Nations and the principles of international law”.

That in this context it is necessary to carry out socialization and awareness actions, both nationally and internationally, regarding the appearance of Argentina’s sovereign rights regarding the ‘Malvinas Islands Question’ within the framework of the First Provisional Provisions of the National Constitution, as well as respecting and honoring our fallen ex-combatants and their families. “

These regulations are also framed in inter-ministerial initiative “Malvinas Agenda – 40 years”-presented last week at the Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands Museum- which aims to develop actions and proposals that highlight the recognition and respect of the Argentine people for ex-combatants, fallen and relatives of the South Atlantic conflict, as well as to disseminate the main arguments of Argentina’s position with an inclusive perspective and federal.
