I offered a challenge for anyone to prove they did, and no one has responded. Facts not assumptions are required for a legal claim. I have offered plenty that no one has refuted.

LONDON, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- British officials said they were disappointed when Argentina said it would not attend a service to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Falklands conflict.
After Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana rejected the invitation, Britain's Foreign Office expressed its regret Tuesday, The Telegraph reported.
"They have given it the character of a victory celebration and, given that, we cannot take part," Taiana said Monday. "We consider the Malvinas to be an archaic colonial situation and in the 21st Century the persistence of this situation is difficult to explain."
Maybe they wanted to piss them off and offer a reminder to who is running the place.

On page 5, 4th post from the bottom, I clearly outlined, with details, why the belief held by some, that Argentina violated the Nootka treaty, is a false assumption. I received a 500 point applause for this post, as it followed the ATS motto of deny ignorance, and offered clear factual evidence and not opinion.
As for Stumasons comment that no one has offered any support on Argentina's side, well, this is not a popularity contest like a television pop idol. This is a discussion about international law. The more important fact, is that no one has thus far offered any solid proof that Argentina violated any valid treaty, or that in any way, Britain had any legal right to invaded the Falklands.

United Kingdom not England
Our Country is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, please don't call it just England. We find it quite offensive.
Annnd...that Island is ours and its not changing hands until the people say so. Plus, I do find it quite hilarious that no one has said anything regarding my comments about the United States.
If the UK has to give back the Falklands, then should White European Americans give back Northern America to the orginal tribes? Should we give back Western Europe to the Romans? Should Arabs be force to give back land to Israel (seeings Israel does not have the same borders as in the OT)
Should Italy be forced to split and give back its land to the orginal countries of that area? Should the German federal government breakup Germany? Should the Spanish government do the same with the Basque region and Catalona?
Should Southern Western area of the United States be giving back to Mexico or should the nation of Aztlan be created?
Should Middle Eastern countries such as Iran and Iraq be forced to give back their land to the Persians and the nation of Persia be created again?
Should the Australian government break up its commonwealth and give its land back to the native population? same with New Zealand.
Should the United Kingdom be broken up and England, Scotland and Wales become countries again? plus the creation of a United Ireland?
In other words, you cannot focus on one nation and ignore others.

As for your continued rubbish about the Falklands, I am going to reply to it in short order....
"No country in the world has more experience dealing with the issues of decolonization than the United Kingdom. For the last hundred years, this once vast Empire, has been busy extracting itself from various corners of the world.....From India, to Hong Kong, to Zimbabwe, the British have turned over government to someone else." (Joseph Allen McCullough)

Argentina wants this to be solved via the United Nations, but the UN, United States and the European Union support the UK claim.

If prior claim was legal then the UN would never back a current British claim.

Yes. Argentina themselves nullified the treaty by attacking US Seal hunters. Treaty was forfit. (and later) As for your continued rubbish about the Falklands, I am going to reply to it in short order....

Since the war, the UN repeated their call for change and several countries signed on including members of the EU and the US.
