The UN's one big jab is to prevent nuclear war by limiting border disputes. I'm not sure what the value of them weighing in on this case. What happens if/when the ICJ issues its non-binding ruling that the Islands needs to change hands? If the UK doesn't leave, does it become an illegal occupation?
I think it diminishes the UN's authority to have it issue edicts that are not going to be implemented or enforced.

The UN does have enforcement (by the way of international military missions), unfortunately as long as either the US or the Russians/China have veto powers this enforcement will only be used against African or former-Yugoslavian countries.

It was always an illegal occupation. > I think it diminishes the UN's authority to have it issue edicts that are not going to be implemented or enforced. If not the UN, then who? How are these people suppose to get their stolen land back?
