FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The draft document, known as the “Ushuaia Declaration,” was adopted ahead of the 30th anniversary of the war between Argentina and Britain over the islands, also known as the Falklands.
The declaration also rejected “the persistent colonialist and militarist attitude of the United Kingdom” and warned against the “militarization” of the Malvinas.
Britain has deployed its most sophisticated warship, HMS Dauntless, and a nuclear submarine to the South Atlantic to prevent Argentina’s possible counter-move.
Tensions have been mounting in recent months over the South Atlantic islands, with the UN calling on Britain to discuss decolonization, but the UK has so far refused to do so.
The Malvinas Islands, located about 300 miles off Argentina’s coast and home to about 3,000 inhabitants, have been declared as part of the British Overseas Territories since Britain established its colonial rule on the islands in 1833.
Argentina, however, has repeatedly dismissed the British claim over the archipelago.
Britain and Argentina also fought a 74-day war in 1982 over the islands, which ended with the British side claiming victory over Argentineans.
A year after the war, the UK enforced the British Nationality Act of 1983, which offers citizenship to the islanders.
Tensions between the two countries have re-escalated since 2010 when London authorized oil prospecting around the islands.
