Argentina prepares strong diplomatic offensive to recover Falklands' sovereignty
Argentina is planning to intensify its policy to claim sovereignty over the Falklands and other South Atlantic Islands with a road map that contemplates three immediate objectives, reinstate in the Organization of American States the claim, resurface the legal threat against oil companies operating in South Atlantic (Falklands) waters and put pressure on the European Union so that a post-Brexit trade agreement with the UK does not include the Falklands in the list of Overseas Territories.

Disclaimer & comment rulesSo there back to the Old Fall Back Claims which Worked so well last Time, OH wait a minute they didn't Work then and are now Doomed to Fail again, a “Country that Fails to Learn from its mistakes in the Past is Doomed to Repeat those Mistakes !!”.
Aug 07th, 2020 - 09:41 am - Link - Report abuse +3Yet another pointless claim/story, the Falklands belong to the people who live there and that will NEVER change unless the Islanders want to change it, the islands were settled long before Argentina existed,

Aug 07th, 2020 - 11:00 am - Link - Report abuse +2Critics of the Argentine government’s strategies and rhetoric toward the Falkland islands have coined a new verb – malvinizar – to describe how the claim for and memory of the Malvinas is used simply to divert attention away from more serious domestic socio-economic challenges .
If the Argentines had an ounce of sense which of course they have not, they would steer clear of trying to put wedges between Europe and the Falkland Islands trade.
Aug 07th, 2020 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse +6They are forgetting the real importance of Falklands fish produce and in particular squid has in feeding the European people.
But of course that is what Argentina really wants is the fish stock we have. It must really be hurting them to see this very small country just four hundred miles off their coastline professionally managing their fish stock and finances. This little country with a mere 3500 inhabitants are shoving success right in the face of their neighbours failing economy that is debt ridden and wants to find new fortunes that we already successfully manage.
To interfere with the Falklands will be their final undoing , the world thinking has changed and no longer does it allow aggression or threatening behaviour towards another people.
We still have a very powerful economy for our size and Europe recognises the importance of our fish stock to their markets.
So Argentina be prepared to be disappointed in your current plans to derail a succesful Falklands European relationship.
Argentina's Government prepare to con the Argentine people yet again.
Aug 07th, 2020 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse +3What I find fascinating is the Argentines do not trust their government on any level or on any subject, except one. Over the Falkands, Argies appear prepared to swallow huge amounts of bullcrap dished out by successive governments. Perhaps they like the taste?

Think . Clutching at straws again are you. Same old usual. Argentina is about to fail monetarily yet again and you need a diversion. I feel quite proud to know that this tiny Country of ours is your one and only means to try and divert attention away from your devastating problem that is bringing the Argentine economy to its knees.

Karma works in very mysterious ways so you better start watching your back. We Islanders have done nothing wrong and that is why we shine at every attempt your Country makes against us.
Stop dreaming of how you are going to take back something you have never owned. Two hundred years you have been pushing this ideal and every time it comes back to bite you.
Next time you try your tactics this little Country has a bigger sting in its tail and you will get the just rewards you so seek. Total destruction of your economy and that is just for starters. Then what would follow then is an internal uprising and the indigenous people will one day get back all that you stole from them.
We are no longer afraid of your threats because we have learned in 200 years they are nothing but meaningless. We also know just what kind of people you really are in your government. Despicable towards a peaceful people .
You are fast running out of ideas and becoming a bigger world joke than you was before 1982.

Why not talk about initiating trafe and yravel links between the mainland and the islands? Why not have intelligent and adult discussions about easing your restrictions on any sort of interaction with the islands? Why not act as a grown up nation and accept that there is a very successful group of people living close to your country who could teach you a thing or two about developing industries such as fishing ? No , far better to continue bleating about “pirates”and “Colonialists” while your own country sinks lower and lower into economic chaos. You Argentines - Colonialists, in that you have displaced the indigenous peoples from their rightful lands - have occupied one of the potentially richest countries in the world and made a complete pillocks of it !

Your only eight years behind the times on the Chagossian issue.
20 Dec 2012
“The European Court of Human Rights has dismissed a case brought by Chagos Islanders claiming the right to return to their home in the Indian Ocean, bringing a long legal battle to a close.
The court in Strasbourg ruled that the islanders’ case was inadmissible because the applicants had already been granted due legal process in Britain, where their case rumbled on for three decades.
The ruling said that by accepting financial compensation from the British government in the 1980s, the Chagossians, who were expelled en masse to make way for a US military base, were no technically longer victims of human rights violations.”

