point Timerman . It speaks highly of Hauge come a foreign minister and did not receive . I think I miss the touch .

This way, Haig can honestly say that talks were offered and have been rejected. Timerman can try raise the bilateral issue, but the UN never called for bilateral talks, just talks and has this involves the Human Rights of the Islanders, the UN is hardly likely to call for them to be excluded.
@ 21
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think the argument that human rights are not respected islanders is very weak. Their rights are respected by UK who will have the military occupation of the islands. Argentina has no power over you, therefore not requiring something corresponds to a country that does not have any decision about their rights.
there is no military occupation of the islands.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0the military occupations of the islands were all during Argentina's attempts to get hold of them. The last time was in 1982.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Having a military presence is not the same thing as an occupation, your flawed education system wouldn't tell you that though.
@24
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excuse my educational shortcomings, for understanding high levels of complexity of thought, the strange thing is that the Islanders are the only ones who think they have a high level of understanding, surely you are of a higher caste. My education is so poor that I can not afford to be a teacher in mathematics, which is why I decided to study law also. Excuse my intellectual poverty.
if you studied law you should be more careful using certain terminology... it was something that i was taught when i did law anyway....
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0so, as i said, there is no military occupation (as you well know).
the military are there by invitation to protect the Islands people from ANOTHER Argentina military invasion.

@25 - Xavierv
Feb 04th, 2013 - 11:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0You limited understanding is of your own doing. Like all fanatics you only believe what you want to believe, and will interpret statements in a way that you feel supports your stance.
We have seen this continually by you and others constantly harping on about UNGA resolutions.
If you actually bothered to read them, you would understand that EVERY single UNGA resolution made regarding the Falkland Islands state that the wishes of the Islanders must be taken into account.
Argentina walked away from the diplomatic route in 1982, when you illegally invaded and occupied British territory AGAINST the wishes of the Islanders.
You continually ignore the Islanders, and say that they have no human rights because they are an implanted population, conveniently forgetting that you yourself are an implanted population, so by your own argument you also have no human rights.
Xavierv, if Argentina's claim to sovereignty is so strong, why don't you take it to the ONLY international body in the world that can decide it, the International Court of Justice?
Three times the UK offered to go, and three time Argentina REFUSED. What does that really tell us about the legitimacy of Argentinas claim?
Also, you have (deliberately?) misunderstood the difference between occupation and a military presence, as Shed-time said.
A millitary occupation is against the wishes of the inhabitants, and military presence is with the consent of the inhabitants.
So as Shed-time correctly stated, Argentina's military OCCUPIED the Islands AGAINST the will of the Islanders, wheras Britains military is there with the CONSENT of the Islanders.
You'd think someone who had studied law would understand the difference, perhaps you didn't pass your exams.
A fanatic: “Someone who can't change their mind and won't change the subject.”
Describes you and your La Campora friends quite nicely, doesn't it?
You would think if the Island was subject to military occupation in 1983 when troop numbers were higher then the islanders would not have introduced liberation day as a public holiday that year.

Feb 04th, 2013 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Again more La Campora bollocks. By regurgitating the same old stuff makes you a La Campora troll. Never thinking for yourself. Never doing any independent research.
You are always stating how the whole world backs Argentina's claim, when they DON'T. You have never shown proof that they support you. A few empty phrases that are not backed up by action.
Lying is very bad for your soul, Xavierv, you should go and visit your Priest and confess about all the lies you've been telling.
Try answering the question I posted in my post @28.
If Argentina's sovereignty claim is so SOLID, why don't you take it to the International Court of Justice?
Come on Xavierv, you said you'd studied law, so you must know that the UK abides by the ICJ rulings, even if Argentina does not.
If you're so sure of your claim, take it to the ICJ.
But you won't, because you know that your claims are LIES, based upon more LIES, and if the ICJ rules against Argentina, you know that all your colonial ambitions are finished.
For 180 years the Falkland Islanders have lived on the Falklands. That makes them the native inhabitants, because there was no indigenous population prior to them arriving, not even a bunch of murdering, raping soldiers from the United Provinces, they arrived later.
Every year that passes by strengthens the Falklands rights to their own property and to exploit their own resources.
Every year that passes by sees Argentina's erroneous claims getting weaker and weaker.
No one supports you. You are on your own.
When push comes to shove the rest of South America will accept the Falkland Islanders, and be happy to trade with them.
Argentina, it's own worst enemy. Always looking at everyone else, seeing that the grass is greener, instead of tilling and looking after your own land.
It's pathetic.
Utterly foolish you are timerman.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@30. Now you are just being silly. The rest of the world does not share the views of the Argentine government. The country is so inward looking that you think it is significant; it is not. And just because Timerman says something, it does not make it true. If anything, you should disregard his ramblings and understand that 'the rest of the world' laughs when he speaks. The damage he has done to your country's reputation is immeasurable.

