Problem is Argentina you dont want negotiations, you want a transfer of sovereignty and that will not happen. and no international law says their needs to be a transfer, and what about your so called puny sanctions and harassment against the Falklands, they are against international law, neither the Falklanders or the UK are breaking any international law,
