Seeking justice for Argentine war victims in Malvinas Two lawyers will file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of relatives of the Argentine victims who perished in the sinking of the General Belgrano cruise, where 323 sailors and officers were killed. April 16, 2013 | 15:03 | Reuters Veterans and relatives of Argentine victims in the Malvinas war will seek justice in a war crimes case that will be presented this week against Britain for the 1982 sinking of the General Belgrano cruiser. In the attack against the cruise of the Argentine Navy 323 sailors and officers died. Two lawyers from Buenos Aires traveled to Strasbourg, France, to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of the families of the victims, arguing that the ship, a pride of the Argentine fleet, was sunk outside the area. Exclusion of 320 kilometers during the 10-week war in which about 1,000 people died. "I believe in the justice of God, dear, but many more believe in the justice of man ... First, the justice of God, because of those 323 boys who died, someone had to face," said Luisa Romero Of Ibáñez, whose son Luis Alberto, 20, died in the sinking of the Belgrano. The cruiser, survivor of the Japanese attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, was sunk by three torpedoes on 2 May 1982 after being followed for 36 hours by the British nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror. The deaths in the attack on the ship accounted for almost half of the Argentine casualties in the war for the sovereignty of the Falklands, called Falklands by the British. The new legal offensive maintains that General Belgrano was sunk to undermine the peace negotiations mediated by the then President of Peru Fernando Belaúnde Terry. "In reality, the war began with the sinking of the Belgrano and all possibility of an agreement was exhausted," said the president of the Federation of Veterans of War of Argentina, Hector Miguel Beiroa. So far, "the peace negotiations were far advanced and the collapse stole the whole possibility" of reaching an agreement, he added. In addition to having been sunk outside the exclusion zone, the cruise was attacked without a formal declaration of war, in contravention of the 1907 Hague Convention, according to the opinion of Jorge Humberto Appiani and Jorge Antonio Olivera. "First, the General Belgrano cruise did not pose any danger to British forces. The nature of the decision was political rather than military," Beiroa said. The initial case is based on accusations filed by Romero de Ibáñez and Roberto Guillermo Rojas, who lost his son Ruben Horacio in the attack. "On the basis of what the advisory commission of the European Court of Human Rights says, they are going to file in the same lawsuit the extension of the demand for all the other victims," said Javier Olivera, son of the lawyer who manages the case. "For my son, I am representing him as a mother, right? But at the same time for the 323 deaths of (General) Belgrano," said Romero de Ibáñez. Former Argentine President Carlos Menem said in 1994 that former British Prime Minister Margaret should be extradited if it was determined that the sinking of General Belgrano had been a war crime. Shortly after Menem's statements, the Argentine Ministry of Defense issued a report describing the destruction of the ship as "a legal act of war," a point of view shared by General Belgrano's captain Héctor Bonzo. Eight years after the end of the conflict, the two countries have substantially improved their diplomatic relations, but Argentina still maintains its claim on the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands, which has been fighting since 1833.

As you can see LGBs were deployed in the campaign, but only near the very end. The very last GR3 sortie of the war was an LGB bombing mission on Stanley itself, in order to attack specific buildings occupied by Argentine occupation forces, but it was aborted when reports of 'White Flags flying over Stanley' were received from the front line.
