Argentina's Public Defender's Office set out a booklet with a list of recommendations for the “adequate treatment by media” of issues linked to the sovereignty dispute over the Falklands/Malvinas, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and adjoining maritime spaces with the purpose of avoiding “inaccuracies towards audiences”.

    My goodness Argentina is becoming ever increasingly frustrated about those telling the truth so they had to write a guide for the already indoctrinated to make sure their brain washing continues to be effective.
    The facts are that Argentina cannot provide actual legal proof of ever owning the islands.
    It is merely a claim to own them.
    You would think that the Falkland islands is the most important subject in Argentina at a time when their economy is failing and they are struggling to repay a massive foreign debt.
    They have almost half their people living in or very close to the poverty line.
    Their currency is worthless.
    Their government is a criminal to it's own people.
    But the best part is that Argentina has a history of land grabbing that they dont like you talking about. Often saying it is not relevant to the Falklands issue.
    Truth is it is very relevant because the whole of Argentina was built on ethnic cleansing land grabbing.
    We on the Falklands have been the only territory they have been so far unsuccessful in land grabbing though they have tried several times and failed.
    This booklet is just another way of enforcing their lie.
    Genuine Argentines will see it in exactly the same way.
    It is clear that the people of the islands and others are getting their messages out and Argentina knows they are being rumbled.

    “the constitutional acknowledgement of the claim, because it is a case of usurpation and colonial status; information about an alleged self determination in a people that have been implanted...''

    'Usurpation'' in 1833 - what law was broken?

    So the Argentinians claim that the Falkland Islanders are 'implanted' and not entitled to self-determination true or false?

    The Argentine government issues a “guide” with “recommendations” to the media. It is of course a way to suppress other opinions. What happens if the the “recommendations” are not followed?

    The narrative of “the islands are Argentine, they were stolen therefore anything after that is not relevant” has been allowed to stand.

    As each reason given as to why they were Argentine have been comprehensively dismantled, but all that happens is the next fantasy is restated.

    There was no inheritance from Spain..any more than Argentina inherited Uruguay from Spain
    There was no Argentine community under Vernet it was a business, for most of the time under Brisbane
    There as no Argentine community under Mestevier it was a mutiny, a rape and murder for 10 weeks.

    of course none of that is in the easy read guide.

    By definition, any population that today exists on an uninhabited island is “implanted”

    They are keen to point out “ something that many ignore and which is that Malvinas belong to the province of Tierra del Fuego”.
    Maybe not so keen to point out that “ this territory remained under indigenous control until the nation's campaign known as the Conquest of the Desert in the 1870s [i.e. the murdering of at least 1,000 of the rightful inhabitants], after which Argentina organised this section in 1885 as a territory”, and that it only became a sub-prefecture in 1884, and not a province until 1990.
    In 1833, the Falkland Islands were almost 1000 miles from the Southern border of Argentina.

    Once again - if the taking of 1000 miles of territory by lethal force in 1870 was acceptable, then so was the bloodless removal of a temporary occupation of fewer than 50 intruders in 1833.
    If the events of 1833 were not acceptable, then it is also time that 1000 miles of Argentina was given back to the rightful owners.

    Argentina in 1810? Really? I guess it must be a typographical error. I have a copy of this wonderful document. It is a thing of wonder. I hope they bring it out at the next bash at the UN, or, better still, when they take their claim to the ICJ. It will make pleasant, light reading. How much did it cost? And how will they get their re-naming of key places ratified? I look forward, but I am not holding my breath!

    They are sad “that very few know what happened before the usurpation”.

    Its relatively straightforward. Argentina knew there were competing claims for the islands, they knew that the Vernet business had all but failed and that Matthew Brisbane, a Scot was currently managing the business on the island.

    So Argentina decided to cement its claim for the islands.

    They designated E.Mestevier the Governor of the islands and he set sail on the SS Sarandi which had a crew of 26 soldiers and their families.

    He arrived on the islands on October 6th 1832 and claimed the islands for Argentina.

    You could absolutely claim, at that moment on October 6th 1832, Mestevier was an authorised governor of Argentina on the islands.

    Unfortunately, Mestevier was murdered by the crew of the Sarandi, his wife was raped in front of their children, leaving no Argentine governor.

    Britain, who had a conflicting claim arrived on the Islands on the 2nd January 1833 and peacefully ordered the murderers and rapists off the islands. They had been there less than 3 months.

    I wonder if this actual history is the one the Argentine government want people to know?