“The ICJ’s opinion cast a much-needed light on the long plight of the Chagossians peoples. While this opinion was not binding, it nevertheless provided a comprehensive and authoritative statement on the existing rules of international law, legitimising efforts to return the islands to Mauritian control.”
Unfortunately, for those that want a happy ending both Mauritania, and the Chagossians have no further legal claims. As they signed off on issue, and accepted financial compensation.

Dear Merco Press,
Aug 07th, 2020 - 08:37 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Argentina cannot “recover” Falklands' sovereignty. You can only “recover” something that is yours.
Argentina had a claim to the Falkland Islands in the first decades of the 19th century but this was not accepted by Spain, from whom Argentina said it had inherited its claim. Instead, Spain had a consul at Port Stanley in the 1850s.
Moreover, it has been argued by several authors on both sides of the dispute that Argentina tacitly gave up her claim by failing to mention it in the Arana-Southern Treaty signed between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1849 and ratified a year later.
After that Argentina failed to protest over the Falklands for 90 years and the Falklands were not mentioned in the President's Messages to Congress.
The fact that Argentina revived its claim to the Falklands when it thought Great Britain might lose the Second World War or that it invaded the islands in 1982 does not amount to sovereignty.
So Argentina can claim sovereignty if it likes - and perhaps even “obtain” it one day - but it cannot “recover” it.
Poor, poor Shrinkbrain from Chubut is, after all these years of instruction, still unable to separate The United Nations from a UN sub-sub committee under the C4 committee. The sub-sub committee is named C24. Such sub-sub committees can express an opinion on a subject but whatever they may be led to believe, they have no influence on anything but their free lunches.
Aug 07th, 2020 - 08:51 pm - Link - Report abuse +4One can wonder why Argentina is investing so much of its resources in the so called “Malvinas Question”. Do they (or their government) really think they will achieve something? The only results are: 1) Making the Islanders even more (if possible) anti-Argentine. 2) Convincing the U.K. that it is necessary to protect the Islands with a rather large military presence in the South Atlantic.
Aug 07th, 2020 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse +4In the world outside Argentina and some of its Latin American neighbors this is a “Non-question”. It is never even mentioned in mainstream media, at least where I live.
All this seems to be for domestic consumption.

Aug 07th, 2020 - 11:21 pm - Link - Report abuse +5First time ever???? The C24 Falklands resolution is always adopted by consensus. Why? Because members have to be up-to-date with their fees in order to vote. They rarely, so they avoid having a vote. Nothing new there. Also, having failed to hear any representations this year, the C24 resolution appears weaker than usual. Not that it matters. The tradition is now that the C24, having adopted a Falklands resolution by consensus will NOT recommend it to the Fourth Committee for adoption by the General Assembly. That has been the way of it since the C24 were obliged to list their recommendations in 2004. As a result, there has been no UN Falklands resolution for 32 years.
The link here is to the 2019 C24 Report where, once again, they failed to list their very own Falklands resolution among the recommendations.
Of course, the real question is - Why the pantomime?

@ Pugol-H
Yes, the Chagos Islands”are literally sinking beneath the waves, but that's nothing compared to the fact, that there aren't any freshwater sources on the islands, no rivers, no streams, no springs.
The companies the indentured workers worked for, sailed freshwater to the islands when the rain water supply was insufficient. Today all the water, food and other essentials of daily life are shipped to the main island Diego Garcia.
Don Alberto
Aug 08th, 2020 - 03:52 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Both the UK and UN have done environmental studies which came to the same conclusions, rising sea levels mean increasing ingress of seawater into the remaining freshwater aquifers on the islands, the only source of fresh water, on what after all are coral atolls.
Such that now the soils cannot grow crops or even sustain grazing animals.
The UK has said it will hand the Islands to Mauritius once the Military base leaves, in approx. 20 years, if the lease isn’t renewed. Which I doubt it will be as by then the Islands will be well on their way in changing back to coral reefs.
Essentially at that point any “return” becomes Mauritius’s problem.
I don’t see any “return” being allowed by the British in the meantime, as they would not be able to survive there, the US has said it only provides resources for its own personnel on the base, they would not be “hiring” any local labour and they should not be included in any Chagossian re-settlement plan.
The military base was not the only reason for them leaving, it is usually ignored the fact that the Islands were rapidly becoming uninhabitable.
Just for once MrThink can we have a sensible answer from you to a simple straightforward question ? Forget all the puerile attempts at humour , just answer the question - do you accept that those who have lived and worked the islands for several generations have an absolute right to decide whether they wish to retain their links to the UK or whether they wish to become citizens of La Republica Argentina?

