Johnson tells Fernández Falklanders and Ukrainians entitled to self determination
President Alberto Fernández Monday told British Prime Minister Boris Johnson that more Britons were living in Argentina than in the Falkland Islands, but that did not change an iota the Conservative's leader stance that there was nothing to talk about in that regard because Falkland Islanders, like all people, have a right to self-determination, according to his post-meeting comments to the press quoted by Clarín.

“Johnson tells Fernández Falklanders and Ukrainians entitled to self determination”
I say...:
- What did Johnson tell Fernández 'bout the entitlement to self determination of the ~6,000,000 russophone and/or russophile Ukrainians...?
Johnson and Fernández agreed to work on a number of issues of interest to both the UK and ArgentinaPresident Alberto Fernández
Russophone Ukrainians do not necessarily want to join the Russia of Mr. Putin. The Ukrainian President (one of the greatest leaders of our time) himself comes from a Russian speaking family and the tv-series “Servant of the People” is staged in Russian. A majority of Ukrainians voted for Independence in 1991. 30 % have relatives in Russia. Some of the Russophones may have been russophiles a year ago. But the number of “russophiles” has drastically dropped since February this year. The leadership in the Kremlin has destroyed the friendship between the countries for generations to come.

Everything we hear or see is political hype by all countries leaders. Each one jousting for a better position on the world stage.
Jun 28th, 2022 - 06:49 am - Link - Report abuse +4Meanwhile the innocent are getting the worst deal. Ukrainian people are being killed every day this war has been going on. Argentina has starved half it's people because they have syphoned most of the money away from where it truly is needed.
Many other countries are repeating similar patterns.
Is it not time in this world to stop squabbling among ourselves and start to rebuild the respect we all had for one another . Over population has been the root of tragedy throughout the world. Starvation has driven many over the edge.war has devastated peoples homes adding to the misery.countries just like Argentina trying to control the smaller countries using bullying tactics that are almost equivalent to actual war.
Maybe the most sensible thing to do is find a deserted island and put all the power hungry leaders together on it and let them fight among themselves for awhile. Then maybe the world will become a better place for all humanity.
Money is the root of all evil with religion a close seccond. It brings out the evil in people.
That is why we see so many unhappy Argentines having a go at everyone. They are living in very hard times.
To think how much happier they could all be if they were to remove that sovereignty chip from their shoulders. The south atlantic region would again shine I am sure of that.
It is a proven fact that good trading relations does more for humanity than any war.
Oh for the day man discovers alien worlds. That will be the wake up call humans need to stop all this human tragedy that surrounds us.

Jun 28th, 2022 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse -5First, you are not a nation for anyone in this world except for the UK, You are a british colony. And that status is not invented by me, it is a status asigned by the United Nations.
Secondly. When we have an economic problem, we suffers them alone. You british are in war every five years and dont tell me it is for “liberating” people. Now training for ww3 against Russia?.
Third, you talking about innocence????. What was the strategic interest in adding Ukraine to NATO?. Ive never seen in my life the use of NATO orgnanization for defenses purposes.
If you want to defend the innocent, why dont you tell your government, the UK, to return Diego Garcia to its owners instead of claiming they are protecting the “world” with the military base.
Why dont you tell the UK to return Malvinas or at least open their inmigration to anyone who wants to reside there or invest there?.
Why dont your government colaborate with the United Nations in decolonizing the ten territories under british colonilism in this 21 century?.
Why dont you tell your government to stop exploiting Iraqs natural resources while you are at there?. Are iraqians population still guilty of having no weapons of mass destruction 20 years ago for you to keep stealing their oil?.
We might be in economic problems. But we have a 2 month military conflict in almost 2 centuries. You have been at war every 5 years. And you talking about innocence?.
Liberato.
Jun 28th, 2022 - 06:51 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Couple of points that need correcting because they are not truths.
First we are not a colony of Britain as you sugest. We are a British overseas territory that wishes to remain aligned with Britain.
Argentina will in effect be colonising us against our wishes .would that mean Argentina would give the islanders their independence. I doubt it so it would be a colony stalemate by world standards.
Seccond.
We the people of the Falklands run our own economy independent from Britain. We have a British military garrison stationed here to ensure that Argentina can no longer threaten our life that we have chosen.
We are not Britsins, we are for the world to know Falkland islanders of many generations.
Third.
You need to brush up on your outdated homework. We are not controlled by Britain when it comes to imigrants. In fact Britains have to apply for falkland status to live here or have sufficient work permits. We have a multicultural society from all over the world which also includes Argentine citizens many who came here after 1982 and made this place their home living as Falkland islanders.
Fourth
We have no input into what the British Government does in other places in the world just as they do not control what we do on our islands.
As for investments we have many investors from many places around the world including Argentines who have come here and invested their money in a fishing company as one example.
So before you try to twist the facts why dont you start useful dialogue with the islanders. You would not need to second guess us.
As for the UN suggesting we are a colony, again you need to do the research. They accept that we are a British overseas territory by our own choosing.
Stop being a looser and start learning just how succesfull we have become as a small country.
We rose out of the ashes of 1982 because Britain supported and protected us to make those choices.
We have one of if not the best fishing industries in the world.
Falklands-Free, nope, You claim you are a british overseas territory and you claim to be a nation. But that does not mean you are not a colony and not a british territory.