    1810? Declaring for the Spanish King was hardly a declaration of independence. I suspect that it's there to try and get around the embarrassing reality that Spain only claimed one island in 1811. Rather confirming that Spain had recognised British possession of the western islands in 1771. Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant ;-)

    Don Alberto. Patagonia was conquered by Argentine Europeans in the exact same way Europeans and all other cultures have been warring invading and conquering the world left and right for centuries, with the different we evolve and change the form of doing so, as we see today our newest war caused by clever Americans in the same ol' British tradition of offending and insulting with sneaky “social and business encroachments” until people loose the plot and they get the war they so much wanted. No human has more right to be entitled a higher degree of sovereignty just because English speaking racist ideologs have decided to identify a “native original population” (of primitive people, right?) Brazil, America and the rest of the modern world was repopulated identically the way the old world was. So take you clever prejudiced aggression strategies and shove them up your ass. Huh? How about that?
    .
    Monkeybullshit; I'll tell you how I have always “called it”. I've always called it for what it is. An occupying Junta's desperate attempt to hold on to power in hopes they were in time to change their future reputation, completely fooled by the clever American/NATO British strategy of giving them enough rope and false sense of tolerance to hang themselves with. Which means those nine hundred people was the cost the US and Britain were willing to sacrifice to have the war they wanted and needed to have happen on the islands. That was was not caused by Argentina, who has always been under the phony understanding that the UN considers it a territorial sovereignty dispute. One need only to listen to the language used by Britain and the English language in general, during that time to understand it was a military conflict they turned into a one sided war full out war before the landing even took place, as today we have much evidence of many things Britain and America did in order to prepared themselves before acting like they were “shocked by the news”.

    Trimonde, you sure do talk a whole lot of bull. Trying to even sugest that Britain made the war before even the invasion is a new one.
    Who educated you. Oh I keep forgetting you are one of the indoctrinate ones. You only function when your buttons are pushed in the right places.

    You come accross as someone who has never come to terms with the fact the Argentine invading forces were denied the chance to steal yet more territory.
    After all the Argentine history is one of human greed and terrorism towards another.
    That is how you managed to expand the length of South America.
    You are a part of a history of ethnic cleansing.
    Your country had no legal right to attempt to establish themselves on the falkland islands back in the 1830's any more than the right to attempt by an aggressive invasion on 1982.

    That was an act against a peaceful people and Argentina should have been more punished than it was.
    Your country is responsible for the disappearance of tens of thousands of your own people and you can be sure in a short time would have had every native falkland islander disposed of.
    Your country is the lowest of the low.
    Almost half your people now live in poverty another crime against humanity.
    One day these good people will rise up and put down the government of destruction once and for all.
    They are living through far worse conditions than you attempt to make out the Falkland islands people are.

    Trimonde you are hilarious.

    Are you familiar with the works of Shaggy “it wasnt me”

    Invaded Patagonia (it wasnt me).......that was the “European Argentines”
    Invaded the Falklands (it wasn't me) ...“that was the Occupying Junta Argentines”
    Invaded the Falklands (it wasn't me)....“we were tricked by the British”

    In one hilarious rant you managed to blame everyone but yourself...the UN made you think there was a sovereignty dispute, the US tricked you into the war, but it wasnt you anyway it was the Junta, and Britain wanted to travel half way round the world to lose 250 men.

    If it wasn't so funny, it would be tragic.

    Or how about this, Argentina is built of colonialism, the Latino population is 97% implanted, they continued the colonialism through Patagonia...and it irritates your sense of inferiority to “The Anglos” that the Falkalnds are, and will remain British.

    The claim has nothing to do with Vernet, or Mestevier or an imagined usurpation. It has only to do with your racist hatred of the British, and a corner of the South Atlantic which has prosperity and no corruption. You hate the islanders for being more successful than you.

    So, YOU if you could would at best evict them, and at worst murder them if you could...because you want to show the British or the Anglos that you are better.....when of course all the Malvinas myth does is show you as far worse.

    Leave them in peace, the islands are not, have never been, and never will be Argentine...and if they were, Argentina would still be the same failed, corrupt, bankrupt Peronist cesspit that it is today....until the Argentine people want it to change.

LOL LOL ... you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust. What drugs in everyone on here!!? Maybe you're all just desperate to find things you can pin on Argentina, embarrased when you ponder on the contrasting difference to a country that actively has worked so industriously at keeping the world fighting or at war from three centuries already. Argentina does not arm anyone or encourage anyone to attack war or kill others nor much less their own people, like Britain and America do. Is that what you hate having to face? That you are the smelly Satans of the planet?
    As far as the war Britain made sure happened on the islands; do you actually think I made that up? No, a read material, I watched university presentations, listened to others discuss it on social networks. I use my mind freely to educate myself with 200 years of events that draw a perfectly comprehensive picture. While you, all you do is look for the right sounding defensive sentences on the spot, and repeat like brainwashed monkeys everything you are supposed to think of the world and its countries, to the letter.

