Argentina takes issue at UN again
Argentina said Britain has "a duty" to negotiate the future of the Falkland Islands ahead of a UN meeting on the disputed territory on Thursday's 30th anniversary of the end of war between the two countries.
President Cristina Kirchner will lead a delegation of more than 90 Argentine diplomats and officials at the UN decolonistion committee's annual meeting on the Falklands and 15 other territories around the world.
Two of the eight members of the Falklands legislative assembly will put the case that the 3,000 population want to remain under the British flag.
Britain, whose troops ended a 74-day Argentine occupation of the South Atlantic islands on June 14, 1982, has always refused talks saying the population should decide their own future. It boycotts the committee meetings.