That is the Malvinas official Status on the UN. In it, it is stablished that the islands are a non self-governing territory which its administering power is the UK. It is also stablished that its sovereignty is under is disputed. Need the NSGT list?.
Quote:“Argentina will in effect be colonising us against our wishes”. I really dont see how a territory under colonialism will be colonising. Keeping the way they are perhaps?.
Quote2:“We are not Britsins, we are for the world to know Falkland islanders of many generations.”.
Did you see each year the decolonization committe where descendants of Vernet and many other Argentines goes to speak in the same way as the representatives of the colonial regime in the islands?. Well, those Argentines are descendants of other Argentines that lived there and were born there before those many generations you assume you have.
This year, Ana Clara Vernet humbly wanted to give islanders her records of its ancestors living there, but was rejected arrogantly by “islanders” calling her a myth or something like that.

Jun 29th, 2022 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0We have been down these roads many time reading identical rubbish that you quote.
The facts are that No, there are no descendants of those you claim were born here. We have had many visitors on short stays give berth to babies, we don't hear them claiming they are descendants of The Falkland islands. That is only your indoctrinated thinking.
It is clear that no matter what any islander says , in your eyes it is all unbelievable. You wont event accept that by claiming what has never been proven is yours is anything but fantasy.
Your insight into the UN description is but one aged statement of it's time. Even the UN have moved on and dont dwell on the past like you do.
Your dispute has always been with Britain because of the past that Argentina and Britain has and you and your likes simply dont want to move on.
Times have changed. I dont see you appologising to the indigenous people of Patagonia. That is because those people did not defeat you as Britain has done.
This whole charade about sovereignty is the only piece of a past that you cling to , just to keep the hatred towards Britain alive.
While you are doing that you are destroying the very land and people of Argentina.
Every leader in Argentina wants just as you do only one outcome to take what you know is a British piece of territory because it is there way of trying to get one over a much more powerful country
What you are failing to recognise is that these very islands are home to three and a half thousand people who while wishing to remain a part of a British overseas territory, also have human rights on their side. Of course human rights does not exist in Argentina as has been recorded. Twenty thousand dissapeared varifies that fact and you cant hide from it .
So stop repeating so much untruths and start real dialogue to make real peace among people.
That is not a part of your teaching so doubtful you will ever change. Indoctrinated people seldom do.

There is also not one moment where the Malvinas islands had other status in the UN than a Non Self-governing Territory.
Judge Jose, nothing was debunked. You guys claim that the UN keeps the islands under the colony list becouse of burocracy. Becouse islanders did not choosed the three options for delisting of the decolonization process. There is no excuse more pathetic than that. The FACTS are on the same UN webpage.

