Britain does not hold legal possession . It holds military possession . It bullied Argentina off the islands in 1833, and thus the islands are under occupation, regardless of whether the islanders (who arrived after said military expulsion) have been sweeping its sidewalks for all these years. They've been doing it for London, not for a country they can call their own.

You country is essentially a coward that uses others to make gains upon third countries. It's doing it with Ukrainians now, and its doing it with the islanders still.

Subsequent to this ratification, the
Republic of Argentina submitted only one official diplomatic protest regarding the Falkland Islands during the following 90 years.

Oct 22nd, 2022 - 12:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0In their attempt to find an Argentine renunciation in the Arana-Southern Treaty, the authors of the pamphlet insist on its nature as a “peace treaty” and claim that it is because of this nature that the renunciation existed. Pascoe and Pepper use a quote by the North American jurist Henry Wheaton to justify their mistaken interpretation. The British writers refer to the consequences emerging from the signing of a peace treaty in relation to conquered territories. But here they seriously contradict themselves: if the islands were British, as they claim, then there was nothing for the United Kingdom to conquer. As we saw in the previous chapter, none of the prerequisites in the international law of the time are met for an acquisition of British sovereignty by conquest in 1833. The 1849 treaty also does not relate to conquest. The fact that commentaries have referred to it as a “peace treaty” does not change this fact. There was no declaration of war made by Great Britain against Argentina (and Uruguay) or vice versa. Military actions were unrelated to the Falklands/Malvinas. The treaty of November 23rd, 1849 makes no mention of an Argentine renunciation, as is done in peace treaties where the parties dispose of sovereignty over their territories. It was simply not a treaty of a territorial nature. Furthermore, the treaty was a triumph for Argentina and Uruguay: Great Britain recognised the Argentine-Uruguayan thesis of the internal character of their rivers, and its own obligation to request authorisation to sail them, a formal end to the blockade, the return of its ships, British retreat from Martin Garcia Island in the Rio de la Plata (which at the time was the object of claims both by Argentina and Uruguay, and occupied by the British during the blockade) and a salute to the flag as satisfaction. The same pamphlet says Rosas was able to impose his will “on two humiliated opponents, Britain and France”, then immediately goes on
The same pamphlet says Rosas was able to impose his will “on two humiliated opponents, Britain and France”, then immediately goes on to say that he “was prepared to pay a price – the Falklands”. It would be extremely curious for a victor capable of humiliating its defeated opponents to have to pay a price to one of them which, furthermore, no one had asked for. There is not a shred of evidence that this was the condition for French and British acceptance of the Argentine-Uruguayan thesis. Quite simply, the Anglo-French naval blockade did not bear fruit, but actually damaged British and French traders in the Rio de la Plata region.
Oct 22nd, 2022 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0In spite of it being unnecessary due to what we have just said, let us continue to address with the statement of the British pamphlet, developed further by some bloggers of the same nationality, according to whom the 1849 Convention is a “Peace Treaty”. We will cite the work of writers both preceding and contemporary with the facts, which can reflect the state of international law at the time, and which categorically contradict the interpretation made by the British leaflet. Vattel wrote: “The effect of the treaty of peace is to put an end to the war, and to abolish the subject of it. (...) the effect (...) cannot be extended to things which have no relation to the war that is terminated by the treaty.” He then goes on to say that
“The treaty of peace naturally and of itself relates only to the war which it terminates. It is, therefore, in such relation only, that its vague clauses are to be understood. Thus, the simple stipulation of restoring things to their former condition does not relate to changes which have not been occasioned by the war itself”.
Henry Wheaton says: ”The effect of a treaty of peace is to put an end to the war and to abolish the subject of it. It is an agreement to waive all discussion concerning the respective rights and claims of the parties and to bury in oblivion the original causes of the war.”
Henry Wheaton says: ”The effect of a treaty of peace is to put an end to the war and to abolish the subject of it. It is an agreement to waive all discussion concerning the respective rights and claims of the parties and to bury in oblivion the original causes of the war.” And he continues:
Oct 22nd, 2022 - 12:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0“If an abstract right be in question between the parties, on which the treaty of peace is silent, it follows, that all previous complaints and injury, arising under such claim are thrown into oblivion, by the amnesty necessarily implied, if not expressed; but the claim itself is not thereby settled either one way or the other. In the absence of express renunciation or recognition it remains open for future discussion.”
Finally, he establishes that “The treaty of peace does not extinguish claims founded upon debts contracted or injuries inflicted previously to the war, and unconnected with its causes, unless there be an express stipulation to that effect.”
As we can see, both jurists agree: the object of peace treaties is to put an end to war and its cause; these treaties do not extinguish claims existing prior to the war and unconnected with its cause, unless this is expressly stipulated and, finally, the effects of the treaty cannot extend to facts that have no connection with the war that motivated it. It does not further the British cause to consider the Arana-Southern Treaty as a peace treaty. An implicit renunciation by Argentina to its sovereignty over the Falklands/Malvinas cannot be inferred in this way, not by interpreting the content and scope of the treaty.
Precisely. Which is why I always simply ask, “tell me where it mentions the islands by name”. There's a reason these “treaties” don't. And there's a reason why Argentina has accepted them in the past.

