UN Resolutions Cannot be Applied Retroactively
The fact that UN Resolutions such as 1514 cannot be applied retroactively is evidenced by the fact that the UNICJ has made a number of judgments in respect of the non-retroactivity of resolutions such as the Ambatielos case stating that there had been no special clause or any special object necessitating retroactive interpretation (ICJ Ambatielos Case, Greece v UK Judgment, 1 July 1952, p40). And the Lockerbie case states that both Security Council and General Assembly resolutions cannot be applied retroactively (ICJ Libya -v- USA Preliminary Objections Judgment, 27 Feb 1968, p25, para 43).
UNGA 1514 of 1960 cannot be applied to 1833.

Posted 1 hour ago - Link - Report abuse -1You can quote UN resolutions all you like, they mean nothing. The real decisions are made by the club of the UN Security Council if they are in agreement and no one uses their veto
In the world of today the rule of concensus and international law does not exist you only have to look at the likes of the USA, Iran,,Russia,
Israel and Palestine, even the International Criminal Court is toothless when it suits
The issue is only kept alive by a few thousand fanatics and politicians. the vast majority of Argentine citizens know they will never get the Falklands, they have far more important things to concern them, its a government distraction and nothing more. a circus played out every year at the UN,
Posted 1 hour ago - Link - Report abuse 0EDF It does not matter who keeps the issue alive, it exists whether you are against or for it. Name me a country where 100% of the people agree with their governments foreign policy over international issues. Ever heard the term “ generate consent ” ?