Instead of making theories of what would happens if the colonial regime declares unilaterally “independence”, why dont you recognize the current process of decolonization of a territory under british colonialism and recognize the multiple and insistence request by the UN to the UK and Argentina to negotiate sovereignty so they can continue decolonizing?.
Another bonkers reply Libby, the Falklands have the same status as territories such as Bermuda,Virgin Islands etc, all could choose independence when ever they want, they choose not to, the FIG run the country not Britain, why is that so hard for you to understand, when you have a population of only 3500 then your pool of skills is limited and you look elsewhere until you have enough of your own resources, again i say to you stop wating your life on a fantasy and a myth, there are far more important things in life,

It is not hard for me to underestand. You claim one thing, The UN claim the opposite thing and Argentina claims the same thing as the UN, except for the sovereignty dispute where the UN takes no sides regarding sovereignty rights.
Falklands-Free, there is absolutely no agression from Argentina. You have the latest military patrol boats custoding the unilaterally declared post 1982 as the Malvinas exclusion zone and a huge milirary base, with periodic trainings. So, no argentine navy putting pressure there, no argentine fishing passing over there and no military threats of any kind coming from Argentina. What you consider an agression, is the continue arrogance by the colonial regime, claiming to be treated as a sovereign nation. And when the results are obviously the correspondent with a colonial regime, they consider it as agression.
But we are ok with the Status quo. We will always claim what is ours, and you simulate you are a new nation, a republic or Narnia.

Jun 29th, 2022 - 08:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The reason there are no Argentine patrol boats in the Falklands waters is not because you proclaim to be peaceful but because there is a British deterrent to stop that from happening again.
Your lot certainly were not very peaceful in 1982.
Quite the opposite.
Your government can never be trusted again and that is proof of the continued aggression shown towards the islanders. Kind of defunks your theory of peace..
The people of the Falkland islands stopped being a colony when the voted in 2013 with a total of 99.8% of the people saying they wished to be A british overseas territory. No mention of a colony. However Argentina refuses to accept that referendum because they know to do so they no longer have a case. We are today a self governing people. Protected by Britain to ensure we live the lives of our choosing.
Nothing you can do even in the UN to change that either.
So contrary to your mythical beliefs. We are no longer a colony thus fulfills the C24 and the UN requirements.
But of course your country will never accept that decision and will continue to raise your claim no matter what is decided. The ICJ is your only course left to take now but you wont go there because your case is flawed.
I reckon a hundred years from now, if of course Argentina still exists, this issue will be brought up by people like you.
Our population will likely be a hundred times bigger by then. Weakening even further any attempt to steal our land.
”Did you see each year the decolonization committee where descendants of Vernet and many other Argentines goes to speak in the same way as the representatives of the colonial regime in the islands?.

Except that entire paragraph is complete nonsense.
Luis Vernet was not Argentine, he was German and he married a woman from Montevideo so she wasn't Argentine either....so their children, a mix of Uruguayan and German.
Vernet first arrived on the islands in 1828 having sought permission of the British government to go there, and left by his own accord in 1831 leaving erm...Matthew Brisbane in charge of his business. Brisbane was British.
So Ana Clara Vernet knows she is talking bollocks, her ancestor is not proof of an Argentine community, but a German/Uruguayan business, for 3 years, before he left voluntarily.
When accurate evidence is presented of a proper Argentine community, who lived on the islands for generations, who had their livelihoods stolen by the British is presented, perhaps people might take it seriously.
When blatantly misleading bollocks is spewed it will be laughed at.

