Argentine president slams UN as ‘useless’ over Falklands dispute

Argentine President Javier Milei has criticised the United Nations, calling it a "useless organisation" for not taking action on the Falklands dispute. According to the South China Morning Post, Milei reaffirmed Argentina's claim to sovereignty over the islands, known as the Malvinas to Argentines.

The dispute is a key issue for Argentina, and Milei urged the parties to find a "peaceful solution". He accused the UN of failing to enforce international resolutions that call for the parties to refrain from making unilateral changes while the dispute remains unresolved.

Milei also called on Britain to resume negotiations to find a peaceful solution to the sovereignty dispute. The issue is not just between Argentina and the UK, but also a question of the UN's ability to enforce its own resolutions, he said.
