UN General Assembly
1982

The world problems to which we referred earlier cannot conceal the important fact that conflicts emerge and develop basically in a regional context and that according to the letter and spirit of the Charter it is first and foremost for the members of each region and regional machinery they have established to solve conflicts with a full sense of responsibility. Because of its global character, the process of decolonization must be in conformity with the peculiarities of history and geography. Thus, in our American continent, a problem at once colonial and regional has been deeply felt recently by our peoples. We refer to the colonial situation of the Malvinas and the grave crisis and armed confrontation of last April and May between the Republic of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Honduras recognizes the sovereign rights of the Republic of Argentina over the Malvinas and supports its claim. Honduras believes that every conflict between States can be settled by negotiation; therefore, it rejects the use of force in any international conflict.
