	Argentine National Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Congress (Spanish: Congreso de la Nación Argentina) is the legislative branch of the government of Argentina.
		As time went by, the building proved too small for its purpose, and in 1974 the construction of the Edificio Anexo, which now holds the deputies' offices, was started.
		In front of the the building lies the Square of the two Congresses (Spanish: Plaza de los Dos Congresos) which is a popular site for sightseeing, as well as a preferred location for protestors and those who want to voice their opinion about congress.

		An inter-ministry commission, in wich the [Argentine History] Academy participated by way of one of its members, ellaborated in the years (?) 1989 a law draft that was presented to the Congress [the argentine parlament], but wasn’t considered for voting after all.
		Presidential decree number 1541 signed by Argentine President Raul Ricardo Alfonsin on 16 August 1985, and companion law number 23,208 of the same date proved that Argentine citizens have the right to use (tienen derecho a usar) the official national flag (la Bandera Oficial de la Nación), provided it is used with respect and honor.

		Argentine elites rejected this option, however, because devaluation would have destroyed the one-to-one currency peg between the peso and the dollar established in 1991.
		In addition to devouring huge amounts of Argentine wealth in the form debt payments, the IMF is one of the main sources of the downward spiral in the national economy.
		Argentine and European capital will end up eating the costs of default and devaluation, and the stage is set to "solve" the crisis by ramming further austerity and misery down the throats of the Argentine working class.

		The Argentine War of Independence was fought from 1814 to 1816 by Argentine forces under José de San Martín against realista forces loyal to the Spanish crown.
		On July 9, 1816, an assembly met in San Miguel de Tucumán, declaring full independence with provisions for a national constitution.

	Big Banks Probed Over Peso (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Whereas the government is now allowing Argentines to withdraw up to $5,000 a month from their bank accounts, it seems that some banks were giving their “best clients” a preferential treatment that allowed them to smuggle billions of dollars in high-denomination bills.
		Argentine deposits abroad amount to nearly $150 billion, a figure that is roughly equivalent to the country’s foreign burden.
		More as a political gesture than anything else, the ruling was presented August 2000 before the Argentine Congress, which as on previous occasions in the early 1980s refused to intervene both under the creditors’ pressure and that of the government, and forced at gun point to uphold its soul-selling commitments to the international credit organizations.

	Limits to Governability, Corruption and Transnational Terrorism - EIAL XIV2
		The study of the Argentine case (in which the limits to governability were barely visible in 1992 and 1994, but have since grown) can help to demonstrate in a compelling manner the nature of these challenges.
		The Iranian connection was also confirmed inasmuch as the CIA and the Mossad made it known to Argentine intelligence that at least seventeen couriers had arrived at the Iranian Embassy in Buenos Aires several days before the blast and all had left by July 17, twenty-four hours before the attack.
		Yet the Argentine government paid little attention to such warnings until it was too late, and afterwards was unwilling or unable to significantly alter the situation.

		In 1991, the Menem Administration submitted to the Argentine Congress a draft patent law designed to improve overall patent protection and extend it immediately to pharmaceuticals.
		After years of intermittent debate, the argentine congress enacted a law in 1995 which falls far short of the administration's commitments to the United Sates.

	AEGiS-IPS: HEALTH-ARGENTINA: Divisive Birth Control Law on its Way in Congress
		The bill that began to be discussed by the lower house of Congress Wednesday would create a National Programme on Sexual Health and Responsible Procreation, and pave the way for "non- abortive, reversible and temporary" birth-control methods to be made available free of charge at public and private health centres.
		The Catholic Church is opposed to the use of the IUD, which it considers an "abortive" method of birth control, arguing that the device impedes the implantation of the embryo in the wall of the uterus.
		However, the Argentine Society of Fertility and Sterility pointed out that the most recent studies indicate that the copper in the IUD affects the movement of sperm, thus preventing fertilisation of the egg.

	-- Etcheverry --
		Then, until a new patent law was passed by Congress and approved by the President, or Congress obtained sufficient votes to override the Presidential veto to the prior bill, Law No. 24,425, Decree 621/95 and the old Patent Law No. 111 (in all that is not inconsistent with GATT/TRIPS) were the governing patent law provisions.
		This authorization will prematurely lapse if the Argentine patent application is granted or rejected during such 5 year period, or if the marketing authorization from the health authority is revoked.
		If these events are proved, and thus an Argentine patent issued, the duration of the Argentine patent will be the same as that of the first foreign patent filed by the Applicant, but should not exceed 20 years (Article 102).

	Print news - IPS Inter Press Service
		By drawing the media spotlight to five-year-old twins Lucas and Julia and their two "daddies", the Argentine gay and lesbian community is gearing up to fight for a bill in Congress that would not only legalise same-sex civil unions, but grant these couples the inheritance and adoption rights normally limited to marriage.
		At the same time, Argentine law allows single men and women to adopt children, and the authorities have even permitted adoption by individuals who are members of a same-sex couple who have not attempted to hide this fact.
		In the 1990s, the efforts of the Argentine gay and lesbian community focused on fighting discrimination, but today they are working to demand full respect for their civil rights.
