gia and South Sandwich, as well as the loss of human lives caused by those acts of aggression, have been reported to the Council through notes from the Argen- tine Mission, which are part of the documentation on this item. 51, Similarly, we must also condemn in the United Nations the fact that, in these attacks and bombings, reiterated and publicized brazenly every day by the United Kingdom, weapons of indiscriminate effect were used, posing a grave threat to the civilian popu- lation of the Malvinas, which ironically enough, according to the British Government itself, constitutes its greatest concern, 52. The humane character of the British was also clearly demonstrated in the dastardly attack perpe- trated by a nuclear submarine against the cruiser G~ncrrrl Belgmno when it was moving towards the continent and was outside the unlawful blockade zone arbitrarily imposed by the United Kingdom. The bodies of 20 crew members were found: 30 1 crew mem- bers are missing. It is not surprising that, when this fact, which, quite rightly, appalled world public opinion, became known, a member of the British Parliament accused the Prime Minister of having committed “mass murder on the high seas”. 53. Every time the United Kingdom has committed one of the odious acts described above, it has felt the need to soothe its conscience by invoking the right of self-defence. 54. The corruption of principles is a grave crime and the Government of the United Kingdom is assuming that responsibility lightly. 55. It is known that, under Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, unilateral actions must cease when the Security Council has already taken meas- ures. There is a legal obligation to suspend self- defence once the Council “has taken measures neces- sary to maintain international peace and security”. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement or a speech, condemning the actions of the United Kingdom during the Falklands War. It highlights the use of indiscriminate weapons, attacks on civilians, and the killing of crew members of the Belgian cruiser. The text also references international law and the United Nations Charter. Given the focus on international politics, conflict, and law, it is likely that the text is related to international relations.