Argentina have always voted in favour of that right, instead of ....you know who. But it is not applicable to the Malvinas inhabitants becouse they do not form a people distinct to those of Britain.
A people entitled to a self determination right is more important even than a sovereignty dispute. Becouse it is a people that evolved through waves of inmigration, isolation or culture. But, again, it is not the case of Malvinas.
In the Chagos consultation of the ICJ, it is very defined the scopes and limits of the right to self-determination. You should check that out.
In resume, stop shooting in the open, go read any resolution regarding Malvinas to underestand the opposition of the UN and Argentina to the status quo imposed in the colony of Malvinas.
.
Falklands-Free, quote:“The people of the Falkland islands stopped being a colony when the voted in 2013 with a total of 99.8% of the people saying they wished to be A british overseas territory. No mention of a colony”.
I wonder who would mention a colony within an illegal referendum made by the colonial power, without the assistance of the UN body in charge of monitoring its decolonization?. One of the aims of the Decolonization Committe is to assist to organize referendums to the peoples of the NSGT. In other words, a referendum made by Britain to its own citizens asking them if they would like to remain being british.
Monkeymagic, Vernet was Argentine and was even governor of Malvinas. He did not sought permission of the British government to go there. Where did you get that idea?. About brisbane there were many britons working for Argentina, the same with germans, french, etc.
Vernet was born in Hamburg and didnt even go to South America until he was 30.
Jun 30th, 2022 - 05:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0He sought permission from the British consulate in Buenos Aires in 1828, as he was fully aware of the British claim to the islands.
So I repeat, a German businessman who sought British permission to go to the islands in 1828, left them voluntarily in 1831, leaving British Matthew Brisbane in charge of the business.
I could call myself Governor of the moon, it doesnt make it true.
The Vernet community was a private enterprise lasting 3 years, not an Argentine community, ending when he left the islands. The Mestevier escapade lasted 3 months ending when his own crew murdered him and raped his wife.
I am sorry the historic facts do not suit the Argentine narrative.
As for the idea that the Falkland community is denied self determination by the fact they are not distinct from Britain, if this were true (which it isn't), then you destroy your own argument as they would not be a colony but a integral part of the UK.
Every which way you argue it, Argentina has zero claim and zero rights.
There has NEVER been an Argentine population
There was NEVER a usurpation
The Falkland Islander community is either British or Falkland Islander NOT Argentine

Jun 30th, 2022 - 07:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0The United Nations right to self-determination applies to very specific conditions.
The islanders have the same right to self-determination as the 6 million Ukrainians who live in Donestk and Lugansk in the Donbass region and who perceive themselves as Russians. That is, it is inapplicable.
Russia becomes the United Kingdom, and the islanders are the citizens of Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea who perceive themselves as Russian.
the fact that they perceive themselves as russians means that russia can annex a part of ukraine? Clearly not, because the territorial integrity of the countries is inviolable

They will never accept that there are two sides to every story.
They prattle on about decolonisation on the one hand but refuse to accept that we are a people in our own right on the other.
None of us are as they say implanted. Our ancestors came from all over the world to start a new way of life.
Just as did many people who migrated to Argentina. They also sought a new life.
That still goes on today just about everywhere in the world.
Argentina as these morons want us to believe are not the centre of the universe. They are in fact the left overs of a once powerful Spanish culture that did not like the way their mother country was heading so broke away.

Cession is possible but there are steps to follow, you have a free and fair referendum for a start.
Of course in Crimea and Donbass self-determination ‘is not applicable to the Russian inhabitants because they do not form a people distinct to those of Russia’, according to Argentina and Liberato they are an ‘implanted population’.
Academic now anyway, Russian speaking, Russian inhabited Ukraine no longer exists, it has been completely destroyed whilst being liberated by the Russian army.

“Charter of the United Nations
Chapter I — Purposes and Principles
Article 2(1)–(5)
The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.
4. All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”
This is only applicable to events that occurred post UN Charter. Thus, it is not applicable retroactively to 1833.
‘Cession is possible.’
Jun 30th, 2022 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse -1‘Hence Eritrea, South Sudan, Serbia, Montenegro, East Timor and Kosovo exist.’
Anyway, ‘territorial integrity’ does not apply here, as the Islands are and always have been British and never legitimately been part of, or occupied by Argentina, in any form, they cannot ‘disrupt’ the ‘territorial integrity of Argentina’.
Liberato
UN says the ‘inhabitants’ of the NSGT have the right to self-determination.
‘Inhabitants’ is defined as, ‘a person or animal that lives in or occupies a place’.
There is no ‘applicable’ to some but not others, mentioned in any UN document anywhere.
Your view (to which you are of course entitled) of who does and does not have the right to self-determination, is simply not supported by any evidence.
Perhaps it is you should read some UN resolutions.
The clue here is in the names.
Malvinas, from the French Malouines, named after the French port of St Malo, where the French settlers came from who founded the first (European) settlement in 1764.
Before this there was no name in Spanish or French for the Islands.
Falklands, after Vicount Falkland in 1690, before this the English had called them Hawkins's Maidenland since 1592.
Vernet asking permission from the British is in Wrongapedia, so it must be right!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Vernet
‘Luis Vernet (born Louis Vernet; March 6, 1791 – January 17, 1871) was a merchant from Hamburg of Huguenot descent. Vernet established a settlement on East Falkland in 1828, after first seeking approval from both the British and Argentine authorities’.
As I have said before, you cannot have an Argentine Governor of a British territory.

