They say - ‘the UN is very clear. Self-determination applies to native people, not to
people that have been implanted.’ (Oil Fuels British – Argentinian Stand-Off over Falklands, Abbas, M. Reuters, 6 Feb 2013, quoting Argentinian Foreign Minister Hector Timerman).

original natives that were currently being subjugated to a certain colonial power…’155 (Argentina’s Ambassador to London Dismisses Referendum, Buenos Aires Herald quoting Alicia Castro, 12 March 2013).
