The Daily Telegraph, 19 April 2012. Warmongering won’t settle this old dispute In the 21st century, Britain should rethink its hostile approach towards Argentina. VERSION ESPAÑOL “ACTITUDES BELICISTAS NO RESOLVERAN ESTA VIEJA DISPUTA” “En el Siglo XXI, Gran Bretaña debería repensar su actitud hostil hacia la Argentina” Sunday 12 October 2014 Top Gear in Argentina: Jeremy Clarkson tried to portray my fellow countrymen as savages We eat a lot of beef, but we have never eaten a journalist In Jeremy Clarkson’s article published by The Sunday Times on 5 October about his attempt to film Top Gear in southern Argentina, he asserted that his life and the lives of his crew were at risk. Media analysts would surely take an interest in studying the way in which this TV presenter constructs a story. To do so he begins by setting himself in the scene of the war that took place 32 years ago, stating: “We knew Ushuaia was the port from which the General Belgrano had sailed on its doomed voyage at the start of the Falklands War...”, recalling the dramatic episode of the ship that was sunk on the orders of Margaret Thatcher, thus triggering a war that should have been avoided. In case anyone should miss his intentions, he ends his article by finding it amusing to repeat The Sun headline “Gotcha” from 1982, which speaks volumes about his particular sense of humour and his political and cultural frames of reference. “The order from London to sink the Belgrano”, The Sunday Times Insight Team remarked in their book The Falklands War published in 1982, “was undoubtedly the most controversial decision of the war” (P.157), one that led to over three hundred deaths. Clarkson arrived in Tierra del Fuego, just 400 miles from the Malvinas Islands, flaunting a car with the number plates “H982 FKL”, evoking the year and the initials of the territory in which the war took place. Subsequently he claimed it was a “mere coincidence” with no intention of provoking a reaction. However, this is not the first occasion on which Clarkson has offended a host country when filming Top Gear in overseas locations, having previously done so in India, South Korea and Mexico. He has been accused and criticised by the public, the broadcasting watchdogs and the press in Britain for his remarks, ranging from racist and homophobic references to simply mocking foreign cultures in a xenophobic fashion. A simple internet search shows over 20 incidents in which Clarkson has offended someone. Argentinian ambassador to the UK, Alicia Castro The presenter – in his column entitled “Make no mistake, lives were at risk” – fabricates an exaggerated story. He describes being ambushed by a mob brandishing “pickaxes”. Later, switching narrative style, he recounts another scene: Clarkson claims that a mob was trying to burn the crew’s cars – which I understand did not actually happen – and he goes so far as to affirm that “one said they were going to barbecue us and eat the meat”. Clarkson’s imperialistic imagination is remarkably fertile: Argentina has never practised cannibalism. We do, it is true, eat a lot of beef. But we have never eaten a journalist. When local people spontaneously gather to repudiate Clarkson’s behaviour, the local authorities immediately interceded to guarantee the safety of all members of the British team securing means of transport, seats in a flight to Buenos Aires and a special treatment to cross the border to Chile. As he ends a tale designed to portray Argentines as savages – and without acknowledging the security extended to him by the government of Tierra del Fuego – Clarkson reflects on what might have caused the protests. Jeremy Clarkson's Top 20 Most Obnoxious Lines He reasons that the troubles were in no way linked to his provocative behaviour, but that they were in fact down to other causes: “We were English...”, he concludes. He seemingly overlooks the fact that there are 250,000 British and descendants of British people living happily in Argentina, and enjoying the respect and friendship of Argentine society as a whole. He is apparently unaware of the fact that in the very same Argentine Patagonia, just a few miles from where he was, lives a community of 70,000 Welsh people who speak their own language, retain their identity and whose settlement is set to reach its 150th anniversary, which we shall be celebrating with them next year. He also does not acknowledge that between early this year a BBC Natural History Unit crew was shooting in Patagonia