§ 12. Principle of uti possidetes. A treaty of peace leaves everything in the state in which it finds it, unless there be some express stipulations to the contrary. The existing state of possession is maintained, except so far as altered by the terms of the treaty. If nothing be said about the conquered country or places, they remain with the possessor, and his title cannot afterward be called in question. ... ...Treaties of peace, made by the competent authorities of such governments, are obligatory upon the whole nation, and, consequently, upon all succeeding governments, whatever may be their character.”

Oct 23rd, 2022 - 12:47 am - Link - Report abuse -1But unlike your opinions of external people that have no relevance and no probatory in international law. there are testimonies that do have relevance.
In 1936, John Troutbeck, head of the british Foreign Office’s US department, wrote an official memo “our seizure of the Falkland Islands in 1833 was so arbitrary a procedure as judged by the ideology of the present day. It is therefore not easy to explain our possession without showing ourselves up as international bandits.”
Annual Report No 21 of the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires, dated
January 31 1929, which maintains: “A careful study of previous correspondence leads me
to the conclusion that various British Governments, beginning with that of Lord
Palmerston, were not satisfied that our claim was such that it would bear argumentative
reiteration. We took refuge in silence. Argentines safeguard their claim by reasserting it at
intervals. I suggest that our wisest course would be to allow this state of affairs to continue.
(...) Should we take undue notice of periodical pinpricks (...) as seems to be desired by the
Government of the islands, we may force the Argentine Government to take definite and
unpleasant action, such as insisting that the whole question be referred to arbitration. (...)
My strong recommendation is that we should remain silent”.
@Roger Lorton The British pamphlet is also silent over two key elements of the claim presented by the United Kingdom against Argentina before the International Court of Justice in 1955 in the Antarctica case. For the avoidance of doubt and of any potential Argentine action in that
Oct 23rd, 2022 - 12:59 am - Link - Report abuse -1respect, the British application states very clearly that the United Kingdom accepts the
jurisdiction of the Court only over the so-called “Falkland Islands Dependencies” and not
the Falklands/Malvinas themselves. These two notes are part of the application: “It results
from the present Application that the United Kingdom Government accepts the jurisdiction
of the Court in respect of the questions hereby submitted to it, and in particular that of the
title to sovereignty over the islands and lands of the Falkland Islands Dependencies. The
present Application does not constitute a submission to the jurisdiction of the Court in any
other respect, or as regards the title to sovereignty over any territory outside the
Dependencies.”
The British pamphlet also ignores the main reason invoked by Argentina for refusing the
British offer to submit those territories to the decision of the Hague Court: the absence of
any reference to the issue of the Falkland/Malvinas Islands. In the Note that the Argentine
Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent to the British Embassy in Buenos Aires on May 4, 1955 in
response to the British proposal, it is highlighted that: “(...) Her Majesty’s Government
excises the bottom issue, as if all could be reduced to a single aspect, mentioning as the
sole problem that needs solution the one referring to the Antarctic territories it demands
and those that qualifies as dependencies of the Malvinas Islands (...) The Argentine
Government cannot conceive nor accept as friendly nor juridical a proposal that has as its
heart to sustain that usurpation (...)