    “The UN considers it a territorial sovereignty dispute”
    If they do they’re in the wrong business, as no such legal claim is available to Argentina.

    “There is a general principle, in international law jurisprudence, that claims may be extinguished by the passage of time.
    “The principle of extinctive prescription, the bar of claims by lapse of time, is recognized by international law. It has been applied by arbitration tribunals in a number of cases. ...
    The Gentini case PCA 1903...claims against Venezuela on the part of the Italian government on behalf of an Italian citizen alleging PAYMENT OF A DEBT THAT HAD ACCRUED THIRTY YEARS EARLIER.
    ”A stale claim does not become any less so because it happens to be an international one, and this tribunal, in dealing with it, cannot escape the obligation of a universally recognized principle simply because there happens to be no code of positive rules by which its action is to be governed.”
    Accordingly, Gentini provides historical evidence that, … the PCA(Permanent Court of Arbitration in 1903, identify that the applicability of a prescription period in international law. …
    Gentini’s … law can be seen as that contributes to the modern understanding of the doctrine as based on (i) national law (a sense that finality is proper), (ii) a GENERAL PROPOSITION THAT FINALITY IS NECESSARY, and (iii) the ethical-moral precept that it is somehow wrong or negligent for a claim not to be asserted within an unspecified, and perhaps undefinable period of time.

    So there we have it in your own words Trimonde - “you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust”. So you obviously think that the Conquest of the Desert, and the murdering of the existing inhabitants of Patagonia, was no big deal.
    So why do you think the bloodless removal of fewer than 50 people who had been in the islands barely 3 months was such a big deal that you are still bleating about it nearly two hundred years later.

    “What sovereignty???” The one you don’t have a claim to.

    'A State which has ceased to exercise any authority over a territory cannot, by purely verbal protestations, indefinitely maintain its title against another which for a sufficiently long time has effectively exercised the powers and fulfilled the duties of sovereignty in it.''(Theory and Reality in International Law, de Visscher, 1957, p201).

    “Where a State fails to lodge effective protests, which in the present era ought, if necessary, to include instituting international judicial or arbitral proceedings, against attempts at wrongful usurpation into sovereign territory, that …failure to protest, where a protest is called for, must have a detrimental effect on the position of the party concerned and may afford evidence of non-existence of title.”

Could you explain why that happened. Could you explain the tens of thousands of your own dissapeared. Could you explain why you had to borrow international money.
    Could you explain why you cant pay it back.
    Could you explain why half of your fellow countrymen women and children are now living in poverty.
    Could you explain in what you claim as Argentinas democracy you keep electing such vile governments that are syphoning away the money your country dont have.
    Could you also explain why your country invaded a peaceful neighbour called chile to grab more land.

    Don't worry..., Trimonde...

    Them Anglo Brainwashed Turnips in here at MercoPress have “branded” the humble Patagonian Argie writing this lines in many different ways...

    From adolescent Russian agent provocateur based in former Leningrad..., to auld Nazi-Communist-Jihadist Pedophile of Jewish Sandnigga Negro descent... ;-)))

    The worst insult though was that of a poster called “Briton”...
    He was absolutely convinced I was an Engrishman...!!!

    Think

    You are correct, you are a Patagonian Argie. Very few in the world deny you the right to call yourself that.

    So the land you stand on...was that Argie land in 1833? Or was it home to someone else?
    How did Argentina get that land? Was it usurped?

    Was the country you live in always “Argentina” or did the inhabitants steal it?

    You seem to allow yourself to identify as both the occupying force of Patagonia (since 1870) and of Argentina (since 16th century)

    But you deny the Falkland Islanders the same right, even though your ancestors massacred for your homeland, and theirs asked 20 or so murderous raping mutineers to leave peacefully.

    Interesting!

    Trimonde calling the people in Patagonia before the conquest violent angry primitives… I wonder why they were violent and angry, maybe it was because some Spaniard wannabe republic was conquering and murdering them.

    We’re taught that there are no “Primitive” or “Savage” cultures nowadays, clearly the Argies don’t learn that…

    This “guide” is today “recommendations”. But soon it could be mandatory. In Russia you could get prison calling the ongoing war a war. Argentina is on the same path. The government there decides what you could say about the Falklands. No free debate is possible. There is only one truth, which mostly consists of lies.

    I am not sure anyone who looks into the Falkland Island question truly believes Argentina has a case, despite what they claim.

    It is easy to believe the “evicted population” fairy story and hold a grievance, it sounds plausible but it isn't true. A little research confirms it.