for 12 days about a major fossil discovery and they were very well received by the entire local community. His version of events will not succeed in discouraging the thousands of British tourists who come every year to the end of the world to visit Patagonia – from Darwin and Chatwin onwards – and who enjoy both the natural environment and our warm Argentine hospitality. It may be too much to ask of people whose job it is to produce shows, that they refrain from fabricating such a horror story or tale of adventure just to get publicity and increase ratings. But we urge media outlets publishing this story to bear in mind that the long-standing relations and ties of friendship shared between the United Kingdom and Argentina afford us an opportunity to foster a dialogue of mutual respect between our peoples and nations. Argentina, along with the entire international community, is calling for dialogue with the UK in order to resolve the sovereignty dispute over the Malvinas by peaceful and diplomatic means. The conflict in the South Atlantic – and especially the memory of those who lost their lives in the war on both sides – deserve to be treated not with malicious mockery, but with understanding and respect. Alicia Castro is the ambassador of Argentina to the UK http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/jeremy-clarkson-tried-to-portray-my-fellow- argentines-as-savages-9790118.html VERSION ESPANOL "Top Gear en Argentina: Jeremy Clarkson trató de retratar a mis compatriotas como salvajes" En el artículo que publicó Jeremy Clarkson en The Sunday Times el 5 de octubre sobre su intento de filmar un episodio del programa Top Gear en el sur de Argentina, aseguró que su vida, y la de los integrantes de su equipo, estuvo en peligro. Los estudiosos de los medios de comunicación seguramente se interesarían en analizar cómo este presentador de TV construye una historia. Para ello, comienza posicionándose en el escenario de la guerra que tuvo lugar hace 32 años y diciendo " Sabíamos que Ushuaia es el puerto del cual el Belgrano navegó hacia su funesto destino al comienzo de la guerra de las Malvinas", rememorando el dramático episodio del buque que fue hundido por orden de Margaret Thatcher, que desencadenó una guerra que debió haberse evitado. En caso de que alguien no advierta sus intenciones, termina su artículo citando el titulo del diario The Sun de 1982 " Gotcha" ("Te agarré "), lo que muestra claramente su particular sentido del humor y sus marcos de referencia políticos y culturales. "La orden de Londres de hundir al Belgrano" remarcó el equipo del Sunday Times en su libro "The Falklands War " (La guerra de Malvinas) publicado en1982, "fue sin dudas la decisión más controvertida de la guerra" (p.157), la que provocó más de trescientas muertes.

  • Argentina and the Falkland Islands
    Argentina and the Falkland Islands Standard Note: SN/IA/5602 Last updated: 27 January 2012 Author: Vaughne Miller Section IADS This Note looks briefly at the government in Argentina under Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who has pursued the Argentinean claim to sovereignty of the Falkland Islands as a constitutional mandate. The arguments on the Argentinean and British sides have not changed with a change of government, while recent developments such as changes to the way in which fishing licences are issued and oil exploration around the Falklands, are continuing to affect bilateral relations. The Falklands/Malvinas are regularly debated at the United Nations Committee on Decolonization, at which a resolution is adopted calling on the two sides to talk about the issues. Successive UK governments have insisted that it is the Falkland Islanders themselves who have the right to decide on their destiny. Argentina maintains that the UN principle of the right to self-determination does not apply in the case of the Falklanders. Both the UK and Argentina accuse each other of colonialism. See Standard Note 6201 for information on the defence of the Falklands. Contents 1 The Argentinean Government 2 1.1 Néstor Kirchner Government 2 1.2 Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Government 4 2 UK relations with Argentina 6 3 The Falkland Islands 8 3.1 UK Government’s position on Falklands sovereignty 8 3.2 Argentinean views on sovereignty of the Malvinas 10 This information is provided to Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary duties and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual.

