    Support for the resumption of negotiations is not the same as support for the Argentine cause, would be the first observation.

    As the British support the resumption of international negotiations to resolve the Kashmir dispute.

    Second, it seems India is ignoring several UNGA resolutions on the subject.

    https://www.pakungeneva.pk/ContentPage.aspx?ID=20

    No negations with Pakistan or representatives of the Kashmiri people and no plans for a plebiscite for the people of Kashmir to decide their own future, and end Indian/Pakistani military occupation.

    And India is a member of the C24 De-colonisation committee???

    Huh!

    All BRICS countries are in favor of Argentina. As well as most countries in Eurasia, Africa, Oceania, Central America and South America.

    More and more the Five Eyes are isolated.

    How can you go into MEANINGFUL negotiation when one party declares that anything less than complete ownership of the island group and surrounding territorial waters is and will always be unacceptable. This stand is regardless to the wishes of the inhabitants.

    Negotiation is always possible. It's impossible to stay as it is.

    The longer the stalemate lasts, the worse it will be for the West, South America included.

    Bras. there is no stalemate, the islands rite to self determination is entrenched in the UN charter, this over rides everything else, every time Argentine politicians have an overseas visit they whinge and cry about talks, other countries are sick to death of it and pay nothing more than lip service, again i ask WHAT is there to talk about, Argentina wants something it can not have and have never had legally,

    Bra, I will explain it simply, the Falklands islands government are happy to talk to Argentina, however,
    Argentina refuse to talk to them saying they do no exist as a people, Britain is also happy to talk to Argentina and do so about many things and had a good relationship with the previous Argentine government, when it comes to sovereignty that is non negotiable, would Brasil give their land up to a foreign country, of course not,
    Argentina has NEVER legally owned the islands it is nothing but lies they spew out,

    The Assembly voted in 2008 whether a sovereignty dispute denies the right of non-self governing territories to the right to self determination.

    For there to be a negotiation, more than one outcome must be possible.

    Except Argentina’s constitution states that only one outcome is possible.

    Where Argentina does not recognise the FIG or its right to exist, when it is the FIG who ultimately they will have to deal with.

    So, Argentina has no one to negotiate with and nothing to negotiate if they did.

    Clearly it is Argentina who has the problem(s) here, and is going nowhere.

    The rest of the world moves on, apace in the case of the S. Atlantic.

    The resolution tabled by Argentina through the C24 sought to add the words “where no sovereignty dispute exists” to the General assemblies position that all Non-self governing territories have the right to self determination.

    Britains ammendment removed the added words, so the UN position remains that the NSGTs have the right to determine their own future,

    https://press.un.org/en/2008/gaspd406.doc.htm

    Quite clearly, the vote went along Partisan lines the 20 Latam countries voted with Argentina, and then a number of other countries who wish to steal lands (Russia:Ukraine, China:Taiwan, India:Kashmir, Vietnam:Paracel islands, Spain:Gibraltar and a few rogue states Iran, North Korea etc Its hard to see a “sensible country” voting with Argentina.

    The UK had support of North America, Nearly all of Europe, Far more African countries than Argentina, More Asian countries and most of Australasia.....completely the opposite of your original post.

    So, no negotiation is necessary, the UN GA position is clear, it is up to the Islanders to choose what they want, and outside of Latam and a few rogue states everyone agrees.

    Please feel free to withdraw your ascertain that the world supports the Argentine position and “the 5-eyes” are isolated. Otherwise you will find yourself in the same category as trimonde.

    For there to be a negotiation, the islanders need to be offered something that they want. Argentina has nothing to offer.

    It is not a negotiation if the premise is “today I have nothing, I want everything, but my compromise is to accept something”

    Try that negotiation in any walk of life and the answer is no.

    Argentina needs to offer something, I would suggest they offer a return to the 1832 borders, making Patagonia a free state for Amerindians, where Latinos are banned.

    Or perhaps Argentina offer the islanders $20m USD per head to vacate the islands.

    Its a negotiation after all!!

    When will Argentina start talking to the C24 about French Guyana? I mean, it is a huge country in comparison to the Falkland Islands and is wholly administered by France. It is a “departement”, complete with it's own representation in the French parliament. That India says, when visiting Argentina, that “talks should recommence” is hardly saying that the Falklands belong to Argentina, it is the sort of thing a trade delegation would say when some greasy Argentine politician slithers up and says, “what do you think of this?” It means nothing.

    Correct, October 2008.

    The UN General Assembly voted by 2/3rds majority that self-determination applied to all remaining non self-governing territories, not just those “where no sovereignty dispute exists”.

    So, the islanders get to choose, and they have chosen.

    Britain and Argentina do not get to “negotiate”. The islanders get to chose.

    When you look at the vote its even more telling....Latin America, failed corrupt states, and countries known to want territory that is not theirs today.....versus the developed world and most of Africa , including the BRICs nation of South Africa.

