country, since colonialism is, to all intents and purposes, a form of permanent aggression. As the Argentine Foreign Minister said in the Council on 25 May [2366rh meering], colonialism is an act of force and it is permanent aggression; it is the opposite of genuine peace; it has been and will be, as long as it persists, the root cause of conflicts and violence. This is why the Argentine Republic will never negotiate the restoration of colonialism to Argentine and American soil. 73. This is the reality in Latin America today on Argentine soil, and it is precisely on this matter that this body, the Council, must focus its attention and its decisions so as to put an end to a state of war and to limit its grave international effects, which undoubtedly endanger international security, in particular that of Latin America. 74. If the abusive attitude of the United Kingdom prevents the Council from complying with its serious and pressing duty, it will once again be shown that that Government bears the responsibility for the con- tinuance of the military action which is resulting in the loss of so many lives and has such dramatic implica- tions for international relations. 75. In conclusion, I should like to recall that the Argentine title is inalienable and has been recognized by the vast majority of the international community. 7 If Great Britain chooses the path of armed violence to disavow it, the resulting war that is imposed on us will be as long as may be necessary and Great Britain alone will bear the responsibility for having dis- carded the path of peaceful negotiations; but the only historic outcome will be the ultimate incorporation of the islands into Argentine territory. 76.
