Full sovereignty to Argentina, Mauritius and Comoros

Colonialism Reparation supports the request of the third summit of Africa - South America (ASA) that recognizes the legitimate rights of Argentina in the dispute on the sovereignty of the Falkland /Malvinas islands and reaffirms that the Chagos Archipelago forms an integral part of the territory of Mauritius and that Mayotte island forms an integral part of the territory of Comoros.

The third summit of the Heads of State and Government of Africa and South America was held in Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, from 20 to 23 February 2013 with the participation of about sixty delegations. The summit ended with the approval of the Malabo Declaration, the ratification of Venezuela as seat of the permanent Secretariat and the signing of 27 agreements of South-South cooperation.

The ASA moves its first steps in 2004, with the beginning of the talks between the representatives of Brazil and Nigeria which led in November 2006 to the first summit in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, with the participation of a dozen delegations which approved the Abuja Declaration.
