Introduction

This final report is conducted for the purpose of a project 1 MUN (Model United Nations) concerning

the Falkland Islands case. This case is a dispute between United Kingdom and Argentina over the title

of territory of the Falkland Islands. As a team, we needed to conduct research on this conflict;

therefore this report is a reflection of our work as representatives of Canada.

The work division was equally divided amongst the participants to the project. The first group product

after the task division was the legal matrix. In order to produce the legal matrix, we subdivided the

group into issue teams so that each issue team conducted a research on different legal issues that dealt

with the dispute.

The second group product was the policy matrix in which the policy of Canada was reflected on the

conflict. We also provide in the policy matrix a list of potential allies concerning the raises issues in

the dispute.

The final product was a position paper reflecting the position of Canada on the topic of the Agenda:

“Are the Falkland Islands/Las Malvinas part of the British or part of the Argentinean territory”?

Provided in the appendix are the minutes of each meeting we held and therein specific data concerning

the dates, times and names of the individuals or groups that carried out the attributed tasks. Below is a

diagram with a rough picture of the organisational structure.

Legal issues on the Falkland Islands / Las Malvinas case

1) Issues concerning the Falkland Islands / Las Malvinas

- Can the Islands choose/realize their own sovereignty?

- What are the requirements of self-determination?

2) Issues concerning the United Kingdom

- Can Britain use military force to defend the Falklands Islands?

- Is the claim of the British that they have territorial ownership over the Falklands islands

legally valid? ( Acquisition by prescription)

3) Issues concerning Argentina

- Can Argentina legally pursue a blockade against the Falkland Islands?

- Can Argentina argue that the Falkland Islands are part of their territory because it is

mentioned in their Constitution? (Acquisition by cession)

Legal Matrix

Article 38 of the Statute of the

International Court of Justice

Source of the rule Content of the rule

International Conventions (Article

38(a) of the Statute of the

International Court of Justice)

Acquisition through cession Transfer of land and sovereignty of a

territory through a Treaty.

International Customary Law (Article

38(b) of the Statute of the

International Court of Justice)

Use of force under U.N. Charter

Article 2(4)

Use of force is forbidden in a conflict.

There are only two exceptions in

international customary law:

1. Self-defense

2. Humanitarian intervention

The argument for self-defense can

also be made if an imminent attack

has not yet been carried out and

therefore in the capacity to prevent

such an attack.

Acquisitive prescription It is a two sided operation at one end

it is a process by which a state receive

a legal recognition of its title to

sovereignty over specific land or sea

territory in situations where it has

actually exercised state authority over

it in a continuous, uninterrupted and

peaceful manner for a sufficient

period of time.

The right of self-determination

(Atlantic Charter 1941)

Nations, based on respect for the

principle of equal rights and equality

of opportunity, have the right to freely

choose their sovereignty and

international political status with no

external compulsion or interference.

Use of non-military force under U.N.

Charter Article 2(4) {Blockade}

An economic blockade has been yet

officially considered illegal.

General Principles of International

Law (Article 38(c) of the Statute of

the International Court of Justice)

“Uti Possidetis” affirmed by the

International Court of Justice in the

1986 Burkina-Faso V. Mali case

The principle used to define the post-

colonial boundaries of Latin

American, Asian and African nations,

is a doctrine under which newly

independent states inherit the pre-

independence administrative

boundaries set by the former colonial

power. The doctrine posits that title to

the former colonial territory should be

devolved to the local authorities and

prevails over any competing claim

based on occupation. Thus, uti

possidetis is predicated on a rejection

of self-determination and assumes

that internal administrative

boundaries are functionally equivalent

to international boundaries.

Principle of good faith A State must fulfill its obligations

bona fide. Good faith governs the

exercise of rights. These rights must

therefore not be exercised fictitiously

so as to evade the Rule of Law or

maliciously injure others. A violation

of these requirements on the principle

of good faith amounts to abuse of

rights, prohibited by law.

