More than ten years ago, a passenger beam of the Malaysian airlines with the flight number MH17 was shot down on the way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over Eastern Ukraine. In November 2022, a Dutch court condemned two Russians and a Ukrainian in absence for murder of their participation in the attack, in which 298 people died. Now the UN Aviation Authority ICAO has also set a definitive judgment in the Causa MH17.
The ICAO, based in Montreal, also comes to the conclusion that Russia is responsible for shooting. The floor rocket of the Buk came from Arsenal, Russian, and was in the hands of Prorussian separatists in eastern Ukraine.
“Clear message to the international community”
Among the 298 dead were usually Dutch and Australians. The governments of both countries have announced that the UN Air Council would investigate the form of recovery in the coming weeks. “The decision is an important step to discover the truth and to obtain justice and accountability for all victims of the MH17 Vliegen and their families and family members,” said Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp in a statement. The decision sends a clear message to the international community that states could not violate international law.
Russia rejects involvement
The Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said that her government welcomed the decision and asks the ICAO to take measures quickly. “We ask Russia to finally face his responsibility for this terrible act of violence and to restore his scandalous behavior in accordance with international law.” Russia has repeatedly rejected a involvement in the shooting of the passenger plane and described the court in the Netherlands as “outrageous”.
