On 1 April 1982, Session 2345.ª was held at the Security Council in response to the suspicion of an Argentine military intervention in the Falklands/Malvinas Islands. The president of the Council, Gérard Kamanda wa Kamanda (from Zaire), invited Roca to participate. There he denounced what he believed to be an aggression on the part of the British, citing the incident that occurred in South Georgia (or San Pedro Island) the previous month. He claimed the Argentine sovereignty of those islands and denounced the obstructionist attitude of the United Kingdom for the diplomatic resolution of the sovereignty of the South Atlantic islands.
