BUENOS AIRES, Oct 15 (AFP): Argentina and Britain should return to negotiations and come to an understanding over the disputed Falkland islands, a top UN official said amid British military maneuvers in the region.
"We must be careful," warned Donatus Keith Saint Aime, chairman of the UN's Special Decolonization Committee, noting Thursday that Britain "does not see (the maneuvers) as a challenge but Argentina perceives them as provocation."
