Dear Susana,

unfortunately you don't cut the mustard aS you need to brush up on that ole mythical Malvinas usurpation and UN resolutions before being considered for such an important role. This should help:

PS nice to see that the Argentinean embassy in London have been taking an interest. TTFN

The website of the Argentine Embassy in London has a section dedicated to “Acuerdos bilaterales entre el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte y la República Argentina desde 1823”. This list is quite comprehensive - however the most important “acuerdo bilateral” has been omitted, perhaps purposely.

The omitted “Acuerdo Bilateral” is the Arana-Southern Treaty, perhaps the most important of all.

I wonder why?

Portugal is Brazil. It's hard to support another candidate.

“Malcorra, along with her peers in the Mercosur, has been trying to find a solution to the ongoing tensions over the rotating chair of the Mercosur. As part of that conflict, Caracas has expressed concerns about her bid to lead the UN”

Her own ideology has turned around to bite her in her fat Malvinista ass!

Nothing has been ommited...
Number six in the Embassy's PDF file...:
”CONVENCIÓN PARA RESTABLECER LAS PERFECTAS RELACIONES DE AMISTAD ENTRE LA CONFEDERACIÓN ARGENTINA Y SU MAJESTAD BRITÁNICA (1849)”

Nabo No. 7

The peace treaty with the British is referred to the Arana–Southern Treaty. This is NOT mentioned on the embassy website. It must be in order to draw attention away from its Article No.7.

Educate yourself...

The 1849 peace treaty between Argentina and the UK, signed by Mr. Felipe Arana and Mr. Henry Southern is called in English..:

”CONVENTION TO RE-ESTABLISH THE PERFECT FRIENDLY RELACIONS BETWEEN THE ARGENTINE
CONFEDERATION AND HER BRITANNIC MAJEST (1849)”

And in Spanish...:

”CONVENCIÓN PARA RESTABLECER LAS PERFECTAS RELACIONES DE AMISTAD ENTRE LA CONFEDERACIÓN ARGENTINA Y SU MAJESTAD BRITÁNICA (1849)”

@9 Whatever YOU choose to call it! I choose to call it by its more correct name “The Arana Southern Treaty”.

However, its article No.7 is generally interpreted as Rozas agreement to British sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and, in fact, for many years afterwards no Argentine claims were made.

Whatever YOU choose to call it!...

Question is...:
Is it or is it not ommited from the Argentine Embassy section dedicated to “Acuerdos bilaterales entre el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte y la República Argentina desde 1823”.?

In my view it is misrepresented on the website of the embassy in London as it is not shown with its more familiar title.

Your post @16 futile? Not at all - just very droll and funny!

You seem to have missed the point of my @2 - still as most trolls go you are quite amusing! If you can't see the point then I will not go into complicated explanations as they will, no doubt, be well over your head!

The document you accuse the Argentinean Embassy to ommit is just there in its place..., in its full lenght..., in the correct cronological order... and under it's OFFICIAL English and Spanish title...

Sin embargo, y en comparación con los otros trolls, sos bastante divertente.
No obstante, si todavía no podes entender mi punto, no vale la pena usar razonamientos más complejos que, indudablemente, superarían tu capacidad intelectual...
