The ICAO Council has ruled that the Russian Federation is responsible for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, violating the Chicago Convention.
This decision, made in response to a 2022 case brought by the Netherlands and Australia, supports their claims and marks a significant step toward justice for the 298 victims and their families.
Dutch Foreign Minister Veldkamp welcomed the ruling as a clear message that states cannot breach international law without consequences.
The ICAO Council will next consider how legal redress should proceed, including possible negotiations supervised by the Council.
