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” ALICIA CASTRO Thursday 2 April 2015 Argentina poses no military threat to the Malvinas Islands. So why is the UK ratcheting up tension? This smacks of an attempt to give David Cameron an electoral boost On 24 March, the day that a debate was held in Parliament over the increase in defence expenditure for the Malvinas Islands, Argentina was commemorating the anniversary of the 1976 military coup. We Argentines staunchly defend democracy. On that day we reaffirm that there will never again be a military dictatorship in our country: “Never Again” is the title of the 1985 Commission Report that investigated the many thousands that were killed and disappeared during that regime (1976-1983). On 2 April, the anniversary of the outbreak of the Malvinas war, we commemorate the veterans and those fallen in that conflict, reiterating that Argentina will never ever again go to war over the Malvinas Islands. For it was the same brutal dictatorship, in an attempt to cling on to its eroding power, that led us into the conflict. I went to Parliament on 24 March, along with other Embassy officials, to attend the session on “urgent questions” to the Secretary of State for Defence. The Sun newspaper warned on its front page of the threat of an “invasion”, announcing in hyperbolically dramatic headlines the imminent dispatch of troops to the Malvinas and illustrating the alleged risks with a collage of photos of Putin, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Sukhoi bombers. This was a perfect demonstration of how the media can construct a fiction. Even though Secretary of State Fallon did not confirm these press speculations, he insisted on the need to defend the inhabitants of the Islands from the “threat” posed by Argentina’s claim. He announced that the base would maintain its 1,200 soldiers, which, compared to a civilian population numbering nearly 2,000 makes the Malvinas Islands one of the most militarised areas in the world. Yet Fallon stated that the military presence is “proportionate to the threats and risks we face” and reported that he will reinforce and modernise the military infrastructure, which will require an investment of £180m pounds to be spent over the next 10 years, in addition to the regular annual budget. Yet Argentina poses no military threat to the inhabitants of Malvinas Islands. One could infer that the Conservative government, in the run-up to the election, is trying to raise the spectre of 1982 in order to reawaken the figure of Margaret Thatcher, who gained a tremendous electoral boost from that war. It also seems clear that the government is seeking to safeguard the defence budget. In the first televised election debate, David Cameron was unable to justify the fact that the number of food banks had risen dramatically from 66 to 421 during his term in office, with almost a million people depending on this aid in a rich country. In the context of drastic cuts to health, education and social benefits, many people do not want to see their taxes invested in defence spending, especially if it is to maintain a costly military base on some remote islands, to prevent an invasion that will never occur. Of the 28 MPs who took part in the debate of 24 March, five made critical interventions, among them Vernon Coaker, Labour’s shadow Secretary of State for Defence, who said: “The deterrent of enhanced military capabilities is to be welcomed, but surely we can all agree that the best way forward is diplomacy,” and asked what diplomatic initiatives are currently being undertaken. The Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn complained that the Secretary of State failed to mention any diplomatic initiatives: “Will he be more specific: what political, diplomatic and defence discussions has he had with Brazil, Uruguay or Argentina to reduce tensions and stress in the area, rather than proposing to spend £180m?,” he asked. MP Barry Sheerman complained that rather than evoking the whiff of gunpowder and the sound of sabre- rattling, a mature parliamentary democracy “should be talking to the Government of Argentina at the most senior diplomatic level...” The Welsh Conservative MP David Davies, who has strong links with the Welsh community in our country, joined in, demanding that efforts continue to be made to improve diplomatic relations with all countries in our region. The interventions of these MPs are a clear reflection of the fact that there currently exist different views on the Malvinas Question in the UK. I would like to highlight another closely related issue. The Labour Party has just welcomed John Prescott, former deputy PM to Tony Blair, into its electoral campaign. We note that John Prescott, writing in an article recently published in The Mirror, agrees with us in condemning the British government’s double standards in foreign policy. “40 years ago, in one of the most shameful acts committed by a British government,” he recalls, the UK leased the island of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Archipelago to the United States to build an airbase, evicting all of its inhabitants, who were forced to live in the Republic of Mauritius. It has been confirmed that this US base was used by the CIA for torture and illegal renditions. Discussions are now being held to look into the possibility of repatriating the native inhabitants to their island and the British government is considering the high costs of this operation. “And if anyone complains about the cost - Prescott states – “might I remind them that we spend £65mn a year helping another group of British islanders. Except they live on the Falklands, were granted a referendum and they’re white. In total, since 1982 we’ll have spent more than £1bn maintaining those 2,000 islanders, £500,000 each.” We know that during election time politicians identify areas that are sensitive to public opinion. It is possible, then, that there is a growing number of British people who reject double standards, hypocrisy and colonialism. If this is this case, then we are a step closer to reaching a mature dialogue on the Malvinas Question between two sovereign nations.