Yes, there are well documented instances of cessation, (which is nothing to do with Article 2(1)–(5)) but that is from an internal population. While territorial integrity involves an act of force by a foreign nation which is barred under Article 2(1)–(5).

quote3: “The Vernet community was a private enterprise lasting 3 years, not an Argentine community”. The vernet community?. His enterprise was privatelly requested to and authorised by the argentine government, and was later named governor also by the government.
quote4:”As for the idea that the Falkland community is denied self determination by the fact they are not distinct from Britain, if this were true (which it isn't), then you destroy your own argument as they would not be a colony but a integral part of the UK.“
It is true and its population are indeed part of the UK, but the islands are not. Thats why it is a bilateral issue and not a trilaterall issue.
Terence Hill, obviously you did not readed UN resolutions regarding Malvinas or the ICJ advisory opinion in the case for the chagossians . PAge 37 and 38.
quote:”This is only applicable to events that occurred post UN Charter. Thus, it is not applicable retroactively to 1833.“. It is the same excuse the british used in the chagoss case of not respecting the territorial integrity of Mauritious.

Chagoss is possibly germane to a UN Charter challenge.
There is nothing in in the Charter that can be retroactively applied to 1833, as the UNGA declaration of 1970 indicates .

Jun 30th, 2022 - 11:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For Information - all the people you list several times- with the exception of the Governor- are here on WORK PERMITS
That means they have no right to buy property or remain after the end of their job here. If they stay here for I think 5 years minimum- they can apply for a Permanent Residence Permit- they can then live here permanently and buy property.
To have a Vote etc- they have to be here for a bit longer and then apply for Falklands Status - ie become an Islander.
These same set of rules apply be you British- Canadian- Chilean or Argentine etc. NO discrimination or favouritism.
The Governor is appointed by the Queen as her Representative here - so no he has no Work Permit. But neither has he any rights of permanent abode etc once his term is over. He would have to retire first and then apply as a private person for a work permit and have a job to come to.
Terence Hill, we have discussed this many times before. Conquest does not apply to the Malvinas case. Argentina was not at war with Britain.

Islander1, What kind of vote do you think they need?. Or what kind of status do you think they need?. All branch of government are in power of people born in the other side of the world. Specifically in Britain.
The Education, Justice, Health, Infrastructure, Security, Defense, government, Foreign Relations, Financing, Banking, Housing, Exports, Imports, Inmigration, Emigration,etc. ALL depends on people born in Britain and contracted in Britain to work there, to make your house, to send you the car they later sells to you, the teachers that your sons are going to learn, etc.
What are the Falkland Islanders?. Employees or young retired living of their pensions with shares in the fishing industry taken unilaterally to Argentina?.
I live in Argentina and was born here. But if every branch of my government and society is run by people contracted in Madrid, born in Spain, with most of the companies located in Madrid, i would assume for sure that im not the local boy here.

Without mentioning that the guy who controls inmigration was born in Britain, the jobs are posted in Britain, and requested to british and people of the BOTs.

Hans Kelsen, in his book General theory of law and state he writes:
“if the conquest is firmly established. Taking possession through military force of the territory of another State against the latter's will is possible, however, without any military resistance on the part of the victim. Provided that a unilateral act of force performed by one State against another is not considered to be war in itself (war being, according to traditional opinion, ”a contention between two or more States through their armed forces” and hence at least a bilateral action) annexation is not only possible in time of war, but also in time of peace. The decisive point is that annexation, that is, taking possession of another State's territory with the intention to acquire it, constitutes acquisition of this territory even without the consent of the State to which the territory previously belonged, if the possession is “firmly established.” It makes no difference whether the annexation takes place after an occupatio bellica or not.”