Feb 04th, 2013 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The government of Israel has rightfully protested the farce. Andres Oppenheimer of the Miami Herald fumed that the agreement is like “making a deal with a suspected killer to jointly investigate a murder.” He concludes that Argentina has irrevocably cast its lot with Hugo Chavez’s pro-Iranian stance.
Under Peronist President Cristina Kirchner, Argentina has flaunted the rule of law, dodged international debt obligations, and engaged in thuggish behavior in a desperate bid to intimidate the Falkland Islands. On the domestic front, the Kirchner regime is waging war on the independent media and has taken statisticians to court for speaking the truth about inflation rates in Argentina.
Once a solid regional partner, still a member of the G-20, and the third-largest economy in South America, Argentina appears to be hurtling toward intellectual, economic, and moral bankruptcy.

The simple fact is that the UK has offered and will continue to offer to hold talks with Argentina so long as it includes the Falklands Islands Government.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 01:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Everything done and singed by the UN recognises them and their rights, you will not be able to find ANYWHERE the claims by Timmerman that the UN as a body have even so much as hinted that the Islanders have no right to representation.
The only individuals WITHIN the UN who have said that are C24 members who are clearly in breach of their entire REASON for existence: to ASSIST the Falklands Islanders
Timmermans arguments are self-contradictory. He argues that the islanders are colonists and therefore have no rights, YET Argentine history details THEM colonising the lands in 1833... but...hang on! That means THEY had no rights either.
Also note:
”A number of states have laid claim to territories, which they allege were removed from them as a result of colonialism. This is justified by reference to Paragraph 6 of UN Resolution 1514(XV), which states that any attempt “aimed at partial or total disruption of the national unity and the territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter”. This, it is claimed, applies to situations where the territorial integrity of a state had been disrupted by colonisation, so that the people of a territory subject to a historic territorial claim are prevented from exercising a right to self-determination. This interpretation is rejected by many states, who argue that Paragraph 2 of UN Resolution 1514(XV) states that “all peoples have the right to self-determination” and Paragraph 6 cannot be used to justify territorial claims. The original purpose of Paragraph 6 was “to ensure that acts of self-determination occur within the established boundaries of colonies, rather than within sub-regions”. Further, the use of the word attempt in Paragraph 6 denotes future action and cannot be construed to justify territorial redress for past action.

They would still support the Islanders, traditionally Muslims are probably even more likely to not compromise on this sort of insane claims that CFK indulges in.

He even buys his children Easter eggs, and was very proud when his daughter was picked to play the Virgin Mary in the schools nativity play last year.
His father is a local councillor in Birmingham City Council. So hardly the isolationist people you claim them to be. They are British and proud to be so.

'Falklands Islands’ issue heated up by the press - Argentina's foreign minister has rejected a meeting with members of the Falkland Islands government in London next week. Hector Timmerman said the international community does not recognise a third party in the dispute, saying it is a matter between London and Buenos Aires. John Fowler is the deputy editor of the Falkland Islans newspaper the Penguin News. He gave his reaction.
It comes as no great surprise, honestly. One of the big problems we have is the fact that the Argentine government refuses to accept our legitimacy as a country. Some people talk about us as being part of Britain. And I would quarrel with that. We’re British. We’re British by our history, by culture, by choice, if you like. But we’re a British overseas territorty, not actually a part of Britain. And many of us have ambitions eventually towards the Falklands being independent, but we can’t realize these ambitions while we have a threatening and aggressive neighbor. So this is disappointing, because we do have things to talk about to Argentina, things of mutual benefits, like fisheries protection. Since the Kirschners came into power all those kinds of contacts which were useful to both sides, have ceased.....'

