Against British Piracy Mopassol (Argentinean Peace Council) Buenos Aires, Argentina, February 25, 2010 Translated by Google Translator In defense of our sovereignty and natural assets of the Argentine people. For peace and decolonization of the islands in the South Atlantic usurped The Movement for Peace, Sovereignty and Solidarity Among Peoples (Mopassol) strongly condemns the latest act of theft committed by Britain and called the Falklands our popular forces to act actively in defense of our sovereignty and natural resources belonging to the Argentine people. In dealing with large foreign companies licensing of oil exploration in an area currently in dispute of sovereignty as it has also to the British Crown-fishing makes a blatantly illegal act and violation of United Nations resolutions on the islands and seas of the South Atlantic. These resolutions urge both sides to negotiations to resolve the dispute ending a colonial occupation that has persisted since the nineteenth century, and until then refrain from any unilateral action that exacerbates the conflict. But England systematically refuses to fulfill this mandate of the international community and continues to openly aggressive actions of which one of the most serious is the construction in East Falkland, the Naval Air Station Mount Pleasant, a military stronghold more 2000 permanent staff, whose maintenance NATO Treaty Organization (North Atlantic) spends 7 percent of its total budget. Such investment by the military organization under the command of the United States for 60 years headed the military ventures against the peoples of the earth, makes it clear to what use the strength Falklands, not to defend 2,500 kelpers that populate the islands, but to guard the imperialist plans of world domination and continue plundering our peoples. In these circumstances the Mopassol reaffirms its conviction expressed in numerous documents from the past 30 years that we need to fight for the Falklands Fortaleza dela dismantling and abolition of all foreign military bases established in the region, require compliance with the UN resolutions aimed at making the South Atlantic a zone of peace and cooperation, and support peaceful negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict. We also agree with the importance that the Argentinian authorities persist and intensify a real diplomatic offensive to build support in the countries of UNASUR, ALBA, that the Non-Aligned Movement, the UN General Assembly and generally favorable decision in all international fora where possible to raise our demands. In this regard, is particularly encouraged by the support expressed by the 32 countries at the recent Rio Group Summit in Cancun where, moreover, agreed to form an area of Latin American and Caribbean integration without involving the United States and Canada. In the struggle for peace in the region, defending national sovereignty and our natural assets to achieve the decolonization of our Falklands and other islands in the South Atlantic usurped, we believe it is vital that we decide people's organizations in this regard, strongly condemning the abuses of the British Crown and the aggressive plans of NATO and the presence of the Fourth Fleet of the U.S. war in our seas.
