  • Paper 14 2000 – 2015 Harassment & Referenda
    Falklands Wars – the History of the Falkland Islands: with particular regard to Spanish and Argentine pretensions and taking some account of South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands and Britain's Antarctic Territories by Roger Lorton 1 Paper 14 2000 – 2015 Harassment & Referenda “measures deliberately taken to make life more difficult for Falkland Islanders”2 ◈ During the first half of the 20th century, Argentina had employed a series of petty actions against Great Britain in the South Atlantic – described by one British official at the time as 'pin-pricks'. If the objective had been to annoy the British into recognising Argentine rights those areas below 50° S latitude then the policy failed. If its aim had been to remind the UK on a regular basis that neither Argentina nor its claims had gone away, the policy may well be seen as having some limited success. With no obvious way forward after diplomatic relations were resumed in 1990, some Argentine Governments reverted to this policy of childish annoyance – aimed very specifically at the Falkland Islanders. This paper details the actions, in particular, of the Kirchner administrations and the noise those produced in forums around the world. 2000 – January 3rd, Argentina issues its annual statement; “On 3 January 1833, British forces occupied the Malvinas Islands,.. today marks the 167th anniversary of that illegitimate occupation,..” January 8th, the owners of a Falklands registered yacht, Golden Fleece, having docked at Ushuaia to pick up a film crew, are told not to return to any Argentine port as the Falklands registry is no longer recognised. 3 January 23rd, following a complaint, the Falkland Islands Government are informed that Falklands flagged vessels will be allowed to dock at Argentine ports.