What you are saying is that you can't be racist because of the colour of your skin, which is absolutely bollocks. Anyone, regardless of race, creed or colour can be a racist.
Your objections to Muslims are also extremely racist. Your “objective fact” argument was used by the NAZI's in describing the 'Jewish' problem.
So in your own racist 'objective' fact is that muslims aren't the 'same' as other people and it's therefore okay to vilefy them as 'different' and therefore 'dangerous'.
Pathetic.
Can you answer this. If Argentina's sovereignty claim to the Falklands is so solid, why don't you take your case to the International Court of Justice?
Come on Xavierv, you said you studied law, tell us why Argentina has refused to go to the ICJ on three seperate occasions?
Surely you, with all your 'knowledge' should be able to answer that simple question.
And you can try and answer this one too?
Why is Argentina so afraid of the Falkland Islanders that you are scared to be in the same room as them?
“”“Why is Argentina so afraid of the Falkland Islanders that you are scared to be in the same room as them?”“”
Feb 04th, 2013 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Simple really: they have to admit that the FI exist.
The Islanders' existence causes Argentina MASSIVE problems in their attempt to colonise the area...not least their right to self-determination which, according to the UN General Assembly, cannot be trumped by historical claims of national integrity.
If the Argentine Government can pretend the Islands people do not exist, then they can chose to ignore LOTS of relevant international Law and UN rules and conditions.
By accepting the Falklands Islanders exist and ahve a say in the matter the Argentine Government surrenders a MONUMENTAL amount of influence and RIGHTS to them...
and the CFK government is shit scared of that.

Slightly on topic, did anyone read the article in the BuenosAiresLies and Pagina-1984 where Timmerman claims that the guardian did an investigation into the UK taking nuclear materials to the falklands and then dropping it all at sea?
Feb 04th, 2013 - 03:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0here it is
Timerman proceeded to divulge details of the visit, which will also consist of official meetings with MPs, with the “intention of explaining in London that the UN resolutions must be fulfilled,” and establishing whether the UK “has nuclear arms in Malvinas.”“Due to an investigation carried out by The Guardian, we found out that they took nuclear material (during the 1982 Malvinas War) but that they dropped it at sea,” despite “their repeated denial,” he concluded. [1]
Seriously, this doesn't get any less embarrassing for them, and with the trolly dolly demanding meetings without the FIG, suggesting the UK's conditions are bad, but their conditions are good, ... it's just hilarious.

Back on the topic:
Mr H is absolutely correct on his insistence that FIG be involved in any talks. He has destroyed the Argie position. For months now CFK has been insisting (1) on opening a dialogue as per UN general assembly resolution; and (2) that it is a regional matter.
Hague as invited Timmerman to talks and included those in the “region” most affected by any decision. Timmerman has walked away. It won't stop them banging their drum, but it severely damages their position.

So why does Argentina not want to abide by the rules that you promised to do, by signing a legally binding treaty?
Oh that's right. Argentina will only accept ICJ ruling if they are in their favour, and reject them if they are not, claiming some bollocks about sovereignty.
Isn't it fortunate that all the other countries who signed the treaty abide by the rules they promised to? I mean if they didn't the world would be anarchy.
So in your legally minded opinion, what gives Argentina the right to flout international law when no one else is allowed to?

Hague is doing the right thing, which is to suggest talks on terms acceptable to the UN and respecting the wishes and opinions of the Islanders themselves. Argentina turned down those talks because of their own reasons.
The rest is just noise.
I understand that it's politicly correct for secretary hague, to say that it's right and proper to include the govt. from the islands in a meeting with chancellour timerman, however, the reality of this conflict is much more complicated than his hipocrite and mediocre analysis.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would like to know if hague's proposal includes the question of the sovereignty, i don't think so.
On the other hand, this is evident that it's still necesary to remind hague, and many hipocrite people in this forum, who emphasize the wishes of the islanders so strongly, that the u. n. has never included the govt. from the islands as a third part, in fact all the resolutions just called arg. and the u. k., to resume the negotiations, and find a peaceful solution, if many of you don't agree with it, sorry but it's irrelevant.
Beside, it's necesary to remind you also that this cause, has always been considered like a special colonial situation. In fact, i recommend you AGAIN, to search in the news archive of this website, what the president from the decolonization committe said about the reasons why self determination is not applicable for this cause, the date is june 16th 2012, i was wrong in my others comments when i typed the date of the note. You can agre or not with what he said, however he is the president from the decolonization and committe, and like it or not, he has much more knowledge than we all, in order to argue the reasons why self determination is not applicable for the population from the islands, accept it or not, the u. k. is not the owner of the international right.
On the other hand, for being honest, i must recognize that i feel so ashamed, every time i hear some of our politicians saying that self determination is not applicable for the islanders, because they aren't an originary population, that argument is stupid, because most us aren't originary populations either, there are much more important reasons to explain why that right is not applicabe for this case.

