... The Government of Argentina reminds that the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces are an integral part of the territory of the Argentine Republic and, being illegitimately occupied by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are the subject of a sovereignty dispute between both countries, recognized by the United Nations and several other international and regional organizations.
In this regard, the Government of Argentina reminds that the United Nations General Assembly has 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 recognizes the existence of a sovereig nty dispute over the "Question of the Malvinas Islands" and urges the governments of the Argentine Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to resume negotiations in order to reach as soon as possible, a peaceful and definitive solution to the dispute. The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization has repeatedly stated its position along the same lines, most recently through the resolution adopted on 18 June 2009. It is also worth mentioning that since 1982 the United Kingdom has not honored the request by the international community to assume negotiations with the Republic of Argentina about the sovereignty issue.
In light of the above stated, the Government of Argentina rejects all references to the so called "Falkland Islands, "Falkland Islands and Dependencies" and "South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands" and reiterates its rejection of the extension of the territoria I implementation of the London Convention and its Protocol by the United Kingdom on the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime spaces.
Furthermore, the Government of Argentina objects that the International Maritime Organization (IMO) includes references to the above mentioned Argentinean archipelagos, which are subject of the aforementioned sovereignty dispute, in official documents of the Organization using only the nomenclature used by the power that illegitimately occupies said archipelago, and in the case of the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, not referring to the existence of the aforementioned controversies.
