    The Argentine Republic rejects the claim to extend to the Falkland Islands the application of the International Convention against Doping in Sport, adopted in Paris on 19 October 2005 by the General Conference of UNESCO, notified to the Director-General of UNESCO by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 25 April 2006, and reaffirms its rights of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, which form an integral part of its national territory and, being illegally occupied by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are the subject of a sovereignty dispute between the two countries, which has been recognized by several international organizations. In this regard, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9, 38/12, 39/6, 40/21, 41/40, 42/19 and 43/25, in which it recognized the existence of a dispute over sovereignty in relation to the question of the Falkland Islands and urged the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to initiate negotiations with a view to finding a peaceful and lasting solution to the sovereignty dispute as soon as possible. For its part, the Special Committee on Decolonisation of the United Nations has repeatedly made similar appeals, most recently in the resolution adopted on 15 June 2006. Similarly, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States adopted a new resolution on the subject on 6 June 2006.

    It is the understanding of the United States of America that nothing in this Convention obligates the United States to provide funding to the World Anti-Doping Agency. Pursuant to Article 2 (4), which defines "Athlete" for purposes of doping control as "any person who participates in sport at the international or national level as defined by each national anti-doping organization and accepted by States Parties and any additional person who participates in a sport or event at a lower level accepted by States Parties", the United States of America declares that "Athlete" for purposes of doping control means any athlete determined by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to be subject to or to have accepted the World Anti-Doping Code.
