It sounds like the Argentine government must has some domestic policy strife and need to distrcat voters. They are upping the ante on the Falklands issue again.


Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said he had asked Mr Ban to help stop "further unilateral acts" by the UK.

Mr Taiana was referring to the UK's decision to begin oil drilling under a seabed off the islands.

The UK government says the islands have a "legitimate right" to develop an oil industry within their waters.

In a statement, the UK Permanent Representative to the UN, Sir Mark Lyall Grant, said that the UK had "no doubt" over its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
