This is going to go absolutely nowhere other than me repeating the same hard facts and you refusing to hear and accept them, but I'll just address this:

> The "line drawn by Argentina" is the territory accepted by the UN.

Do you not even understand what's written in the link you posted as "evidence" or something?

The very first sentences state (emphasis/capitalization mine):

    "The Argentine Foreign Ministry announced on 28 March 2016 that it
     had gained international recognition of a claim to an exceptionally
     large continental shelf. 
  
     BUT THEY WERE MISTAKEN.

     [...]

     On 23 May 2016, the [UN] Commission made public its recommendations
     and ONLY A SMALL PROPORTION OF THE ARGENTINE CLAIM WAS ENDORSED.

     This paper explains the legal regime and the political process 
     that led the Commission to REFUSE TO CONSIDER THE ARGENTINE CLAIM
     TO THE SHELF AROUND THE ISLANDS CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM,
     AND TO A PART OF ANTARCTICA. 
And, after citing Argentine government lies on the matter, and fake news reports from Argentina and the UK, it concludes with the following:

     the Argentine Foreign Ministry knew NO PART OF THE CONTINENTAL 
     SHELF AROUND THE ISLANDS UNDER BRITISH CONTROL WOULD BE CONSIDERED
     by the sub-commission.

     [...] 

     Indeed, the legal situation was so unambiguous that THE ARGENTINE 
     DELEGATION DID NOT EVEN ASK FOR THE FULL SUBMISSION TO BE CONSIDERED.
You literally, objectively, as a matter of fact don't know what you are talking about here.
