  • 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.