Position paper

Committee: Security Council

Country: Canada

Delegate: Representative of Canada

The Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Territories: states that ‘all

people have a right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political

status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development’. It seems that nowadays this

important declaration is often overlooked, as many peoples are denied their right to decide who they

are for themselves, and those who distinguish themselves as minorities in existing states are frequently

discriminated against.

Canada believes that each and every person in the world has the right to decide their fate and their

national identity. Therefore, it supports people’s right to self-determination and promotes the freedom

of determination of their political status as well as encourages them to work on their economic, social

and cultural development.

Canada has a long history of handling colonization and self-determination issues. It had successfully

declared itself independent from the United Kingdom on July 1st of 1867, although for many years its

foreign affairs were controlled by the UK. Canada, today still maintains strong bonds with Great

Britain.

As a multicultural country with two official languages – English and French, and therefore two

cultures, Canada understands a nation’s desire to be recognized. In fact, two Canadian culture groups –

Quebecois and First Nations are very open and straight-forward about their strive for being recognized

as Quebecois, Inuit or Indians. While the probability of either the First Nations or Quebecois forming

an independent state and separating from Canada is extremely low, we are happy to have many self-

determined culture groups as a part of the Canadian community. In Canada, Aboriginal communities

do not seek total independence, and so they were allowed to form a government on the Nunavut

territory, which we see as a really good solution to the discord that benefits both parties.

Canada is confident that this dispute between United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falkland

Islands can be resolved peacefully and that the right to self-determination will be respected. At the

same time, we strongly oppose any attempts of use of force on the Falkland Islands by either side of

the conflict.

10

We believe the referendum held by the 3000-plus inhabitants of the Islands is an affirmation of their

self-determination and should be respected by all states.

Canada urges all the states present, that today; this conflict should be resolved so that the purpose of

this Council, maintaining peace and security in the world is achieved.

Committee: United Nations Security Council

Topic: The Falkland Islands

Signatories: The Republic of South-Africa,

Sponsors: The Republic of South-Africa, the Federal Republic of Germany, The Republic of France, The Kingdom of Saudi-Arabia, The United States of America, The United Kingdom of

Great-Britain and Northern Ireland, The Kingdom of Morocco, The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, The Republic of Colombia, The Republic of Canada, The Republic of India, The Republic

The United Nations Security Council,

Recognizes that this is a special situation, and that rulings made by it on this case are limited

to this dispute alone

Affirms the basic principles of international Human Rights, the Universal declaration of

Human Rights and the rule of law as is embedded in the Charter of the United Nations.

Recognizes the current situation of the Falkland Islands in which the Islands are internally

self-governing with the UK being responsible for defense and foreign affairs matters.

Takes into account the history of the Falkland Islands/Las Malvinas and the self-determination

of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands under Article 1(2) and Article 55 of the United

Nations Charter and which is also stipulated in the constitution of the Falkland Islands.

Notes with deep concern the determination of Argentina to claim the Falkland Islands without

taking the choice of the citizens of the Falkland Islands into account.

Emphasizes that the UK supports the self-determination of the inhabitants of the Falkland

Islands.

Takes note that the Falkland Islands have been under British rule since 1882 (for 179 year)

with a gap of 74 days in which Argentina took over the Falkland Islands. Meaning that they

have prescriptive jurisdiction, according to customary law

Regrets the way the Argentine Republic continually thwarts the UK, considering the recently

adopted law which prohibits the UK to moor, load or carry out logistical operations in Buenos

Aires. Also the way Argentina tries to enforce their claims on the Falkland Islands be

disapproved, for example the handing out of the claims on the Falkland Island by president

Kirchner to Prime Minister Cameron during the G20 Summit.

Emphasizes that a referendum is needed to determine the wish of the people of the Falkland

Islands to be independent, remain under British or to be under Argentina.

The UN Security Council, acting under Chapter ?, decides:

sovereignty.

and shall abide to them.

to take place in 2013. This Referendum should be canceled and postponed, no longer

than 2 years.

6.) Taking note: of the right to self-determination to the people of the Falkland Islands /

Las Malvinas. Fully believing: that consensus must be reached on the content of the

referendum. All parties must come to an agreement on the question/s of the

Referendum: the UK, Argentina, the Falkland Islands and the International

Community.