    So, we await for Brasileiro to withdraw the following claims as false:

    All of BRICS support Argentina: False
    the Five eyes are isolated: False
    Most countries in Eurasia: False
    Most countries in Africa: False
    Most countries in Oceania: False

    Other than that, a good accurate post!!! :-)

    None of the more than 40 resolutions passed by the General Assembly and the Decolonization Committee of the United Nations40 has recognized the existence of a separate people on the territory of the Falklands/Malvinas, and these resolutions have therefore taken other paths regarding the manner in which to proceed to the decolonization of the islands. The position of the United Nations as to how to put an end to the colonial situation is negotiation between Argentina and the United Kingdom to solve the dispute over sovereignty, taking into account the interests of the population of the islands.41 Not only, but it is worth remembering that when the United Kingdom attempted to incorporate an express mention of the right to self-determination in what a posteriori became Resolution 40/21 of November 27th, 1985, the General Assembly rejected it outright. The reason is simple: unlike ordinary cases of colonialism, that is, the oppression of an entire people by a European power, the Falklands/Malvinas case concerns the eviction of a newly born independent State from an insular, scarcely populated portion of its territory lacking any original population, by the most powerful colonial nation of the time.

    You are wrong. In 2008 the UN General Assembly affirmed without amendment, that self determination was the ONLY method of bringing an end to colonialism. Not any “special cases” not “where no sovereignty dispute exists” nothing.

    The islanders are either a separate people, or their is no colonial position. Both cannot be true. Neither way does Argentina get their hands on the islands.

    Think

    With no due respect. You are also wrong.

    The UN sub-committees don't “handle” anything, the UN General Assembly does. The sub-committees put forward advice, which the GA can choose to vote on.

    The sub-committee suggested there was a “Special and Particular colonial case” and the General Assembly disagreed. I am sorry if this is too complicated for you to understand, and you find anyone who pints out “facts” you dont like or are too dim to comprehend as “haughty”.

    The C24, full of Latam countries, countries who wish to steal other territories, failed states and corrupt militias mostly vote with Argentina, together with others it made 40 votes in 2008.

    Britains position got 60 votes in the General Assembly. Why if the“only” body in the UN associated with decolonisation is the C24 as per your “FACT”, why does the GA vote on their proposals....surely the GA have no say?

    Or perhaps you are talking shiite...

    Poor Thick Argentina

    They thought if they could fill the C24 with their corrupt friends, get the worlds “land-grabbers” on board....the C24 would convince the UN General Assembly to adopt its nonsense.

    However, there has been virtually no movement on Non-self governing territories in 30 years, because the C24 is not following its mandate, and instead is trying to justify future colonisation rather than correcting the past.

    The General Assembly has shown it doesn't listen to the C24 advice, and nothing changes.

    The solution is easy, replace the C24 with 24 different countries, USA, Canada, South Africa, Kenya, Singapore, Japan, Iceland, Norway, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Pakistan, Malta, Sweden, Kuwait, South Korea, Italy, Turkey, Malaysia, Israel, Brunei, Rwanda, Trinidad and Tobago.

    All countries who know a fair bit about either colonialism or democracy and you would see that “Colonialism” would all but be eradicated, as none of the UK overseas territories are subjugated peoples.

    However, if the corrupt juntas and failed states like their annual outings so be it, it changes nothing!

    Its better than that, they go to the wrong UN sub-committee (decolonisation has nothing to do with sovereignty disputes), they fill and bribe the committee with their mates and like minded corrupt countries, they release recommendation after recommendation, which are ignored by the general assembly as irrelevant or unacceptable....and even if, by some miracle, the General Assembly did agree with them, the UK would ignore it as the resolution would be non-binding.

    Argentina of course would not go to the correct international body for sovereignty disputes the ICJ as they have no case, and their population would realise they'd been lied to.

    Even in this thread Brasiliero and Malinvinese have claimed the UN General Assembly “supports” Argentina, when quite clearly it does nothing of the sort.

    Thick Think, knows, of course that the UN doesn't support Argentina, he just posts shiite wrongly thinking he is clever.

    Nah, its worse than that, Erstatning Stink knows he’s posting Sh*te.

    He does it to get a reaction, so he can blither on about ‘haughty Anglos’ and ‘Them Brainwashed Engrish Turnips’.

    It makes his day.

    After all, in all this time of his blithering, if anything, Argentina is fact further away from any involvement, never mind any control of the S. Atlantic.

    And still an economic basket case.

    TWIMC...

    One of the good uses of PenguinPress is to keep one informed 'bout the activities of the Engrish Armed Farces...

    I Tænk their last report was on the successful filming by the Engrish Navy of the mating ceremony of the Antarctic Sea Cucumber...,or something of the sort...

    Imagine me horror finding out that PenguinPress is NOT REPORTING NOTHING 'bout the Prince of Wales being shafted without grease...!

    Chuckle..., chuckle...

    I find Gauchito Drink's fixation on passive anal sexual activity enlightening, given his self professed 3 failed marriages, where he got shafted by each of his ex-wives in the end.

    Monkeymagic, I read the UN abomination. It's been a long time (14 years). The Five Eyes will never get that vote again.

    Thanks for confirming your stance, you've proven what you are.

    The vote 14 years ago was very clear (I have seen no country change their position), you call it an abomination. I call it the clear position of the international community.

    You can continue to post drivel, where countries who supported Argentina in 2008 reaffirm their position, there were 20 Latam and a few corrupt and broken nations, and countries which want to land grab.....and there still is.

    Poor you....I pity you.
