Care to quote the clause pertinent to this dispute, where Britain is in breach of it,
David Cameron responding to a rational and diplomatic call for bilateral discussion from the United Nations by frothing at the mouth and ranting like a mad man about blasting Argentina to smitherines is a violation of Article 33, Section 1 of the UN charter:
- The parties to any dispute, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, shall, first of all, seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice.

This:
Outlaw states, like any criminal, must be subject to a police response to enforce compliance with the laws civilization has decided upon for the rational and just governance of relations between nations and the peaceful settlement of disputes. Britain can't keep up this policy of intransigence forever. Eventually the patience of the modern, law-abiding nations of the world will wear thin and a police force will be assembled.
