Russia responsible for MH17 crash, UN says
ai generated text
Multiple sources confirm that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Dutch judges have found Russia responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine in 2014. The ICAO council ruled that Russia breached international law by using weapons against a civil aircraft in flight, resulting in the deaths of all 298 people on board. Dutch judges convicted two Russian men and a Ukrainian man in absentia of murder. Russia has consistently denied responsibility and rejected the "biased conclusions" of the United Nations aviation agency report.
The Russian Federation failed to uphold its obligations under international air law in the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
We call upon Russia to finally face up to its responsibility for this horrific act of violence and make reparations for its egregious conduct, as required under international law.
This decision also sends a clear message to the international community: states cannot violate international law with impunity.
The decision cannot take away their grief and suffering, but it is an important step toward truth-finding, justice and accountability for all victims of flight MH17 and their relatives.
Russia was not a country that participated in the investigation of this incident. Therefore we no not accept all these biased conclusions.
