When you think about Argentina and all their threats to the islands, all the peacock posturing, all the silly trips to the “Decolonisation committee” it makes you happy that it is this impotence that stops another invasion where folk might die, where the islanders might be used as human shields, where unmapped minefields are left for a generation.
If you ever worried about that impotence, whether the Peronists could muster another attack, you need look no further than dear old “Think”.
A cowardly keyboard warrior making snide, impotent comments from the safety of his hovel...but you know his Falklands fetish reaches no further....he'd run a mile if challenged in real life.
Be grateful that Argentina is full of “Thinks”. Not very bright, not very brave, not any danger.

Mar 14th, 2022 - 08:05 am - Link - Report abuse +2Continued evidence that keyboard warriors, who are a bit thick, but incredibly arrogant are all the islanders have to worry about.
You know there is no historic, moral, legal or any other Argentine claim to the islands, but your boredom allows you to spew nonsense on these forums day by day. Good luck if it keeps you happy...at least you are not sending badly trained teenagers to die for your “fetish”.

Mar 14th, 2022 - 05:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong, as to the Referendum the UN has stated nothing, and “silence in law is consent”, therefore the UN has given legal approval of the referendum.
Aren’t you absolutely the proven liar?

The UN has made no comment upon the 2013 Falklanders referendum. If it had, there would be a UN resolution disapproving of the event. As there had been in 1967 regarding that years' Gibraltar referendum (Res. 2353 (XXII).

Mar 17th, 2022 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse -2- It's evident that you don't wish to rebutt any of my comments to your above post..., kindly adressed to me...
(No surprise though..., due to the fact that both of us know them to be true...)
Besides..., as you perfectly know..., the UNITED NATIONS OFFICIAL POSITION today Thu., 17 mar. 2022 is...:
- The Falkland Islands (Malvinas)* has been on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories since 1946, following the transmission by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of information under Article 73 e of the Charter of the United Nations.**”
- *A dispute exists between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
- **At the 25th meeting of the Fourth Committee in the 1st session of the General Assembly, held on 6 December 1946, the delegation of Argentina made a reservation to the effect that the Argentine government did not recognize British sovereignty in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas). The delegation of the United Kingdom made a parallel reservation, not recognizing Argentine sovereignty in these islands.

- BTW..., exactly same current OFFICIAL U.N. POSITION as in 1946..., 1982... and 2013...
Capisce...?
No UN resolution since 1988, Trunk.
Mar 17th, 2022 - 01:07 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Would that be because the Decolonization Committee fails, every year, to recommend its own Falklands resolution for adoption by the UN GA?
As Douglas Hurd said in 1994, the matter is effectively settled.

Mar 17th, 2022 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse -1- Seems that the above British ex-copper wants to give you British Kelpers a British hand...
- Firstly..., he links to his very own British website containing some comments from a British Engrishman..., neither appointed or elected to the UNITED NATIONS but proud recipient of a British barony..., the “Most Excellent Order of the British Empire”..., the “Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council of the United Kingdom”... and British King George V “Order of the Companions of Honour”...
- Secondly and most important..., seems that your British ex-copper helping hand above has somewhere found that United Nations Resolutions have a “Best Before Date”...
Just ask him where... ;-)))))))))
Thirdly..., you Kelper Guys argument about that “Sixty Ethnicities Vibrant Malvinas” is much better than his...
Tænk 'bout it for a second...:
You Kelper lads just have to select some missing nationalities from the Exotic Mail Bride Catalogue and hooooray..., next year you can celebrate them “Sixty-Nine Ethnicities Vibrant Malvinas”
69...!
A true Win-Win situation...
Capisce...?
Trunks,
Mar 17th, 2022 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0UN resolutions can die. Either by changing circumstances, or by replacement.
Each of the annual resolutions after 1982, were replaced by that of the following year. Otherwise, they would be repeating themselves for no obvious purpose. The wording changed hardly at all from 1982 - 1984. However, that of 1985 was dramatically different in that it dropped all reference to previous resolutions - effectively killing them off. The wording used in 1985 was then repeated until 1988. Each years resolution replaced that of the previous year.
The resolution of 1988 was answered and negotiations held. Clearly, that result was to the satisfaction of the UN as there have been no calls for any debate or resolution since that time.