    Submission to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights By Minority Rights Group International United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 58th Session, 6 - 24 June 2016 54 Commercial Street, London E1 6LT, United Kingdom Tel. +44 20 7422 4200, Fax +44 20 7422 4201, www.minorityrights.org Contact: Mr. Glenn PAYOT, Geneva Representative, +41 78 881 52 91, [email protected] Introduction: Minority Rights Group International (MRG) is an international NGO working to secure the rights of ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities worldwide. MRG has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), observer status with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) and is a civil society organisation registered with the Organization of American States (OAS). MRG and its partners have researched and advocated for the rights of the Chagos Islanders for many years. In line with the mandate of MRG, this report focuses on the behaviour of the Government of the United Kingdom towards the Chagos Islanders in light of its obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (‘the Covenant’). It provides an overview of the situation of the Chagos Islanders and updates the Committee on the legal developments since the consideration of the previous periodic report of the UK. The report will then contest the inapplicability of the Covenant in the BIOT as well as evaluate the UK’s behaviour towards the displaced residents of the BIOT in light of its obligations under the Covenant. 1. Overview of the Situation a. Removal of the population Up until the 1960s, the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean were inhabited by an indigenous people, the Ilois (also known as Chagossians), who were born there, as were their parents and many of their ancestors.

  • Stormy Waters: Britain, the Falkland Islands and UK–Argentine Relations
    Stormy waters: Britain, the Falkland Islands and UK–Argentine relations KLAUS DODDS* On $& January "#$" the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, updated the House of Commons about his government’s position on the Falkland Islands: The absolutely vital point is that we are clear that the future of the Falkland Islands is a matter for the people themselves. As long as they want to remain part of the United Kingdom and be British, they should be able to do so. That is absolutely key. I am deter- mined to make sure that our defences and everything else are in order, which is why the National Security Council discussed the issue yesterday. The key point is that we support the Falkland Islanders’ right to self-determination. I would argue that what the Argentin- ians have said recently is far more like colonialism, as these people want to remain British and the Argentinians want them to do something else.$ The previous day, the Prime Minister had chaired a debate about the Falkland Islands and its defence within the National Security Council, which since May "#$# is charged with coordinating and overseeing issues relating to national security, intelligence-gathering/coordination and defence strategy." Leaving aside the suggestion by a British prime minister that the Argentines were behaving like colonialists,' something that would have caused anger in Buenos Aires, Cameron’s statement was indicative of worsening relations between Britain and Argentina. The '#th anniversary of the Falklands conflict has coincided, perhaps unsurprisingly given increased political and media attention, * This article has benefited from a series of background interviews with o0cials attached to the Foreign and Commonwealth O0ce, the Ministry of Defence, the Falkland Islands Government London o0ce and the British Antarctic Survey.

  • 1982 UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION on the LAW of the SEA MAURITIUS V. UNITED KINGDOM
    1982 UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA IN THE DISPUTE CONCERNING THE ‘MARINE PROTECTED AREA’ RELATED TO THE CHAGOS ARCHIPELAGO MAURITIUS v. UNITED KINGDOM NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 287 AND ANNEX VII, ARTICLE 1 OF UNCLOS AND THE STATEMENT OF THE CLAIM AND GROUNDS ON WHICH IT IS BASED 20 DECEMBER 2010 D124993.2 1982 UNCLOS - ANNEX VII ARBITRATION NOTIFICATION AND STATEMENT OF CLAIM 1. By decision dated 1 April 2010 the United Kingdom purported to establish a ‘Marine Protected Area’ (‘MPA’) in the so-called ‘British Indian Ocean Territory’ to cover the entire 200 mile zone that the United Kingdom has purported to declare around the Chagos Archipelago.1 The ‘MPA’ covers an area of more than half a million square kilometres, within which all fishing and other activities are prohibited. The United Kingdom purported to bring the ‘MPA’ into force on 1 November 2010. The purported establishment of the ‘MPA’ violates the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (‘the 1982 Convention’), to which Mauritius and the United Kingdom are party, and other rules of international law not incompatible with the 1982 Convention. Mauritius makes this Application, which comprises a Notification and Statement of Claim required by Article 1 of Annex VII of the 1982 Convention, in relation to a dispute concerning the legality of the ‘MPA’ under the 1982 Convention and to obtain an authoritative and legally binding declaration to that effect. THE ‘MPA’ DISPUTE 2. The dispute over the ‘MPA’ arises against the background of longstanding differences between Mauritius and the United Kingdom.