Once again. Libby, i dont give a flying fart in space if the Falklands ,Bermuda, Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, etc are on the UN list that was written donkeys years ago, its not that important , all these Territories self govern themselves, London has no say apart from defence, they could come off the silly list tomorrow either if they chose independence or went down the French and Dutch route and chose to be incorporated as part of the UK, its not that important, what is important is that the people who live in these territories decide what they want. your obsession with the word colony is crackers as is the where people come from to work in the islands, Argentina will never get the Falklands unless the people who own them choose that road, instead of constant bullying why dont you and your crazy government go on a 50 year charm offensive , all your dubious claims in the past have been debunked over and over again by various people, but you just cant help yourself, on this thread i am done with your nonsense, as Falklands Free said, you are a lost cause,

‘Territorial integrity of countries is not inviolable’
It’s really not complicated, do try and keep up.
Liberato
All the BOTs listed as NSGT by the UN are self-governing democracies, with constitutional arrangements they have chosen by popular votes. With the option to change to full independence, or association with another country, or whatever.
I don’t know how much more de-colonised they could be, with being forced into independence or colonised by another state.
Which is what this is all about, arguing the Kelpers do not qualify for their rights under the UN charter/decolonisation declaration, despite all the evidence to the contrary and none in support of the assertion, simply so they can be dispossessed in colonial fashion.
Not to mention stealing the rest of the S. Atlantic/Antarctic as well. Which is a fundamentally different issue as they have no permanent population and therefore no issue of de-colonisation or self-determination.

Terence, this is what u quoted:” if the conquest is firmly established. Taking possession through military force of the territory of another State against the latter's will is possible, however, without any military resistance on the part of the victim. Provided that a unilateral act of force performed by one State against another is not considered to be war in itself (war being, according to traditional opinion, ”a contention between two or more States through their armed forces” and hence at least a bilateral action) annexation is not only possible in time of war, but also in time of peace.

”If the extension of the efficacy of a national legal order to the territorial sphere of validity of another national legal order, the efficacious anexation of a territory of one state by another state implies a VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, the guilty state, as pointed out, exposes itself to the sanctions provided by general or particular International Law.“
It continues by saying that it can still anex a territory belonging to another state by the execution of a treaty of cession.

As for the UN still listing them as Non Self Governing, as I understand it and I stand to be corrected, I do not speak for them, they consider it offensive to say the least.
With C24 members like, the Russian Federation, Syrian Arab Republic, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua, they are never going to de-colonise any of NSGT they are supposed to be guiding towards independence.
And the territories know it, but they are forging their own paths anyway.

Along with all the judiciary, teachers bankers, fire fighter, police chief, doctors, ingeneers, militaries, etc.
Pugol, Britain dismembered Mauritious just before letting them independize and to this day. They keep the colony under the excuse of “protecting the world”. The c24 are not keeping territories that are under british colonialism in the NSGT list, just for political purposes. They keep the same stance as the General Assembly over all these years. I definitely prefer Cuba in the decolonization committe than the UK, the USA or Spain for instance.

Quite clearly South Georgia the south sandwich Islands or Antarctica do not actually sit on your so called continental shelf. So what was the motive.
There is only one motive and that is anything Britain possesses in the south Stlantic must be stopped.
Argentina is not at all interested in the islands as a country because they did not want to be here in 1982.

