Ban Ki-moon emphasizes on the 'freely expressed will' for non-self-governing territories
According to the UN charter the full measure of self-government of the peoples of the Non-Self-Governing Territories must be the result of the freely expressed will and desire of those peoples, said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his message to the opening of the Pacific Regional Seminar on Decolonization, currently taking place in Managua, Nicaragua.

Jun 01st, 2016 - 09:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do we know the wishes of the Falkland Islanders ? I think so.
Of course we could always have a re-run of the vote under the auspices of the UN. Would that satisfy Argentina...probably not. The UN suits them when they think it agrees with their demands. Here is a chance to settle it.

To save you the problem (thanks Terence, you are correct) the fourth option is any other arrangement suitable to the people of the NSGT. So the status quo is an option. Problem is so many of the members of the C24 have a vested interest in their own colonial/separatist issues they refuse to address themselves to the fourth option (India/Kashmir, Indonesia/Ache, Iraq/Kurdistan, Russia/Crimes, China/Taiwan & Spratleys, Tanzania/Zanzibar, Syria, Iran, Morocco/W Sahara....the list goes on. The Terms of Reference of the C24 is to assist the people of the NSGT. The established patters of the C24 is to ensure that absolutely nothing happens that damages the domestic position of the members of the committee.

As for the Royal Navy being at the bottom of the South Atlantic - during the Falklands War you managed to sink 4 RN ships in the meantime the glorious Argentine Armada dashed of to port never to be seen again as soon as one (just one) of it's ships had been sunk.
As of 19 March 2016, (note 2016 not 2011) there are 77 commissioned ships in the Royal Navy. 19 of the commissioned vessels are major surface combatants (six guided missile destroyers and 13 frigates) and 11 are nuclear-powered submarines (four ballistic missile submarines and seven fleet submarines). In addition the Navy possesses a landing platform helicopter, two amphibious transport docks, 15 mine countermeasures vessels, 22 patrol vessels, four survey vessels and shortly will have two rather large Aircraft Carriers.
The UNGA has no right to give or refuse independence to anybody as they are only an advisory body.
Before you post anything else on any thread do try to at least get some of your facts correct.
Do have a nice day
kind regards.

Jun 01st, 2016 - 09:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's a pity that legal rights take precedent because that means Argentina is shit out luck. Since they had ignored two UK diplomatic protests and by acting unilaterally meant that by their 'silence' they had acquiesced to the UK's claim. Moreover, they had entitled the UK to act unilaterally, and to reciprocate Argentine refusals to even engage in discussions on the matter.
'As late as 1886 the Secretary of State found it necessary to inform the Argentine Government that as “the resumption of actual occupation of the Falkland Islands by Great Britain in 1833 took place under a claim of title which had been previously asserted and maintained by that Government, it is not seen that the Monroe Doctrine, which has been invoked on the part of the Argentine Republic, has any application to the case. By the terms in which that principle of international conduct was announced, it was expressly excluded from retroactive operation.”

In recognition of this fact they refused to make any determination over the disputed areas between Argentina and the UK. So the only legal determination which has been made is by the ICJ in the 'North Sea continental shelf cases' which puts a kibosh on Argentine pretensions, so the UK has already won the issue.
I wouldn't bandy about the word piracy as the UK has never engaged in it. Whereas, Argentine agents Jewett and Vernet engaged in well documented acts of piracy.

Jun 02nd, 2016 - 12:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Fact 1: The principle of self-determination- ie what BankiMoon was talking about - people,s freely expressed wishes is enshrined in the UN Charter.
Fact 2: the Com of 24 has NO legal or international power - it is a talkshop and makes recommendations up to a larger group- the 4th Committee - which tends to treat them with the contempt they deserve.
Fact 3: the only UN organisation that can issue binding declarations and requests to a country - is the Security Council- it has NEVER done so to the UK re the Falklands. It DID to Argentina over the Falklands in April 1982 - and Argentina ignored it.
Fact 4: No other nation gives tangeable practical backing to Argentina over their claim - just words.Even Ur with its no FI flags on fishing vessels was carefully worded so same vessels can come into port with the UK or Spanish ensign flying-which they are entitled to use!
Fact5; the 2013 Referendum in the Islands was observed by politicians from a range of nations NOT involved with the sov issues and all signed the statement that the vote was free and fair 100%.
Fact 6: The UK does and will continue to defend our right of freedom to choose our own Govt.

