As far as I understand your question the Argentines are still rather unhappy about the situation and there are groups that work to restore rightful claim to them.

There is and never has been any 'rightful claim' by Argentina. Archival and historical documents -even those in Argentina- do not support any claim by that country. The Islands were first claimed by English Captain John Strong in 1690, before Argentina existed. The British Garrison temporarily left the islands in 1775 to fight in the American war but a lead plaque was left denoting ownership. Argentina illegally invaded the Islands in 1832 and 1982, and were ejected by the British. Modern Argentines claim they were expelled in 1833.. not true. The garrison was expelled and the 20 civilians were allowed to remain to look after the Islands cattle. Only 2 or 3 'Argentines' left. The 1863 treaty of Settlement between Britain and Argentina states that 'No differences now exist between the two countries ' . The claim was reopened by Peron in 1941 when he thought Britain would be defeated by Hitler and 'wanted the spoils' Argentina also claims that the Islanders 'Have no right of Self Determination' but the UN disagrees. The Islanders will decide their future in March 2013.