  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.

  • Basing Rights and Contested Sovereignty in Greenland and Diego Garcia
    DCP-2019-U-021803-Final Basing Rights and Contested Sovereignty in Greenland and Diego Garcia The Impact of Decolonization on US and Allied Access in the Era of Great Power Competition A CNA Event Note Rapporteur: Cornell Overfield Summary On August 21, 2019, CNA’s Strategy and Policy Analysis program hosted an on-the-record event to discuss how recent developments in sovereignty politics could affect US military basing rights around the world, particularly in Greenland and Diego Garcia. Both are currently part of US allies’ territories—the former as a constituent within the Kingdom of Denmark and the latter as the largest island in the British Indian Ocean Territory—but the status of either one (or both) could change, if Mauritius successfully pressures the UK to cede Diego Garcia, or if Greenland acquires its independence. The event featured CNA senior vice president Mr. Mark Rosen, CNA analyst Dr. Steven Wills, and Ms. Rachel Ellehuus, deputy director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Europe program. Ms. Nilanthi Samaranayake, director of CNA’s Strategy and Policy Analysis program, moderated the conversation. Panelists appraised recent developments with Greenland and Diego Garcia in their historical perspective, as well as the strategic and operational advantages of US access to the two locations. Discussants noted that the bases are key enablers of US military missions, from force projection to submarine tracking, yet agreed that the US approach to basing could benefit from both a greater appreciation of long-term strategic needs and a more concerted effort to make US bases acceptable to local populations and their governments.

  • Rat Density on Diego Garcia: Implications for Eradication Feasibility
    Poster Presentation Rat Density on Diego Garcia: Implications for Eradication Feasibility Scott Vogt U.S. Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering, Far East Command, Yokosuka, Japan Daniel S. Vice USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, HI/GU/Pacific Islands Office, Barrigada, Guam William C. Pitt USDA APHIS WS/National Wildlife Research Center, Hawaii Field Station, Hilo Antenor Nestor Guzman and Ernesto J. Necessario U.S. Navy Support Facility, Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory Are R. Berentsen USDA APHIS WS National Wildlife Research Center, Fort Collins, Colorado ABSTRACT: Introduced black rats are among the most invasive species to islands worldwide. In addition to agricultural impacts, rats are vectors of disease, cause damage to native flora and fauna, and negatively impact threatened/endangered species. Eradication efforts have met with mixed success. Success or failure of an eradication effort can depend on the population density of the target species, which can influence rodenticide sowing rates. We used snap trapping grids to estimate black rat densities in two different forest types on Diego Garcia: coconut forest and mixed species forest. Individual snap traps baited with fresh coconut were placed every 10 m in a 100-m × 100-m (1 ha) grid in the mixed forest and every 20 m in a 220-m × 220-m grid (4.8 ha) in the coconut forest. Traps were checked twice daily for 7 and 11 days in the mixed and coconut forest, respectively. In total, 914 rats were captured on the coconut forest grid and 125 rats were captured on the mixed forest grid. Rat density in coconut forest was 187 rats/ha (95% CI: 176-201) and 88 rats/ha (95% CI: 82-104) in mixed forest.

The 1996 Chagos Expedition provided the first opportunity to study the archipelago’s lichen flora. Seventeen of the 55 islands were ecologically investigated, some in more detail than others, and lists and representative collections of lichens have been assembled for many of them. In all, 67 taxa have been recorded, 52 to specific level. Although the islands have a low biodiversity for cryptogamic plants, as would be expected in terms of their relatively young age, remoteness and small terrestrial surface areas, those taxa that are present are often found in abundance and play significant ecological roles.

  • 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.