”The Secretary General added that according to “the Charter of the United Nations and relevant General Assembly resolutions, a full measure of self-government can be achieved through independence, integration or free association with another State. The choice should be the result of the freely expressed will and desire of the peoples of the Non-Self-Governing Territories”.
Jun 02nd, 2016 - 08:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0It would be hard to find a more decisive affirmation for the rights of the Falkland Islanders to determine their own future. These words are from the leader of the United Nations, the same body that Argentina and its sycophants have consistent misrepresented in support of their bogus sovereignty claim.
The Secretary Generals words support in full what the Islander's, the British Government and the more erudite posters on this site have been saying for years.
The fact that some of the usual 'malvinas' suspects have crawled out from under their rocks to continue to try and argue the toss and defend the indefensible is a sad indictment on the nakedness of their cause and of their (lack of) intelligence. They are a bunch of mental pygmies.
As for Argentina, if it is to recover any semblance of self-respect in the eyes of the world it must change its attitude and behaviour towards the Falkland’s. I am sure that Argentina wouldn’t want to be seen as a bully who is in breach of UN principles.
Bonapartism is correctly defined by its flagitious style, structure, and methods, not by its stated or apparent ideological premises or goals, but I won't linger on that. I predict that in the blink of an eye, people will generally agree that it is naive to think that Voice, V0ice, Vestige, Think et al, sock-puppeteer and impersonator extraordinaire wouldn't spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, ignominious behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government if it got the chance. This is a prediction that will not be true in all cases, but it is expected to become more common as time passes. Voice, V0ice, Vestige, Think et al, sock-puppeteer and impersonator extraordinaire doesn't want to acknowledge that the dynamics of the situation are such that those of us whose reason and honor have not been vitiated recognize that its worshippers constitute the only species of animal life that is both mammalian and invertebrate. In fact, Voice, V0ice, Vestige, Think et al, sock-puppeteer and impersonator extraordinaire would rather block all discussion on the subject. I suppose that's because its methods are reliably unreliable. Let me try to explain what I mean by that in a single sentence: If the past is any indication of the future, it will once again attempt to champion censorship in the name of free speech, intolerance in the name of tolerance, and oppression in the name of freedom. Our task, then, does seem to run counter to a deep-seated tendency for human beings to react with fear and even hatred to differences, whether those differences are real, created by Voice, V0ice, Vestige, Think et al, sock-puppeteer and impersonator extraordinaire, or imagined. For those of you who believe as I do, our task is to brush away the cobwebs of nosism.

Just as Clyde said we enjoy having a go at each other right up to the point somebody from outside starts and then.........you know the rest

In case you had not realised it, that happened 100 years ago.
As to the English, Irish, Welsh and Scots - some I will like and others I may dislike. Heaven knows, I may even like some Argentinians but from the evidence of the posters here, that is unlikely if they are ALL of the same ilk.
I say think doesn't like anyone but himself.
Typical Argentinian, all past and no future.

You are confusing him with facts which at variance with his own twisted opinions.
Squatter Think causing trouble again.
Jun 06th, 2016 - 09:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Must be an Argentine trait(squatting, trouble-making & losing! lol!).
Get over it Think, you lost.
Mr Think, you should have cited William Wallace, in the end he got stretched to far and ended up gutless.

A festive tradition....
Sorta like the salmon up Glen Massan...

I added TM, it stands for Total Moron - that's me!
I think it suits me. V0ice (with a zero, zero voice) was too close to the bone.
Total Moron is more apt.
PS
MuppetPaster, thank you for the advice on re-branding.
I am working too mach too early. I am too tired. It is tough life to be CARTONERO PATRIOTICO

Jun 07th, 2016 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0What do I think...?
Whilst I'm flattered that so many people feel the need to emulate me...
The net result of all this copying and multiple logins is a diminished pool of contributors to the forum...
Whilst you may think that posing as me and others somehow affects the validity of the posts, it only annoys and confuses genuine contributors...
...to the point where they consider it not worth the effort...
Less contributors means less views...less views, means less advertisers...a point will be reached where the site becomes unsustainable...
That is what I think....
malvinero, please seek help.
Jun 07th, 2016 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0you need your injections desperately.

Jun 07th, 2016 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ok. I will leave your band of flatterers alone if that is what you think best.
My tuppence worth: the genuine contributors don't leave only the puppets.

Jun 07th, 2016 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh... it was you, I thought it was V0ice again...
Was momentarily confused...in that case feel free...
Only you have the ability to do an exact copy no spaces, I'm not entirely sure how, without hacking the site host (GoDaddy)...or privileged access (Mercopress)
With great power comes great responsibility....
Just use it wisely....as everyone thinks I'm talking to myself...

Jun 07th, 2016 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes... it was V0ice at 59 and me at 64.
When a puppet engages in self flagellation it is more likely than not the hand of MuppetPaster at work.
Self imposed rules of MuppetPasting limit intervention to cases where poster would be banned or demoted on a normal internet forum.
