LETTER : Argentina's rights
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I refer to Phil Davison's article "Argentina backs off Falklands claim" (6 June).
The title chosen for the article and certain insinuations made by The Independent's Latin American correspondent about statements by the Argentine Foreign Minister, Guido Di Tella, are misleading.
Indeed, Argentina has not dropped and does not intend to drop her claim to the Malvinas Islands. Since 1994 a specific provision in the Constitution clearly refers to this issue. The same clause also establishes that Argentina's rights to the islands will be pursued exclusively in accordance with international law. My country is therefore constitutionally committed to finding a mutually satisfactory settlement for the sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom.