Oct 23rd, 2022 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse -1maybe you didn't realize it, but i was sweeping the floor with roger lorton, who was already called to silence after he destroyed his false interpretations about vettel and wheaton.
The poor relevance of scientific factual analysis of English authors such as Pascope... led them to make a misunderstanding (perhaps intentionally or through ignorance) of Wheaton, Vettel and Sharon Korman.
It is curious that Pascope, Lorton and now you mention Korman, maybe abaut the case of the Palmas Islands and the acquisition by conquest without realizing that they bury themselves.
They obviously never read Sharon Korman's book.
On the pg 156, Korman Wrote ” ”It is reasonable to suppose that if the mere use or threat of force in the absence of war had been recognized in the nineteenth century as a lawful means of acquiring territory or of establishing a title by conquest, Britain would have appealed to that title as a means of putting an end, once and for all, to the disputed status of the territory (...). But Britain – contrary to what would have been the advice of some present-day international lawyers – did not put forward the claim of conquest precisely because it had not been at war with Argentina, and war, in the traditional international system, was the only lawful means of acquiring rights to territory by force.”
unconsciously, in peasant ignorance the authors of the pamphlet when mentioning korman buried themselves
Korman wrote the following:

...John Fischer Williams wrote in 1926: To say that force cannot give a good title is to divorce international law from the actual practice of nations in all known periods of history”

Incidentally, if you wish to involve yourself in the political minutia, at least quote someone with the prerequisite knowledge and authority.
”In December 1927, British Foreign Secretary, Sir Austin Chamberlain has a meeting with Argentina’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Angel Gallardo, in which the Minister says that, “... he had been looking into the question of the Falkland Islands, and had come to the conclusion that (the British) position and claim were exceedingly strong.”

“Sir Anthony Eden’s … August 28, 1936.

At the same time, there is reason to doubt whether, in fact, Argentina ever had any grounds of claim to the islands at all. “

Every year that passes of illegal occupation, is one more year that passes without any acquisition of rights. The same is currently happening in Ukraine, where Russia has invaded Ukraine and held referendums with its citizens who perceive themselves to be Russians... the right of sovereignty over the conquered territories will never be worth it, as all the UN countries said, including the countries of nato.
Oct 23rd, 2022 - 11:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Korman is very specific on page 156 of his book about why the conquest does not apply to the Malvinas.
Besides, there is a great contradiction in the poor arguments of Pascope's pamphlet.
According to the United Kingdom, they had rights over the islands before 1833, making the conquest incompatible, since there was nothing to conquer.
Either the Territory was yours or you conquered it, or it's white or it's black.

There is reason to doubt whether, in fact, Argentina ever had any grounds of claim. “
“War, was the only lawful means of acquiring territory by force.”
Korman did not write that, as she would have been aware of Kelsen’s view.
Jurist Hans Kelsen, in his book General theory of law and state he writes:
“If the conquest is established. Taking possession through military force against the latter's will is possible. Provided that a unilateral act of force performed is not war in itself … annexation is possible, but also in time of peace. The decisive point is that annexation, 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.”
No, those are the fancibul interpretations that pascope and pepper make, making a failed attempt to twist the phrases of authors like Wheaton, Vettel or Korman.

In addition to Invoking conquest, it would self-contradict and destroy the English position that they had sovereign rights over the islands in 1833. Since if it belonged to them, there would be nothing to conquer.

