    “Approved a declaration defending Argentina's “legitimate rights”

    Since they have none, under international law, that’s a no brainer.

    The General Assembly would reaffirm the inalienable right of the peoples of Non-Self-Governing Territories to self-determination, including -- if they so wished -- independence, by the terms of one of seven draft resolutions and two decisions on decolonization questions approved this afternoon by the Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization).

    Following the conclusion this afternoon of its general debate, the Committee, acting without a vote, approved that two-part consolidated text on small island Territories, by which the Assembly would reaffirm that it is ultimately for the people of the remaining 16 Territories on the Committee's list to determine freely their future political status.”

    @Terence Hill - firmly agree. What 'inalienable' rights? Justify that point, please, Mr Almagro.
    The only reason the Chinese are sticking their oar into this (they have no connection with the OAS) is that they are trying to exercise their colonial cl;ain on Taiwan, as well as wanting to sink their trading claws into Argentina and S. America in the same way as they have done in Africa and Sri Lanka.

    ''......the UK is intent on dragging out the dispute in the hope that as long as the status quo is maintained, its actual occupation of the islands can become a fait accompli'' ?????
    There is no dispute to drag out and, as the Islands have been in British control since 1833 and beyond, it would seem that the actual occupation is already a fait accompli.
    How much more 'accompli' can a 'fait' be after 189 years????

    Who really cares what the communist dictator of China thinks about the Falklands Islands,
    it is totally irrelevant.

    I fail to see why Marxist UK traitors support in England “One Nation China Policy”, this is a continuation of the Attlee attack on the British Empire while allowing the expansion of the Marxist Empires.
    One Nation China is an imperialist policy to occupy Taiwan and flatten Tibetan culture and let us not even think of talking about Xinjiang the Uygur Autonomous Region! Anything but autonomous, plenty of slavery and organ harvesting.
    China is a terrorist state which is also in agreement with Argentina to have a Chinese Naval Base in Tierra del Fuego in addition to the Chinese Army Base in Rio Negro!
    We may have to consider making Mount Pleasant an effective part of NATO as the Taiwan Straight gets hotter and hotter, as Imperial China expands let us start by denouncing the One Nation China policy as unacceptable (it was always an atrocity a continuation of the Truman betrayal of free China).
    Let us give the Tibetans and Embassy in London as well!
    China has also been lending money and brainwashing to the Caribbean islands to make them republics.
    Time to get tough with China.

    LOL LOL LOL LOL... You all sound so desperately pathetic, it's a gas!!
    “China a terrorist state”!??? ROFLMAO !! hilarious! What does that make England then, THE EVIL EMPIRE OF THE PLANET!!?? HAHHAHAHAHAHA
    You're civilization will come to an end sooner or later, you've done nothing more than keep the world at war, and create problems where there weren't any. You want to keep others from developing strong independently while subjugate others to only grow entrapped into your political and economic systems. Segregating the societies of the world by force promoting ridiculously absurd ideologies. Your archaic monarchical superiorist bigoted mentality is indeed the world's problem. Your language the vehicle of unending false narratives and lies everyone must go by, except now finally we're all starting to see it. ... Your days are numbered.
    MMBUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Trimonde, do you know how ridiculous you sound, your conspiracy theories are raving bonkers, no one is desperate about anything, only you in your alternate universe think that,
    Britain has no wish to stop anyone developing, only in your warped mind. our days are numbered , why ?, The Falklands will still be around long after you and I are gone from this planet, and any wishful thinking by yourself , an American born Italian named Argentine is just that a wish,
    oh and by the way, the Chinese revolution killed more of its own people than any European country ever did anywhere, and still today they kill and torture muslims , annexed Tibet, destroyed democracy in Hong Kong, want to wage war on Taiwan, so let that sink i to you addled brain,

    It is only natural that Argentina and China support each other. They both want to subjugate and oppress island communities off their coasts. For no other reason than national pride.
