cannot award a prize for good faith to the United King- dom in this matter after 17 years of prolonged nego- tiations, or to any other colonial Power. 230. How can we allow the United Kingdom to say that they will only agree to the Secretary-General’s going to the Malvinas and establishing an administra- tion with the help of civic legislative councils estab- lished by the United Kingdom?