“Nevertheless, there occurs, according to international law, a territorial change,
provided that the occupation, made with the intention of incorporating the occupied territory into the territory of the occupying State, assumes a permanent character, and that means that the legal order of the occupying State becomes efficacious for the territory in question. Usually one speaks of “occupation,” as a title of acquisition, only when the territory previously did not belong to another State. When, on the contrary, the territory belonged to another State, one speaks of “annexation,” having in mind the case of conquest, that is, the case of taking possession of enemy territory through military force in time of war. Traditional theory admits that annexation of conquered enemy territory, whether of the whole (subjugation) or of part, constitutes acquisition of the territory by the conquering State, if the conquest is firmly established. Taking possession through military force of the territory of another State against the latter’s will is possible, however, without any military resistance on the part of the victim. Provided that a unilateral act of force performed by one State against another is not considered to be war in itself (war being, according to traditional opinion, “a contention between two or more States through their armed forces”

Refusing to accept that a non spanish country owns territory in the south Atlantic is the actual root of the whole problem. If chile had in fact owned everything Britain owns in the region I bet Argentina would not be interested because the thinking is they would be Spanish.
Bloody good job your lot didn't conquer North America. The whole North Atlantic region would be by now claimed by your lot.

Where someone was born does not stop them for being elected once they have residency. Neither does it stop people from being employed by the FIG.
Mauritius accepted money in a freely agreed deal, with their freely elected government. Now they try and renege, no surprise really. The territory will be handed over to Mauritius in about 15 years, by which time it will be mostly submerged so no 200nml EEZ limit as islands, only the 12nml territorial waters that rocks get.
Everything some members of the C24 do is for political purposes, even you cannot be that naive as the think otherwise.
Yes, ‘Chapter XI of the Charter embodies the concept of Non-Self Governing Territories in a dynamic state of evolution and progress towards a “full measure of self-government”.’
No mention of colonisation by a hostile neighbour state though. Or any difference in the rights of the Falklanders to any other NSGT.
We have more right to be in the S. Atlantic/Antarctic than you do to be in S. America, we did not steal that land from anybody.
“The efficacious anexation of a territory of one state by another state implies a VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW”
Jul 03rd, 2022 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“That annexation of conquered territory “confers a title only after a firmly established conquest,” without regard to the legal or illegal character of the conquest and to the length of time which expired after it. Traditional theory distinguishes between derivative and original modes of acquisition, according “as the title they give is derived from the title of a prior owner-State, or not.” Since the “ownership,” that is, the fact that a certain territory legally belongs to a certain State, is based only and exclusively on the permanent efficacy of the coercive order of that State for the territory in question and not on the “ownership” of the prior State, there is no derivative acquisition at all. The characteristic of cession is not — as usually assumed — that this mode of acquisition is derivative, but that it makes possible the acquisition of the territory of another State without violation of international law.”

Nevertheless, dont trust the c24.

“Whereas The Falklands have never been Argentinian”. Malvinas has been spanish and later Argentines. You british wanted to settler there in 1765 when there was already a settlement, You came back in 1833 and for the first time landed on Soledad Island after the argentines. You recovered them militarilly in 1982 and for the first time and with military ships controlled its surrounding sea. hundred of people that lives in continental Argentina are descended from the argentines that lived previous the invasion of 1933.
Mauritious was separated to get independence from the UK. And the inhabitants that was left on Diego Garcia suffered british brivery, the cut on its food, transport and a safe return home and your theorie that they will be back in 15 years, should be better apply by the uk your home.
NON SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORY its exactly the opposite of SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORY. There is no semantic problem on it. When a TERRITORY is no longer a NSGT, it is delisted from the decolonization process and then yes, they become a SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORY. To be Decolonized they can be decolonized through the three options that defined by the UN as determinant for a SGT or not. But the people have to be culturally or ethnically different.

The only Argentines that were on the islands prior to removal was some Military who were sent to the islands to try and enforce an illegal claim. All the rest of the inhabitants who were not of Argentine origin but of other nationalities who apart from from 4 stayed and became a part of the Falkland Islands community we know today. I challenge you to produce legal birth and death even marriage certificates of any Supposed Argentine that were born on the Islands between 1828 and 1833. Complete documented proof is what is needed not assumptions as you are making.
As for ownership of the islands the following documented recording reads “The English captain John Strong made the first recorded landing in the Falklands, in 1690, and named the sound between the two main islands after Viscount Falkland, a British naval official.”
So clearly the British were in possession long before the French or Spanish ever landed to start their illegal settlements.
You have been lied to by your government. Your Country has never had any legal claim only an assumption because Spain who illegally claims to have purchased the islands from the Illegal French who claims to have sold Port Louis to the Spanish. NOTE Port Louis not the Falkland Islands either because they did not even know that there were at least two main Islands and many smaller ones.

