….Decolonization to the Memory of the Departed "The Malvinas archipelago (hereafter Malvinas), or Falkland Islands as it is designated by the United Kingdom (UK), represents an interesting situation for revisiting questions and test theories about the evolution of international law. This was the case even before the armed conflict between Argentina and the UK in 1982. The armed conflict brought to a wider audience the unresolved aspects of decolonization at the end of the century, while also representing a milestone in the implementation of international humanitarian law. Today, the issues arising from Malvinas mirror the challenges that Post-Bellum and decolonization situations still pose today. The recent advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding Legal Consequences of the Separation of the Chagos Archipelago from Mauritius in 1965 – and the subsequent Resolution 295/73 of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) affirming that the continued administration of the Archipelago constitutes a wrongful act – presents a new opportunity to revisit Malvinas.

"right to self-determination": I thought the Falkland Islanders voted to remain part of the UK a very long time ago. Well, they did in 2013, anyway, not as long ago as I thought: link |

Putting aside the questions of the Falklands Islands sovereignty, which are settled by population that has its own established representation having no interest in being 'decolonised'. Argentinians are not native to the Falklands, so its always been a question of which group of colonists has the right to govern the Falklands and I'm happy to side with the local population's self determination. I find the attempt to link a native population removed from ancestral land to the Falklands which had no native population before it was repeatedly colonised by several nations somewhat of a stretch. Every effort should be made to discover the identity of those that died during the liberation of the Falklands. |
