JETTY CENTRE DISPLAYS ART FOR CHARITY BALL AUCTION
By J. Brock (FINN)
If you weren’t at the Jetty Centre tonight from 1730 to 1930 then you missed out not only on wine and nibs but also a viewing of artwork that will be auctioned off by Falklands Conservation at the Charity Ball to be held on Friday, 23 September. You have another chance to see the exhibition on Thursday.
On display was art from Ally Liddle, Una Hurst, Mandy Shepherd and Cllr the Hon Mr. Richard Cockwell. Information on star prizes – a VC10 Flight to South Georgia, FIGAS Get Away to Sea Lion Island and Quark Expedition’s trip to Antarctica was also on display.
It was well worth the look.

BRITISH DELEGATION TO THE UN EXERCISE RIGHT OF REPLY FOR KIRSHNER AND BIELSA SPEECHES TO THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Statement of the delegation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in exercise of the right of reply to the remarks made by the President of the Argentine Republic in the High-Level Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on 14 September 2005
The British Government attaches great importance to the principle of self-determination as set out in Article 1.2 of the UN Charter and Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. That principle underlies our position on the Falkland Islands.
The elected representatives of the Falkland Islands once again expressed their own views clearly when they visited the United Nations for this year’s debate in the UN Committee of 24. They asked the Committee to recognise that they, like any other people, were entitled to exercise the right of self-determination. They reiterated that the people of the Falkland Islands did not wish for any change in the status of the Islands.
There can be no negotiations on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until such time as the Islanders so wish.
The United Kingdom has no doubts about its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
Sir Emyr Jones Parry

The United Kingdom has no doubts about its sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
There can be no negotiations on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands unless and until such time as the Islanders so wish.
