Argentina goes to UN over Falklands

01:05, Feb 8 2012

 

Argentina's president Cristina Fernandez said she will formally complain to the UN Security Council about Britain sending one of its most modern warships to the Falkland Islands.

Ms Fernandez accused Prime Minister David Cameron of militarising their long dispute over the islands in the South Atlantic.

Argentina calls the islands the Malvinas and is demanding that Britain cedes control. Britain seized the Falklands in 1833.

Argentinian troops invaded the Falklands in 1982, but were defeated by a counter-invasion by British forces.
