Argentine ambassador to UN regrets Cameron's sovereignty remarks

The Argentine ambassador to the UN, Jorge Argüello, reiterated Argentina’s disappointment over British Prime Minister, David Cameron’s approach to Malvinas islands sovereignty, and said that it’s “worrying and irritating to hear the British Prime Minister confirm what everybody was thinking; also neglecting to abide by UN resolution.”

The ambassador’s comments came in response to Cameron’s firm statement yesterday to the House of Commons, in that claiming sovereignty over the Malvinas islands, “is not negotiable”.

During a radio interview, Argüello also restated that Britain’s position in the UN’s Security Council should be “reconsidered”.

“The international community should carefully reconsider the status of countries that continue to form a permanent part of the Security Council; especially those who systematically ignore or violate General Assembly decisions,” Argüello said.
