A leading ally of President Mauricio Macri's precarious coalition in Congress and chair of the Lower House Foreign Affairs committee, held another special session to address the September UK/Argentina Joint Statement, which she argues is not an “accord or treaty”, but nevertheless strongly questions the South Atlantic chapter which calls for lifting economic sanctions on Falklands' trade, fisheries, connectivity and oil development.

Last week..., our resident half sqidllonaire Kelper commentator..., Mr. Jo Bloggs..., said the following...:
- “What this MP article doesn't go as far to say is that the Argentine Government has confirmed that they will now recognise and deal with the Falkland Islands Government as of this week.”

Dear Argentina, you have never legally owned the Falklands therefore your claim is spurious.

The concept that Argentina had inherited the Falkland Islands from Spain is false. The law of the time did not accept inheritance without settlement and stated that 'an unopposed settlement of some years was necessary” before sovereignty was accepted. (The Law of Nations, Vattel, Cpt XI, p337) Vernet had sought acquiescence from the British consul in Buenos Aires on two occasions before establishing “his” colonies and the British protested when he was appointed military and political governor by the BA. Authorities. Jewett had no settlement. The concept of uti possidetis juris (inheritance of Spain) is only customary international law, applicable to those who choose to use it. Great Britain, France and Brazil have never opted to use uti possidetis juris and UPJ has “never” be used in “any” court or tribunal without the consent of both parties.
There is ample evidence that this has been the mode of applying / not applying UPJ over the past 150 years:

You have 'NO CASE'.

Boo!

How childish in their world of fantasy .. The infamous Malvinas anthem “himno de Malvinas” was sang for the first time during 1941, when the first plans to invade the Falklands were also made . ..At the time when the Argentine fascists and Mussolini's disciple Peron himself saw great opportunities to come by British properties as London was being bombed, to their dismay London didn’t fall.
During 1946 Peron began the indoctrination of his people according to the New Argentina of Peron doctrine “La nueva Argentina de Perón” which enforces the brainwashing of the children filling their heads with lies. Peron hadn’t been able to steal the British infrastructure of Argentina nor the British territories on its borders.
After two generations this fascist policy generated a war where the young Argentines thought that they were fighting a just war about causes that went back centuries, when in reality they were fruits of the wise guy or “vivo” Peron who with his fascist colleagues had invented it all in 1941. They resurrected the situation which had been resolved by the Arana Southern Convention of Settlement ratified by both countries in 1850, after which all Argentine maps reflect this fact, putting the Falklands and the Chilean islands Picton, Nueva and Lenox also claimed by Argentina for “political” reasons outside Argentina. All the “claimed” islands by Argentina were well outside Argentina’s own maps, now illegal in Argentina. These maps were partly why Chile won TWO international arbitrations not recognized by Argentina.. this is also why Argentina doesn't recognize jurisdiction of the International Court.. this is also why Argentina refuses to go to the International Court. The first territory Argentina invaded in March 1982 was South Georgia, which it was invited to dispute in the International Court during 1947 to 1956, it preferred to use force rather than the magical rights it tells its children that it has: that can't expire, or be altered, or resigned to!

I was just looking for a reaction and by the look of your post on here I'd say I got it. Anyway, I still stand by what I said 100%

Poor old Think.

The Old Trolley Dolly, Film-me-now-before-I-burst-into-tears and some old twat, supposedly an Ambassador giving vent to it's not an accord.

So what? Even if it were it would be ignored by the 14M Peronista SCUM and the K-kunts.

And WTF cares what the argies say? You just cannot trust them, even Macri is finding that out big-time (as if he didn't know).

And so ends the story of Argenzuela's much-ballyhooed but ultimately vacuous attempt to “rejoin the world.”

'...and again denied the Falklands' self determination arguing Falkland Islanders were implanted by the British Crown and as such are ”part of the colonization process“.

So Filmus if you take away the Implanted population (your words not the UK's), you are left with an unpopulated island.....any new population would be implanted and a colony and therefore go against 2065. Don't think they he thought that one through.

2065 is not about sovereignty, it is about decolonisation. Two different subjects.

Or is Filmus suggesting that the Islands remain unpopulated from now on? Or is he suggesting you just take away the 'British' population but leave the 'non British', but they are still implanted aren't they Mr Filmus.....you really need to think that through a little better.

You can put a coat of gloss over the rot, but the rot seeps back through. I sincerely doubt President Trump will be indulging them the way Obama did.