Oct 24th, 2022 - 08:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not quite as all you have done is fail to prove what you claim. As
” It is reasonable to suppose …” Is not at that URL.
Nor is your claim that Korman said “War, was the only lawful means of acquiring territory by force.”
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Christopher Hitchens
Nice try but no cigar.
Interesting debate where the Argentine citizen contributed very interesting points of the British misrepresentation.In any case, the conclusive proof is the treaty itself, which is very clear, just read it.The usurpation of the islands never interrupted political and commercial relations with Great Britain. “End the differences that have interrupted political and commercial relations.”
Oct 25th, 2022 - 01:39 pm - Link - Report abuse -1These differences were caused by the Anglo-French intervention in the Río de la Plata.
In the preamble His Britannic Majesty declares that he has no separate or interested objects in view, this means that the British Government had no other separate or interested matter in view other than the Franco-British blockade of the Río de la Plata and, for this reason, the The British government did not address the Malvinas case in the Treaty.
And the final article that collapses all the British fantasy is the indispensable condition for the Argentine government of the conformity of the Uruguayan President Oribe in any settlement of the existing differences.
Not to mention that the UK never used this treaty to end Argentine claims. Interesting authors Vattel, Wilson, Kelsen, Korman etc, etc,
but so much discussion is not necessary when the treaty is so crystalline.
Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, and his Excellency the Governor and Captain-General of the Province of Buenos Ayres, charged with the foreign relations of the Argentine Confederation, being desirous of putting an end to the existing differences, and of restoring perfect relations of friendship, in accordance with the wishes manifested by both Governments; the Government of Her Britannic Majesty having declared that it has no separate or interested object in view....
Art. I. The Government of Her Britannic Majesty, animated by the desire of putting an end to the differences which have interrupted the political and commercial relations between the 2 countries...
So, the reality is that your attributions to Korman, don’t exist.

Thanks for providing the evidence against yourself, and to all a sundry.
“The British government did not address the Malvinas case in the Treaty.”
They didn’t need, to as they were completely satisfied with the status quo.
If the Islands were an issue to Argentina, then they should have raised it. Since the legal luminaries of the day have stated the legal effect of not doing it.
Esteemed Sr. Argentine Citizen...

Amazing utter silence, except for piffle from the cheap seats. Who doesn’t have any counter- argument, and is reduced to ad hominems.

And all articles to do with decolonization at the UN, if referred to their original intent and source conceptualizing context, are about creating mechanisms through which countries occupied or taken over by more powerful ones, as such invaded or even conquered still unabsorbed as in the cases of European Empires holding various peoples of the world under their guns and authority, could regain their freedom and independence. THAT'S THE REASON THEY; “Article 73”, the decolonization committee, the list of non self governing territories was intended as, and the whole Shebang were created and accepted by the world for the UN Mr Terence Hill. ... However, the wording of this UN sector is always most interesting, using words such as “administrator” instead of “invader”, isn't it? generously leaving reasons loop holes and opportunities for the people living on these occupied territories to easily not have to push, or to find it exceedingly easy to not proceed in its purpose, as well as their “administrative” overloads. Which is quite interesting when one considers the people taken to live on the Malvinas Islands were indeed never invaded or colonized. Yet that never stopped the English (their supposed colonizers or “administrative country”) to insert them themselves in said list of Non Self Governing Territories, oddly.
.
Peachy how that seemed to work out so well for Britain. Somehow they manage to hold on to territory through the use of force against Argentina, who has since then denounced that event as an assault against an integral part of its nation since its inception, yet through a mechanism created to undo such abuses.
... And then Mr Lorto, declares Argentina not being confident and eager enough to seek the arbitration of another “Anglo” international political institution invention. LOL
Sorry sir Terence, I forgot to include the other important article. The consent of a foreign president for the resignation of the islands.

In virtue of the Argentine Government having declared that it would celebrate this Convention on condition that its ally, his Excellency the President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, Brigadier Don Manuel Oribe, should previously agree to it,— this being for the Argentine Government an indispensable condition in any arrangement of the existing differences...
As I told you before, there is no need to mention so many renowned jurists, when reading the treaty it is so easy to dismantle the misrepresentation, not from the British government because it was never presented as evidence, but from some trolls.
