    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.