    It is easy to believe the “inheritance from Spain” nonsense, its how most of Latin American countries exist, but Spain vacated the islands before independence.

    It is easy to believe that location should be an influence, but islands all over the world have all sorts of affinities.

    There is no real argument...so why do the likes of our friends pursue it...

    1) They hate the British
    2) They feel inferior to the British
    3) They hate the islanders
    4) They feel inferior to the islanders
    5) They want something for nothing
    6) It really sticks in their craw that there is a little corner of South America where corruption, lies, debt, abuse and violence is not the norm.

    Most Malvinistas know full well the history between 1760-1833 they just choose to ignore it. The Argentine government are issuing this document to the media because the more Argentines see the obvious Falklands truth, the more they see how their government lies to them.

    Your continuing attempts at trying to create a conceptual wedge separating “Patagonia”, which was never any kind of political region but nothing more than a geographical / climatological area of Argentina and then Chile, only reveals your true mean and destructive jealous nature. Unless of course, any one of you can explain with accurate logic what makes the Patagonian region any less Argentinian than the Mesopotamian region, or the Pampas region. Or what makes Northern Ireland any less Irish than the whole of Ireland, for that matter. Perhaps the idea of “a Northern Ireland” was also originally an English invention charged with mean destructive scornful jealousy (unexplainable for us naturally human people of heart) which eventually, succeeded in implanting the language in discussions that had nothing to do with the English until the English made it about the English? The only thing that explains it thus to me, is that your wretchedly scornful machine driven voracious little contemptuous hearts have zero love and zero respect for the land of others, with a nonetheless unstoppable continuously erupting need to seek drawing plans on what belongs to others, and lie cheat and manipulate your willful ways into the peaceful lives of those peoples who have made the grave always regretted mistake of trusting you.

    “ You British were once World Champions in Land Grab Murdering...”

    If you casually have a look at the languages of South and Central America, you will clearly see that title goes to the Spanish… Infact it was the British who created a native reserve and told colonists in the Thirteen Colonies not to expand Westward into native land, when the USA became independent that’s when they went on their manifest destiny.

    There weren’t any limits for the Spaniards in Mexico or South America were there Pizarro?

    The British were indeed the World Champions at land grabbing, they built the largest Empire the world has ever seen.

    At the time they were doing it, that was seen as the way forward, Spain was doing it, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, France.....China did it, Mongolia before, Turkey did it....the world was full of conquest and Empires....and you are quite right Britain was best at it.

    I know that still smarts with you Latinos....

    However, unlike every other Empire in history, the British Empire was dismantled peacefully, huge swathes of land were returned to the inhabitants of those countries, from Asia to Africa to South America and Canada. The Commonwealth that exists today is testament to the fantastic relationship the UK has with the countries that were once its colonies.

    The 18 remaining British Overseas territories have the same offer, leave and be independent whenever you like, but if you are too small, or at risk from mendacious bullying neighbours feel free to stay.

    The Falkland Islanders like their status, therefore they have it.

    Since 1833 the British Empire has shrunk by 95% nearly all of it returned peacefully, However the Argentine Empire has expanded into Patagonia via murdering of “dirty savages”.

Could you explain why that happened. Could you explain the tens of thousands of your own dissapeared. Could you explain why you had to borrow international money.
    Could you explain why you cant pay it back.
    Could you explain why half of your fellow countrymen women and children are now living in poverty.
    Could you explain in what you claim as Argentinas democracy you keep electing such vile governments that are syphoning away the money your country dont have.
    Could you also explain why your country invaded a peaceful neighbour called chile to grab more land.

    Anyhow, one..., if not the only positive things about the current Ukraine crisis..., is the world's open hunting sesion on dirty monies...

    As seven of the existing fourteen British Overseas Territories ( BOT's) tax havens are responsible for 29% of the $245 billion in tax the world loses to corporates...(according to https://taxjustice.net/..., which ranks the British Virgin Islands..., the Cayman Islands..., the Bermudas Islands.., the Turks & Caicos Islands..., Monserrat..., Anguilla and Gibraltar as the top enablers of corporate tax abuse on the planet...)

    ‘you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust’.

    The pre-meditated extermination of a people is called genocide, pure and simple, just like ‘the friggin holocaust’ was.

    ‘nothing more than a geographical / climatological area of Argentina’

    Except it wasn’t part of Argentina, that’s the point, you stole it and murdered the owners so you could keep it.

    And N. Ireland can change its status any time it wants to, just like the Falklands, it’s called self-determination, where the people decide the future of a territory, not the other way round.

    Yeah, just think all those oligarch billions stashed away that now belong the British Gov, no problem for us getting the money from BOT’s.
