Jan 20th, 2023 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse +4Fact 1 - They have it written into their Constitution since the late 80s/early 90s that the Islands are part of their Territory.
Therefore they are unable to sit and discuss potential future Sovereignty Options even if we were prepared to - as ALL they will be able to discuss is a handover date!!
That is undemocratic and against the charter of the UN- therefore we Islanders see no point in any so called discussion - and thus neither does the UK.
As for no big use of force - well who used armed force with their entire fleet and amphibious landing marines and special forces on April 2nd against about 50 lightly armed British marines and a couple of a dozen Falklands Volunteers Defence Force armed with 2d World War rifles?
And tried in the process to catch the British marines had they still been in their Barracks, with phosphorous grenades and other weapons to try and burn them alive.
It really is about time Argentina got over being firmly defeated for their massive breach of International Law in 1982 - and try to move out of the 18th and 19th Century in to the 21st.
Argentina’s constitution destroys her claim to the Falklands.

For some an inconvenient truth.
What about the Argentines complete lack of respect for the rights of the people of the Falkland Islands to choose their own destiny? That right is enshrined in International law.