Liberato. Where do you get your mythical rubbish from. The islands were indeed first recorded discovered in 1592 by Captain John Davis. That is a documented fact. Captain John strong went on to say he claimed all this land for his majesty. Recorded as well. Now oh clever one produce the factual document of birth that your claim is based upon.

Any offspring born on the islands to this person who you claim are many.
Must have been one hell of a person to mature at 5 years old to start a family .that is the period of Argentine attempted occupation 1828 to 1833. Just five years. Think you will find the one likely born on the islands was not of Argentine origin either.
Further you cannot make a claim by saying a person was born on the land is the rightful owner. No Argentine was born in Argentina when they invaded Patagonia. If that was the case your argument of every falkland islander being implanted even though they have 9 generations born kills your single birth of what was also an implanted person.
This argument works both ways remember that.
Try another tactic because it entertains us.

No, it’s the UN’s.
”The decolonization efforts of the United Nations derive from the principle of “equal rights and self-determination of peoples” as stipulated in Article 1 (2) of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as from three specific chapters in the Charter which are devoted to the interests of dependent peoples. The Charter established, in its Chapter XI (“Declaration regarding Non-Self-Governing Territories”, Articles 73 and 74), the principles that continue to guide the decolonization efforts of the United Nations. The Charter also established the International Trusteeship System in Chapter XII (Articles 75-85) and the Trusteeship Council in Chapter XIII (Articles 86-91) to monitor the Trust Territories.

John Davies was there (allegedly) in 1592 and returned to Europe in June 1593. Sebalt de Weert didn’t leave Europe until June 1598, Davies could not have known what Sebalt de Weert’s news was going to be when he got back in July 1600.’

‘Sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) is disputed by Argentina and the United Kingdom. The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690, when they made the first recorded landing on the islands,[1]’
So, you cannot have Argentinian Governors or settlements on what was already long established British Territory, not legitimately anyway.
The ‘political status’ of the BOTs has been decided by the inhabitants of the BOTs. With no outside interference, you can ask them yourself.
With the current members of the C24, they are never going to de-colonise any of the territories on their list and the territories know it, but they are forging their own paths anyway.
And in the S. Atlantic, Argentina is a bystander and not involved at all, which I suspect is what really hurts.

For everything, we will always have two views and different interpretations. But what we cant have is different internpretation to resolutions made specifically to the question of the “Malvinas/Falklands Islands”.
You said and i quote :“With the completion of the Referendum ...the Islands are now “decolonized”.”. Nope, Thats your interpretation. The islands today remains on the list of NSGT in the process of decolonization. This is a reality for the c24 and for the General Assembly who keeps the topic on its provisional agenda permanently.
You says that the islands are SELF-GOVERNING and the UN still consider the islands a NON SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORY.
You can keep your thoughts and expose your views. The same with the UK organizing as much as referendums as they please, asking a british people of almost 100% of british origins if they wants to be british or something else. Reality is that the UK does not define whether exist colonialism or not. Neighter Argentina. But the UN can indeed.
Pugol, Davis was accused of desertion and held in disgrace. Unacknowledged, his journal remained unpublished until way after the return of Mr Sebalt de Weert.
Thanks for mention and acknowledge the sovereignty dispute and when you said: “The British claim to sovereignty dates from 1690 when they made the first recorded landing on the islands,[1]’” A recording landing is not a claim of sovereignty. Did he claimed the islands?. Did he also settled them?. A claim of sovereignty is when they settled them after the French and claimed them for king George. With no success of course to a place already claimed and settled.
“With the current members of the C24...”. Fine, keep the colonial status. But have the, “courage” to accept that for whatever reason the UN gives Malvinas that definition of NSGT.
“The islands today remains on the list of NSGT in the process of decolonization.”

The British found the Islands in 1592, landed on and claimed them in 1690, then took possession of them in 1765.
