MODERATORS
Territorial waters extend to a maximum of 12 nautical miles off the shore. States can claim a contiguous zone to up to 24 nautical miles, in which they can exercise some control to protect their territory and customs.
The exclusive economic zone (EEZ), in which a state controls all economic resources, extends to 200 nautical miles off the shore. These are not territorial waters.
All of the above have exceptions where the territorial waters and EEZs of two states would overlap.
The Falklands are 260 nautical miles off the Argentinean coast. So even if those 'international laws' you're so vaguely citing existed, they would not apply here.
