UN Committee passes resolution urging 'peaceful, long lasting solution'

The UN Decolonization Committee passed by general consensus a resolution urging Argentina and the United Kingdom to “restart negotiations in order to fin as soon as possible a peaceful, just and long lasting solution” to the Malvinas Islands conflict.

The resolution, which the committee will use to closely follow the matter, insists that “the way to put an end to the special and particular colonial situation in the Malvinas matter is a peaceful and negotiated solution to the sovereignty controversy currently affecting Argentina and the United Kingdom.”
