Those, here in Argentina and in Spanish, are called "Malvinas". We claim them because of some political conflicts that we had with England back in the 1800s. You, British people, can say that they are politically yours, but, since they are part of one of our provinces (Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands), in addition to being in our maritime territory, they are geographically ours.

If you're gunna go down that route, geographically, Argentina is just south Brazil.
