But always a cop out 

the seizure violated the Vienna Convention, which grants military vessels diplomatic immunity

Fortunately though as the judge said, they have waived these rights by signing up to these agreements. You can't have your cake and eat it, unless you're a socialist of course.


Quote from article:

Argentina’s foreign minister, Héctor Timerman, said in a statement, “The vulture funds have crossed a boundary in their attacks on the Argentine republic.” He said the seizure violated the Vienna Convention, which grants military vessels diplomatic immunity.

"Vulture funds" makes you laugh. Pay the bloody money and it wouldn't happen. Imbecile. Shy do people/organisations etc borrow money then whinge when it's got to be paid back or at the consequences of not paying it back? You cannot have the world for a quid, unless you're a socialist of course.
