David Cameron of UK believes in self-determination right of peoples

David Cameron and the Argentinian president Cristina Kirchner were
involved in bruising verbal exchanges on the margins of the G20 on
Tuesday as she tried to force a package into his hand marked "Un
Malvinas".
The Guardian report said Cameron refused to take the package
believing, according to his aides, that she was involved in "a media
stunt" - a belief strengthened by the presence of TV cameras filming
the incident.
The package was an A4 envelope, and its contents remain unknown.
Cameron had sought out Kirchner at the margins of the G20 in an
anteroom before the first working session got underway. They initially
discussed the previous day's agenda, including central banks and the
need for monetary activism.
Cameron then said: "I am not proposing a full discussion now on the
Falklands, but I hope you noted they are holding a referendum and you
should respect their views. We believe in self-determination and act
as democrats here in the G20."
At a press conference later, Cameron said it had been an important
conversation to have with Kirchner and denied it had been a media
stunt by him. He said: "All the countries locked in this dispute say
they believe in democracy, human rights and self determination." He
said the aim of the Falklands referendum was "to put the issue beyond
doubt".
