Looks like another deception.
The proper place to discuss a sovereignty dispute is with the UNICJ.

I imagine the Sec Gen groaned inwardly, smiled, and gave the standard response. Hardly worth reporting on is it, other than for Argentine domestic consumption (pre-election). Perhaps Sr Fernandez should report to the public how much progress has been make through his (inherited) inhumane and un-Christian approach.

Dead issue. There is only one way that is going to happen. The Falkland Islands question has been decided. Get over it.

Currently I'm enjoying an avocado bacon lettuce sandwich.
Avocado Aioli, along with tips and serving suggestions, but the basic idea is to blend together a ripe Hass avocado with garlic, lemon juice and oil until the mixture is light and creamy, like mayonnaise. Then it’s spread generously on a slice of toasted bread, topped with crisp lettuce, bacon, thick slices of tomatoes a few slices of avocado and another piece of toasted bread. The end result is a mouthwatering sandwich that is rich, salty, juicy and incredibly delicious.
¡Saludos de Panquehue!
I am sure the UN are sick to death of this constant moaning about the Falklands, if the looney tunes Peronists are so confident why have they never took it to the international court of justice . is it election time in Argentina ?

Sep 19th, 2023 - 06:41 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Argentina: There's the islands we want sovereignty of
UN: Oh yes
Argentina: Yes but there is nearly 4000 islanders whose ancestors have lived there for 190 years
UN: Oh
Argentina: Yeah but we had them before
UN: You had 4000 islanders for 190 years?
Argentina: Not exactly, we told a German businessman and his British deputy they could set a business up there, it failed, they left after 3 years, 190 years ago, we also made up a story where they were thrown off the islands by the British
UN: It doesn't really help does it?
Argentina: Oh I forgot, we also inherited the islands from Spain
UN: Ah, so there was a Spanish population who became Argentina at independence, and they were thrown off by the British
Argentina: Not exactly, they left voluntarily, returned to Spain and the islands were mostly uninhabited for 20 years
UN: I see
Argentina: But the islands are on our continental shelf
UN: Your what now?
Argentina: Our continental shelf, you know, all island groups within 300 miles automatically belong to the mainland
UN: Erm, no but territorial integrity, so the islands were right next door when Britain took them in 1833?
Argentina: Erm, not exactly, we took Patagonia 50 years later, there was a bit of a genocide, we don't like to talk about it.
UN: and the Islanders you'd honour their right to self-determination right,
Argentina: Thats a tricky one too, we've sort of called them an implanted European population on American soil
UN: Isn't everyone in the Americas......tell you what, how about I offer my good offices if stop this nonsense!

Saudações!
Maybe the British and Falkland islanders should take it to the ICJ ? Why havnt they done so?
Sep 21st, 2023 - 01:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is the likely outcome and maybe it would shut the argies up for once or at least a strong argument for UN to consider the matter closed.
