Neither NATO nor the UN will get involved. I think the UN position is "just talk it out, guys".
My understanding is Argentina's claim dates back to the time of Spanish occupation, as both the Falklands and Argentina were Spanish territories for a while, and so Argentina claims the Falklands were all part of the same package when they gained independence from Spain.
Chances are, Spain ceded the islands to Britain in exchange for lands elsewhere well before Argentina became independent (I can't prove it but we all know that New York was swapped for some of the 'spice islands' with the Netherlands, i.e there's precedent for land swaps).Leave a comment:

James Cleverly insists they 'are BRITISH'

Abusing the white flag or red cross are rightly considered a war crime.
