This year, the Ruda Statement turns 50 and the British Government has done nothing but try to discredit Argentina`s solid position. Instead of complying with international law and UN resolutions, the UK distors reality in an attempt to force a malicious version of “their” story. Last week, they started a campaign in which Ambassador Ruda is being attacked.
Ambassador Ruda was an outstanding diplomat, who had the honor to present Argentina`s case at the United Nations. Because of his action, the world recognized Argentina`s rights and the need to settle a sovereignity dispute whose existence the UK simply denied… (and continues to deny). As a result of Ruda`s statement, the General Assemby of the UN adopted a resolution on the “Question of the Malvinas Islands.”
I present the true facts on the Question of the Malvinas Islands to contribute to set the record straight.
Truth Will Always Prevail.

Malvinas Islands: Facts and Fictions

The truth will prevail so it is such a pity that you do not tell it. All that is here is a collection of propaganda pieces that are easily disproven. Your nonsense about Magellan’s discovery for example. Not even Argentina’s own historians recognise that nonsense.
Your claims are destroyed already.

No you do not present the true facts, you present the one sided lies and fiction that your government has peddled since Peron. There is no international law that states the UK has to hand over the sovereignty of the Islands and the UN resolutions are non binding. THe UK, as stated by Ban KI Moon are not in breech of any current UN resolutions. Argentina on the other hand, with regard to the Falklands has ignored two binding UNSC resolutions.
The People on the Islands have a right to Self Determination as enshrined in the UN mandate, all NSGT, that is all (no exceptions or special cases are mentioned) are entitled to self determination. Please provide a UN GA resolution that states the people of the Islands are not entitled. In 2008 the UN had a vote, sponsored by Argentina and Spain to limit the right of Self Determination to those territories that do not have a sovereignty dispute pending. The vote went against Argentina and Spain, therefore it is clear that the UN does indeed think that they have a right to slef determination.

Provide name if you want to get a straight answer. You are very confused. I was told that the UK has been using a very cheap argument regarding an interview of Ban ki-Moon with Tiempo Argentino in 2013. Now I understand why my friends said that: you make no sense. In your aim to discredit Argentina you are making no sense at all. Use other arguments instead of creating (and cheap) ones.

Funny Marcos, you have not provided on shread of evidence to counter my post, yet you try to make out that I am the one that is confused. You know full well you cannot counter the facts I have stated regarding the UN resolutions. You cannot provide any documents that support your initial statements, they are purely your opinion. Marcos, you are entitled to your opinion, but not to your own facts.
Now provide a UNGA document that states the Islanders are not entitled to Self Determination……you can’t can you because like all the other ‘Facts’ in this blog, they do not exist except in your indoctrinated mind.

Can you provide a link, or reference, to any documents relating to Magellan discovering the Falkland Islands in 1520?
I have heard that Gomez was the one who saw the islands, but he deserted and returned to Portugal, where he was imprisoned in 1521.

Yeah, the link you provide to the Vatican map is too small to read, however this link might help you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_America-Ribero_%281529%29.jpeg
If you check the link to a larger map, dated 1529, you will see that Ribero stops just south of the River Plate. It is also known as the “propaganda map”, which doesn’t help your case either. On neither of these maps does the Falkland Islands feature.
Your link to the C24 document has no relevance as it relates to the 2015 reiteration to a powerless group.
I asked for evidence that Magellan had sighted the Falklands. You are merely proving that no such evidence exists.

There is a very nice book for you to read and learn in which they list many communications you have no idea they exist. Instead of reading cheap translation of bad newspapers in Argentina. In the end, Ban ki Moon is your employee, in case you are not familiar- because I see you are not- with the UN and how it works:
“This is a list of papers that prove the “secret questions” of British diplomacy on the right, invoked by the government of Margaret Thatcher to wage war in the South Atlantic:
Memorandum of Bernhardt (1910). At the request of the head of the US Department of the Foreign Office, Sydney Spicer, the researcher Gaston De Bernhardt prepared a memorandum condensed history of the islands and the legal arguments Britain and Argentina. That internal memorandum served as guide Foreign Office until 1938. Bernhardt made it clear that:
“The issue of sovereignty was specifically excluded from the agreement with Spain in 1771.” This agreement contained a secret clause that forced Britain to abandon the islands, which it did in 1774.
“For 55 years, until 1829 (ie, 13 years after the proclamation of independence of Argentina), Britain showed no interest in the islands.”
“Britain began to claim the eastern island only in 1829” (never had claimed during the Spanish domain; this is the island where is Stanley).
Charter Spicer (1910). In a letter to own Bernhardt, Spicer admitted: “It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the attitude of the Argentine government is not entirely unjustified, and that our action has been somewhat despotic”.
Memorandum Fitzmaurice (1936). In February 1936, George Fitzmaurice’s legal counsel advised against Britain submit the question of the Malvinas to international arbitration: “Our position has certain weaknesses. But we have occupied the islands for more than a century (albeit illegally, such as Argentina says) and for strategic reasons we can not give them up. So it is best to take a hard line. ”
Troutbeck Memorandum (1936). That same year, the head of the American department of the Foreign Office, John Troutbeck, let sit a written opinion: “The difficulty [to hold] our position is that the capture of the Falkland Islands in 1833 was an arbitrary procedure if it judging criteria today. It is, therefore, easy to explain our position without being as international bandits “.
Proposal to return the islands to Argentina (1940). This document contains the index of the Public Record Office but will remain secret until 2015. The title, however, is quite explicit: “offer made by the government of His Majesty to reunify the Falkland Islands with Argentina and accept leased” .
Research Department memorandum (1946). This document describes the British occupation of the islands in 1833, as “an unjustifiable act of aggression.”
Apart from this background are public, revealing that Britain had abandoned all pretense of sovereignty over the Malvinas acts.
It constituted the United Nations, the archipelago recorded as “non-self governing territory under British administration”: an elliptical way of referring to a colony.
The Special Committee on Decolonization (UN) declared that the Malvinas were subject to the decolonization process, it urged in 1960 by the United Nations General Assembly.
In 1965, Britain and Argentina began to negotiate the future of the islands in the framework of the UN: London recognized, in fact, the colonial status of the Malvinas, their only argument for delaying the reintegration of the archipelago to Argentina was the will of the islanders. The Crown no longer invoked titles on the islands.
The right to self-determination raised by Britain for the islanders, only arises in the case of a population that demands its independence, something they never did or could make the 1800 inhabitants of the British colony.”

There was no secret terms in the 1771 agreement. Tell a lie often enough, its still a lie.
It was actually Spain that proposed an agreement that both sides would agree to abandon the islands. The UK refused to do so.
I have a copy of the Bernhardt memo, it doesn’t say what you claim it does. I wouldn’t give any credence to members of the Revisionista movement, as Dr Goebels observed, they simply make things up and the work lacks scholarly standards.
