Jun 11th, 2018 - 08:33 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Argentina's claim comes down to a mythical inheritance - denied by Spain and not recognised by Britain. Revolutionaries emancipate themselves, they do not 'inherit'.

Voice - Inherit is the word that Argentina uses.
Jun 12th, 2018 - 01:37 am - Link - Report abuse +4Britain preceded Spain. Now it's interesting that you should choose this moment to raise this again. The latest (2018) UN Working Paper on the Falklands has been posted. I see that it includes the following:-
“the United Kingdom is clear about the historical position on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. British sovereignty over the falkland islands dates back to 1765, some years before the Republic of Argentina existed.”

'....having inherited the latter’s territories in the south of the continent, including the Malvinas Islands and the other islands in the South Atlantic, Argentina uninterruptedly exercised its rights by proceeding to enact legislation, establishing legal and administrative bodies to

and establishing a local administrative office, which culminated in the issuance of the
decree establishing the civic and military commandancy of the Malvinas Islands on
10 January 1829, with Luis Vernet being appointed as Commander'..
Really! They inherited other islands as well as the Falklands, so when did Spain first claim these other islands that Argentina inherited.......or is that just a bit 'viveza criolla' making it's way into a UN Document.
My grandmother was born on the Falklands. When she travelled to England she would leave on her Argi passport. The UK would not accept it so she would produce her English one. When she left UK to return to Argentina she would leave the UK on her British passport and in Argentina they would confiscate it. So she would produce her Argi one and no problem.

My son has duel UK / Belgium nationality, and he never has a problem using his Belgium passport to travel to UK, so I think someone is a little confused.

Argentina hasn't figured out that “territories” don't have rights; the people who live there do!
