There was a fight for them and they're still British. There was a referendum and the islanders overwhelmingly want to stay British.

The UN asked Great Britain to give the island back to Argentina, but they refused.

I should have been more precise in my language, and that say that the UN wanted them to negotiate a peaceful end to the war and ownership, but generally speaking, yes, based on follow up votes/press releases that the UN made on the subject (like this one).
