It's called the rule of law.

They, Argentina, issued the bonds under the jurisdiction of the US courts, those courts have spoken.

What? It's okay to cherry pick which laws you obey.

They might think that's okay in Argentina, it's not okay in the rest of the democratic world.

I've read some of those articles in “specialised” magazines and newspapers. Mealy-mouthed gobbledegook. Mostly avoiding or mis-stating facts. Few if any references to natural justice. Argieland deliberately set out to perpetrate a scam against people in little position to fight back. After 12 years we are seeing some justice. All the wailing about the effects on international debt restructuring are so much waffle. What other “country” would dare such a clearly corrupt and criminal activity? If argieland had dealt with investors honestly, there would be no problem.

No arguements there, totally agree with you. Why are these countries moaning about debt restructuring? Do they see themselves a few years down the line wanting to do the same? If you borrow money and do not pay it back you are likely to find the bailiffs coming round and taking property to the equivalent value. MAN UP LATAMS

I don't know why insignificant countries always try to rally other insignificant countries around them against the world powers.
It is like a class of children disagreeing with the teachers and the principal.
It doesn't matter, nobody cares, grow up..
Silly people still don't realize they lost

“Argentina has reason on its side”

Yes its reasons, not anyone else's.
