Mondino hails UK-Mauritius understanding on Chagos
Mondino dubbed the British Indian Ocean Territory of Chagos an “obsolete practice” Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino celebrated Thursday's announcement regarding the imminent handover of the British Indian Ocean Territory of Chagos to Mauritius after a dispute of nearly six decades and hinted that a similar path should be followed to ”recover the Malvinas (Falkland).”
“The long dispute between Britain and Mauritius has reached a conclusion, and the Mauritians have succeeded in regaining their Chagos territory. This milestone means ending the last British colony in Africa,” Mondino stressed. “We celebrate this step in the right direction and ending obsolete practices,” she added.

Were Argentina ever to “recover” the Falkland/Malvinas, it would be through “concrete actions and not empty rhetoric,” Mondino also pointed out. “The Malvinas were, are, and will always be Argentine,” the Foreign Minister also underlined. “We are going to recover the sovereignty of our Malvinas Islands,” she insisted on X.
Mondino and her British colleague David Lammy agreed recently to resume a weekly flight from Brazil to the islands, which will stop over once a month in Córdoba.
According to the San Martín Palace, the “renewed stage in the bilateral relationship” between Argentina and the United Kingdom will be “characterized by dialogue and confidence building.”

Really?
You realise that’s worse.
An ignorant who has not looked at the evidence but parrots propaganda they have been fed is one thing…..
But to have read the proper historic evidence (I.e not Kohen propaganda) and to still not see that the Argentine claim is full of blatant lies is astonishing.
There was no inheritance, no eviction, no geographic proximity, and the population despise you for invading them, using them as a human shield and planting unmapped minefields around their homes…the only historic atrocities ever carried out on the islands were by you!
If having looked at all that evidence and you still support the Argentine claim, you are by definition brainwashed.
I also see El Think has risen from his drunken pit to spew his broken and infantile attempt at English. The pickled Turnip with an IQ in single digits.
Dream on dreamer.

Oct 05th, 2024 - 12:22 pm +3Hardly, Argentina is barred from using “territorial integrity” as an argument. As it is a post UN law and cannot be applied retroactively.
“...The rule of the intertemporal law still insists that an act must be characterized in accordance with the law in force at the time it was done, or closely on the next occasion. ...
The Acquisition of Territory in International Law By Robert Yewdall Jenningsa Judge of the International Court of Justice from 1982. He also served as the President of the ICJ between 1991 and 1994. So in spite of your typical Argentine propensity for lying your argument is shown for the fraud that it is
So much for the finality of legal decisions.
But the great thing is all tha parties got what they wanted.
”The European Court of Human Rights has dismissed a case brought by Chagos Islanders claiming the right to return to their home in the Indian Ocean, bringing a long legal battle to a close.