I suspect that the entire Argentine delegation will be as disappointed as you - their entire itinerary was obviously designed to annoy the hosts & provoke a reaction they could play on. The mistake you made is to assume that every nation gets equally hysterical when provoked.
@100 your misuse of words is incredible. There is nothing hypocritical nor mediocre about offering talks to someone demanding them, only to be told that the talks aren't on their terms.Your own consititution says that only transfer of full sovereignty to the Argentines is an acceptable outcome of any negotionations, so why not look at your own constraints first.
Feb 04th, 2013 - 06:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only parties the UN asks to discuss this 'decolonisation situation' are the administered territory and the administering territory. Argentine is a third party to any talks on decolonisation and as such doesn't need to be invited. Discussions on sovereignty with the Argentines, called for by the UN, resulted in the Argentines taking the discussions to a military conflict which they lost.
Resumptions of negotiations are an anachronism since you lost the war, and the world has moved on to the Islanders seeking BOT status through free association and eventual independence.
You were invited to talks, and you turned them down because of your own reasons (we care not). Self-determination is fundamental to the UN charter, it's fundamental to decolonisation, and the time the Argentines tried to get it changed to be not-relevant you failed.
So, now you caused a war and turned down talks. You have no second chances, you just have nothing.
Feel ashamed.

UNGA 2065 is quite blunt in itself that the interests of the Falkland Islanders have to be taken into account. How can that possibly be done without talking to their elected representatives?
As recently as 2008 this was reaffirmed by the 4th committee...to quote directly:
“By the terms of the amended resolution, the Assembly would further reaffirm that, in the process of decolonization, there was no alternative to the principle of self-determination, which was also a fundamental human right.”
To add to that Ban Ki Moon himself further reinforced the fact that the UK is behaving entirely properly in regards to the Falkland Islands...
It doesn't matter how much you squirm these are the facts.
I'm glad that you agree your politicians are shameful in trying to undermine the rights of the Falklands Islands...but just leave it there. Treat others as you would be treated and respect the rights of the Falklanders as laid out in the UN Charter.

The old saying is quite apt here: If you give them enough rope, they'll hang themselves by it.
So this is what the international community sees.
1. Argentine ministers getting all excited and shouting and posturing.
2. The UK ministers acting calm, quietly and politely.
3. Argentine ministers getting even more excited, and angry because the British didn't respond in the way that they wanted too (so they could play the victim), and shout even louder and make preposterous allegations, that are so obviously lies it beggars belief that an 'official' from a country would make them.
4. The UK politely restates its position as being in line with the UN charter etc...
5. The Argentine minister starts shouting again, and starts telling even bigger lies, especially about the UN.
6. The International community realise that Argentina is run by basket cases, and realises that there is no way in hell that they should ever be allowed anywhere near the Falklands.
7. In the meantime, in the FCO, William Hague sips at his well deserved cup of tea. Job done, with minimal expenditure from the UK.
It's all very clever and subtle. The Argentines don't do subtle, so it goes completely over their heads.

Hague and Patriota, whose countries have opposing views regarding the disputed South Atlantic archipelago, addressed the issue during the inaugural meeting of the new strategic dialogue between the United Kingdom and Brazil decided during the visit of the president of the South American giant made to London coincide with the opening of the Olympic Games.
”We have long-established positions in our country over the Falkland Islands, and we have seen again today,” said Hague, whose country supports the right of self-determination of the people of this territory under British control since 1833.
Meanwhile Patriota said Brazil, like the rest of Mercosur, the South American countries and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), ”supports the sovereignty of Argentina and dialogue between Argentina and the UK under the auspices of the United Nations ....'

