Déclaration made upon ratification:
"The REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA has selected the reporting procedure provided for in Article 9, 1 (b) (ii) of the Convention.
The REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA considers that Article 26, 2 (b) and the correlative Article 1, 2 (b) are not applicable to territories subject to a sovereignty dispute recognized by the United Nations General Assembly.
The REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA recalls that the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding maritime areas are an integral part of its territory and as they are illegally occupied by the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, they are the subject of a sovereignty dispute recognized by the international community.
In that regard, the General Assembly has adopted resolutions 2065 (XX), 3160 (XXVIII), 31/49, 37/9, 38/12, 39/6, 40/21, 41/40, 42/19 and 43/25 in which it recognizes the existence of a sovereignty dispute referred to as the “Question of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas)” and urges the governments of the REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA and the UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND to resume negotiations in order to find as soon as possible a peaceful, fair and definitive solution to the dispute. The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization, too, has repeatedly made similar calls."
