Kirchner says Falklands is 'global issue' Mrs Kirchner addressed the UN committee on decolonistation in June and demanded that the UK discuss the future of the islands with Argentina. But the Prime Minister David Cameron insisted that there would be "no negotiation" over the islands. Last night Mrs Kirchner again addresses the United Nations in New York, this time at the General Assembly, and once again urged Mr Cameron to enter into discussion. She said: "Next year it will be 180 years since the UK illegally usurped our Malvinas IslandsﾅWe reiterate this is not a bilateral issue between the UK and us, this issue has become a global issue." She added: "There have been many resolutions all asking the UK to sit down at the table and talk to Argentina, but they refuseﾅwe just request compliance with the UN resolution." The UK has repeatedly refused to discuss the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands with Argentina because it says that while the islands are a British territory, they are independently governed and should be responsible for their own future. But Mrs Kirchner refuses to recognise the Falkland Islands as a nation and will not enter discussions with its government. UK diplomatic sources said that the resolution Mrs Kirchner referred to was decades old. However the special committee Mrs Kirchner addressed in June passed a consensus resolution noting "regret" that the UK refused to enter into discussion with Argentina over the matter. Mrs Kirchner's comments yesterday were similar to her remarks in June. Then however, she went further, claiming that Britain should have been ashamed at flying the Falkland Islands flag above Downing Street to mark the 30th anniversary of the end of the conflict. She also appeared to criticise Britain's role in Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr Cameron responded by insisting that he would not play a "global game of monopoly" with the Islandsﾒ future.