@147, well you might as well compliment Hague for flossing (though, being british, that would be a sight! :) What he did was plain baseline reasonable conduct for a foreign secretary, especially an British one. It was a British PM who was notorious for holding up a piece of paper saying “peace in our time” as Chamberlain & Daladier stuck it to the Czechs. No self-respecting head of state ANYWHERE, and that includes Argentina would ever be caught dead doing such a revolting and immoral thing again -- which is why Argentina and her cronies, be they married by shotgun geography or by childish and superficial south vs north prejudices, continue to look incredibly bad to people outside of their bubble with their insistence on having a second Munich agreement with the Falklands standing in for Czechoslovakia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland#Government
E.g. after a plebiscite in 1982 the Greenlanders decided to leave the EEC (now EU), while Denmark is still a member. They have also decided that their own language (Kalaallisut) is the only official language on the island.
25 November 2008 a plebiscite in Greenland the islanders decided to extend of their self-government.
The Danish government retains control of foreign affairs, national defence, the police force, and the justice system. It also retains control of monetary policy, providing an initial annual subsidy of DKK 3.4 billion.
I chose Denmark because that's where I live and the Danes usually never give the Falklands dispute one single thought - now peoples' eyes have been opened to the fact that Argentina doesn't respect the UN charter.

Accept it or not, the u. k. is not the owner of the international right.
U. k's monolitic excuse, respecting emphasizing the will of the islanders, to resume the negotiations with arg., is just colonial hipocresy, due to the u. k., arg., and all the rest of the countries know perfectly that the govt. from the islands has never been included as a third part in this dispute, beside, if you get into the website of the u. n., you won't find any resolution which says: application of the right to self determination for the population from the malvinas-falkland islands, like there are for others colonial situations.
On the other hand, if the u. n., has never asked the u. k. to return the islands to arg., it's because in some way, the wishes of the islanders must be taken into account also, in order to find a solution for this conflict, that's why i have always expressed that their wihes, and our sovereign claim must be taken into account to find a solution.
Our constitution can san say whatever, however, if the u. n. has never asked the u. k. to return the islands to arg., although the u. k. decides to resume the negotiations with our country, and the islanders manifest that they want to remain under british govt., arg. won't be able to force them to accept our sovereignty only, but it doesen't mean that both countries can't find a solution that satisfies the three govts., like a shared administration of the archipelago.
On the other hand, i have no idea about why our govt. hasen't answered yet some of the proposals of th govt. from the islands.

This is the most pertinent legal view on the question of the sovereignty and the Islanders right to self-detrmination that I have found.

Until it is determined where territorial sovereignty lies, it is impossible to see if the inhabitants have a right to self- determination” (Dame Rosalyn Higgins, Problems and Process - International Law and How We Use It, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1994)
The British jurist Rosalyn Higgins arrived at a similar conclusion when she pointed out: “No tribunal could tell her [Argentina] that she has to accept British title because she has acquiesced to it But what the protests do not do is to defeat the British title, which was built up in other ways through Argentinas acquiescence.80” There was therefore little doubt that Britain acquired title to the Falklands by extinctive prescription. In other words, it was in this mode that the strength of the British claims resided.

Invasions have been illegal since 1919 under international law, and still are under the UN Charter. So that is a none-starter, although that didn't stop Argentina in 1982 did it.

It must be so frustrating to have had the shit kicked out of them in 1982, only to realise they have no chance to do anything about it other than bullshit.

Your rhetoric is exceeding hyperbole !
I suppose it would be one way of reducing Argentinian unemployment. Your body bag industry would be working overtime.

Feb 09th, 2013 - 09:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The paragraphes that you dated are very interesting, in fact, i had read them a few years ago.
For all these reasons, i have always thought that the case should be taken to the i. c. j., but for being honest, i hav always thought also that if neather the u. k., nor arg. propose to take the case to that institution, is because perhaps both aren't sure of getting a good outcome.
Between 1885 and 1888, arg. suggested the u. k. to take the question to the arbitration, which was rejected by the u. k., and in 1947, the u. k. manifested arg. that it would be disposed to take question of the south georgia and sandwich to the i. c. j., however, it didn't include the malvinas-falkland islands in the proposal.
All thes facts show that th case ha strong and weak aspects for both nations.
Boys don't worry would be a good excuse to test new weapons and if the +-15mts works fine.
