Block the appointment of the Argentine ambassador as Secretary General of the UN
Rejected

What the petition asks
Argentina has consistently abused the Falkland Islands, and supported Spain in its abuse against Gibraltar, including false "territorial claims" against them in order to block their decolonization. It would be disatrous for both these Overseas Territorries to have an openly hostile SG in the UN.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
