Cameron hits back at Argentina over Falklands David Cameron has hit back at Argentina over its plans to protest against British "militarisation" of the Falklands, saying islanders would have London's backing for as long as they wished to remain British. "Argentina will find when she goes to the United Nations that it is an absolutely key part of the United Nations charter to support self-determination," Cameron told a news conference. As long as the people in the Falkland Islands want to maintain that status, we will make sure that they do and we will defend the Falkland Islands properly to make sure that is the case. His comments come as Argentine President Cristina Fernandez hardened her posture following stories in the British press about a nuclear submarine being sent to the South Atlantic. Her government is making a presentation at the UN denouncing "the introduction of nuclear arms in the zone."
