Argentina takes Falklands case to UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed hope that Argentina and Britain can avoid an escalation of their Falkland Islands dispute when he met Friday with the South American country's foreign minister, Hector Timerman, the UN chief's office said.
"I come to the United Nations to denounce Great Britain for the militarization of the South Atlantic," Timerman said in a video made after his meeting with Ban and posted on the Argentine Presidency's web site. "Great Britain at this moment is the most important military power in this zone." (AP)
