Very well, right me a brief paragraph about the resolution, and/or the UN's involvement in the war.
Never mind - it's number... 3014 UN Resolution.
This is the beggining of the offical UN Article:
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Argentina Speaks; Committee Also Adopts Text on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories
The Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom were requested to resume negotiations in order to find a peaceful solution to the dispute over the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), according to a resolution adopted without a vote this afternoon by the Special Committee on the Situation with Regard to the Implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples.
Also by that text, the Committee expressed regret that implementation of General Assembly resolutions on the issue had not yet begun, in spite of the widespread international support for negotiations between the two Governments. The Committee reiterated its firm support for the mission of good offices of the Secretary-General in order to assist the parties in complying with General Assembly resolutions on the issue. It also decided to keep the issue under review. Speaking before the vote, Guido Di Tella, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Argentina, said that there was currently a habit of politicizing everything from trivial issues to issues that were not trivial, such as fisheries, oil and tourism. The problem was that both the islanders and Argentineans were suspicious that each side was trying to get the political advantage. All sides needed to put an end to the present situation. It was essential to normalize every aspect of relations in order to live a normal life, side by side, in the South Atlantic.
Jan Cheek, a representative of the Falkland Islands Government, said the people of the Falkland Islands had a right to self-determination and looked to the Special Committee to recognize that right. It offended a sense of natural justice to see countries enjoying rights that they wished to deny to others. She asked that the Committee support the Falkland Islands in resisting attempts by Argentina to make the Islands its colony in the South Atlantic. The people of the Falkland Islands had the right to freely determine its political status, and the people chose to retain their association with the United Kingdom as an overseas territory.
