Disclaimer & comment rulesSo the sovereignty claim is supported by Uruguay but they are not treating a trespasser like a criminal, a persona-non-grata or just someone to be completely ignored. Yes, everyone is behind Argentina on this. 100%.
Sep 05th, 2013 - 05:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0GFace They just don't want to rock the boat and upset Argentina and cause them selves unnecessary problems. So its easier for them to continue to tell Cristina that they support her and whatever else she most wants to hear at the time about the Falkland Islands (Sorry cant remember that funny made up word you use for them) and then sensibly they will cut a deal to get rich supporting the hydrocarbons industry there, while quietly developing their relationship with the Falklands. You know Argentina could have made a fortune in place of Uruguay from this oil! It's such a shame that you guys can't eat pride and foolishness because as a nation you would never be hungry!! Oh and no, of course no one is 100'/. Behind Argentina this is Latin America everyone see dealing with you lot like a recurrent bad headache that make you feel nauseated.

There will be no change in Uruguay's “position” about the Falklands until Mujica has gone.
Sep 05th, 2013 - 09:17 am - Link - Report abuse 05 Probabaly no change then either as these folks like Chile have to live alongside their neighbours - would not want here squealing in my ear over the phone all the time either its realistic for them to pay lipservice and a few meaningless statements in public - and get on with real business quietly-a good example of this being the ship flag issue - in same breath as barring FI flagged ships they Ur Govt said it of course does not ban Brit red Ensign flagged ships - they of course knowing full well that any FI owned ship on FI Registry is also entitled to fly the Red Duster - so not a problem - just one flag swapped at the limit line for another! I think the Spanish FI registered ones just put up a Spanish flag likewise!

Cornish, Steve my apologies for error. @1 Gface If anyone has a legitimate claim to the islands apart from the Islanders themselves, it is Uruguay so just get lost.
Sep 05th, 2013 - 12:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In order of who has the strongest sovereignty claim to islands, it would go something like this:

Sep 05th, 2013 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and according to the UN ICJ it is the islanders right to self-determination that prevails.
Legal Issues Involved in the Western Sahara Dispute - the Principles of Self-Determination - Committee on the UN 2012
According to the ICJ,
'a state's right under international law to acquire the territory of another sovereign state or a non-self-governing territory, again the will of its people under the theory of 'historical ties' is severely circumscribed. The theory cannot support the annexation of the territory of another sovereign state. When applied to the territory of a non-self-governing territory the requirements are strict; it requires proof of continuous, important and formal ties of a political and economic nature in the few instances in where it has successfully defeated the right of the inhabitants to self-determination.'

'Claims Falklands and Gibraltar have similarities “huge” according to Spanish Foreign Minister -
The Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, Montevideo confirmed on Thursday that there is “huge” similarities between the claims of his country by Gibraltar and Argentina over the Falkland Islands, but that does not mean that they adopt the same strategy.
“The similarities are enormous,” Garcia-Margallo said during a press conference in Montevideo, where he arrived on a working visit. -
“There is absolute agreement on three points,” he said, listing that “Falklands and Gibraltar are territories subject to decolonization”, “are territories that do not apply the principle of self-determination but also the principle of territorial integrity” and that “the disputes should be resolved through negotiation of the countries involved. ”
“If planteásemos resolutions on Malvinas Gibraltar and in these areas the two countries for consistency would vote that resolution,” he said...'

No one pays any attention to the UK...well a certain loony old European hag 'leading' (chuckle chuckle) a South American 'country' seems to give the UK (and its BOTs) ALMOST HER UNDIVIDED ATTENTION!!!!!
So how irrelevant does that make Arjuntina?
Vast amounts of Russian money floods into London...oh can you imagine how the British people weep at this? Chelski fans must be slashing their wrists!
To all...When malvinistas post on this site, with their inability to process documented history, logic, common decency, UN documents, or apply ANY sort of universal justice, does anyone think that they actually think they are promoting the Arjuntinean expansionist cause to the neutral observer?
I can't see it. Thank you to:

Am illegal usurping force made up of murderers and rapists-ten of which you may remember were executed by the Buenos Aires authorities.
The civilian population was not expelled-that is your problem chey, it was allowed to stay, (including your hero the murderer Rivero, who agreed to stay under British rule in 1833).
@20
Britain is “just a small island … no one pays any attention to them”,
I remember Galteiri did indeed pay no attention to ' the small island' in April 1982........ With hindsight perhaps he should-I mean there was just the slightest, tiniest little clue in the form of about 100 ships sailing towards the South Atlantic a few days after the Argentina invasion.
Still, no need to pay attention to that, was there?
@24 Thanks.
@27
”Richard Sawle, the British liar (cheat) usurper”
Who has he thrown out of the Falklands?
Perhaps you would like to relate his lies?
What has he lied about?
@27 and if he's such a fraud where are the arrests? The deportations? The extradition to his country of residence where all these crimes against humanity happened, aka Argentina? Oh yes. He's done nothing wrong. And nobody, cares about your lie of a claim when the rubber hits the road.