He tells a story, which no reason to not believe, that near the end, when Argy conscripts were surrendering by the dozens, they lifted a white flag.....the Brits left their cover to take prisoners, when suddenly some Argies got orders from a Colonel to open fire on the advancing Brits, killing a few. This revolted them so much, that after they'd rounded up all the Argies, they strapped a few grenades to the Colonel, pulled the pins and pushed him over a cliff. No charges were brought against them.
That's how you treat cowards and traitors....it has to do with honour....something that Stink does not even know the meaning of.

Aug 12th, 2020 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse -1What Colonel, what cliff, nah he tripped and fell on a mine.
Apparently there were a couple of “white flag” incidents, the only one I heard about was from a Para Cpl, who was there when one of them happened, he simply said “they were not given another chance”.
In most cases they seem to be relieved to surrender, the reports since then in Argentina of the treatment of some of these men, at the hands of their own officers, was appalling.
I was also told after the battle of Goose Green, and subsequent surrender, the Argy officers were asked to help identify their dead, by a British officer escorted by some NCOs and an interpreter, they said “no”, “Argentina knew who it had lost”, whatever that means. A Cpl then said “you lot are a complete f*cking waste of rations”, seems one of the Argys understood English and his hand went to his sidearm, the NCOs clicked off the safety’s on their Submachine guns, then he froze.
I have also heard from Argys several, second/third, hand accounts of brutal Ghurkha actions, usually involving cutting Argy throats.
They struggled to believe it when I explained actually Johnny Ghurkha didn’t see action in the war, the only Ghurkha casualty of the war was a Cpl of Engineers, killed during mine clearance after the surrender.

What I do know is true the Argentines treated the conscripts appallingly to the point they were begging for food and getting tortured and killed if cought receiving any from locals who felt sorry for them knowing they did not want to come here to force control over our British way of life.
Aug 13th, 2020 - 10:16 am - Link - Report abuse +1Some had previously lived for awhile with their families during the time that the Argentines had their fuel deposits and civilian air service in operation.
Many of these young boys would break down and try to apologise to those who offered food to them.
The truth is Argentine hard line dictators had no idea of the way we peacefully lived our lives. They believed we were put here against our wishes and it was a rude awakening when they discovered that we actually did not want to be Argentines and that demoralised them.
Today we still have hard liners who try to taunt us not because they want the islands but because Britain gave them a beating and they still hurt from that.
Personally feel that if it were not for these few that bear such a grudge Argentina and its economy would be in a far better state than it is now. Their election are held with the intent one day they will own the islands while little effort is given to fixing their failing economy.
Can you wonder why no islanders want to be a part of that instability of 65 billion of foreign debt. No one in their right mind would sacrifice wealth for poverty.

”The Principle of res judicata before the International Court of Justice: in the Midst of Comradeship and Divorce between International Tribunals
Aug 14th, 2020 - 10:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The current predicament of res judicata reads as follows: unquestioned recognition but unpredictable application. The ICJ has continuously pondered over this principle, always acknowledging it under very similar terms, though enforcement has followed diverse and rather obscure criteria. This article strongly favours the finality of judicial disputes and argues that the ICJ has been unable to define the precise scope of res judicata, thereby allowing considerable space for interpretation and tolerating re-litigation. This lack of clarity will likely become more acute in cases allegedly settled in a different judicial forum. Indeed, the Court’s broad subject-matter jurisdiction, make it the perfect venue to pursue a second decision. In light of the foregoing, this article proposes general guidelines for the ICJ to predictably carry out the triple identity test—persona, petitum and causa petendi— and effectively determine whether an issue was disposed of by a previous ruling, hoping that comradeship will prevail.

”Res Judicata, Precedent and the International Court: A Preliminary Sketch
Aug 15th, 2020 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The doctrine of res judicata is perhaps most frequently seen as a general principle of law, imported into public international law by virtue of the operation of Article 38.1c of the Statute of the International Court. Professor Lammers reminds us that during the deliberations of the Advisory Committee of Jurists, appointed by the Council of the League of Nations to draft the Statute of the Permanent Court, Lord Phillimore noted that:
the general principles … were these which were accepted by all nations in foro domestico, such as certain principles of procedure, the principle of good faith, and the principle of res judicata…[1]
The validity of this claim was expressly endorsed by Judge Anzilotti in his dissenting opinion in the Chorzów Factory (Interpretation) Case,[2]
and is supported by publicists who have paid particular attention to the normative category of general principles, such as Cheng,[3] Mosler[4] and, of course, Lauterpacht.[5]