7.) Reminds that we as a body shall support the Falkland Island in whatever decision they

may

make, whether they choose to remain self-governing under the United Kingdom of

Great-

Britain and Northern Ireland or whether they choose to become independent and shall

assist

the Falkland Island in any way possible.

8.)Authorizes the Falkland Island to have the final vote in this matter since it is concerning

them.

9.) Calls upon both the UK and Argentina to refrain from any use of force concerning the

Falkland Islands after the referendum.

The UN Security Council decides to remain seized of the matter

17

Group-Yosifova

Resolution

Main point is the Referendum of the Falkland Islands. In which people will choose to which country

they want to belong, U.K or Argentina, they will also have the option of choosing independence. Both

countries will present their offer to the Islands which they have discussed in the negotiations. There

should be a reasonable amount of time for people to make up their minds about what they want before

the referendum and after the negotiations.

According to the GA resolution 1514; 1. The subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination

and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is contrary to the charter of the

united nations and is an impediment to the promotion of world peace and co-operation. 2. All peoples

have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status

and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development. 3. Inadequacy of political,

economic, social or educational preparedness should never serve as a pretext for delaying

independence.

If the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands choose the U.K. once again in the referendum there will not

be a change in government on the Falkland Islands. The U.K. will only keep supporting them with

defense.

The negotiations shall only be in the best interest of the people of the Falkland Islands. In other words

the inhabitans of the Falkland Islands are the main point of the negotiations.

If the Falkland Islands choose for independence they will be an Exclusive Economic Zone.

If there are threats of war after the referendum has been held and the people of the Falkland Islands

have chosen, the country who threatens shall endure economical or political consequences.

In the negotiations Argentina and the U.K. can present what they want for the Falkland Islands and

they can present a proposal for the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands, so they have a fair chance to

persuade the people.

We represent the following countries; Canada, Republic of Togo, United Kingdom, Kingdom of Saudi

Arabia.

Falkland Islands were colonized by almost all colonize empires as Spain, France and British Empire,

but only United Kingdom has for the longest time been in charge of this Islands. They were

responsible for it for almost two centuries (since 1833). Falkland Islands were discovered by Spain,

but United Kingdom colonize by bringing there British citizens. United Kingdom helped (and is still)

helping Falkland Islands. First financially and now they are helping them with e.g. defense. In 1975

Falkland Islands had an economic crisis (mentioned above) and United Kingdom came with solution

(Shackleton Report in 1976).

The Islands were discovered in 1520 by Magellan's expedition who was navigating under the control

of King of Spain. Argentina, which was colony of Spain, claims that British Empire illegally settled on

the Falkland Islands in 1833, because they have not discovered the Islands.

18

In April 1982 Argentina invaded Falkland Islands and was claiming that Islands belongs to them now.

United Kingdom sent their troops to solve the problem of invading Falklands. By invading the

Falkland Islands Argentina broke the International Law (you are not allowed to attack another state

and use aggression, but you can defend yourself with using force). Argentina did not declare war to

United Kingdom. It resulted that United Kingdom heard about the invading the Falkland Islands from

media. British government sent their troops as a response. In June 1982 the war has been finished and

United Kingdom has won.

Argentina has never stopped claiming its rights for islands. In 1994 the government of Argentina

changed their constitution and they have put the clause in the Constitution of Argentina that they will

continue claiming Falkland Islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands.

In 2009 president of Argentina - Cristina Fernández - talked about sovereignty for Falkland Islands in

Argentinean embassy in London during G20. Argentinean government does not accept the self-

determination of Falkland Islands and wants make it one of the province of Argentina. On that case,

the inhabitants of the Falklands does not approve this option. Argentina is supported by the countries

as: Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru (members of

MERCOSUR), China, Syria, Tunisia, Congo and Russia.

In 2012 Cristina Fernández claimed again Falkland Islands and is ready to send troops and invade the

Falklands again. United Kingdom declared their readiness for war.
