    The actual verbiage never said that United Kingdom had to return the island to Argentina.

    The purposes and principles of UN which is described in chapter 1, says the member nations will not use force to threaten territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

    It also states that nations should respect principles of equal rights and self determination.

    Argentina is guilty of both of using force to threaten political independence of island and disrespect of self determination of the islanders

      The actual verbiage never said that United Kingdom had to return the island to Argentina.

      It wouldn’t, or else it would never get passef by vote because the UK would vote against it. You need to understand how diplomats state things publicly, especially when they have to vote on them.

      When the terminology of ‘negotiation’ is used, that’s what is meant, because there’s no other issue to negotiate about, than the return of the islands.

        If British had to return the island, it would be to the penguins and walrus. Argentina doesn’t have any rights on it.

        Before you share another wiki article which you have been spamming the thread with and which refutes your claim. Show a specific line where it is said that Spanish gave the rights to the island to Argentina.

        If Spain didn’t transfer it then it goes to the initial finders of the island either France or British. Argentina is acting like China or Russia, without having the might. Crying after losing a foolish war they themselves had started.
