Although Argentina and Chile are playing nice now, it wasn't the case in the 80's and early 90's, and even as late as 2006 there were still issues - and that doesn't even include the dispute over Antarctica.

Border issues
In bilateral manner, both countries settled all the remaining disputes except Laguna del Desierto, which was decided by International Arbitration in 1994. The decision favoured Argentine claims.
According to a 1998 negotiation held in Buenos Aires, a 50 km (31 mi) section of the boundary in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field is still pending of mapping and demarcation according to the limits already settled by the 1881 treaty. In 2006 president Néstor Kirchner invited Chile to define the border, but Michelle Bachelet's government left the invitation unanswered. The same year, the Chilean government sent a note to Argentina complaining about Argentine tourism maps that showed a normal boundary in the Southern Patagonian Icefield with most of the area belonging to Argentina.

Would the UN really relocate to Chile given the ongoing and unresolved dispute with Argentina? How would Argentina respond to that?
