The new action over the downing of the commercial airliner that killed 298 people is a sharp escalation that confronts the Russian state, rather than individuals.
Australia has launched legal action against Russia over the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine eight years ago in a sharp escalation that confronts the Russian state, rather than individual perpetrators, with the deaths of 298 victims.
While the UN agency cannot order reparations to be paid, it could suspend Russia and impose indirect costs in global aviation. MH17 was shot down in July 2014 while in flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and travelling over eastern Ukraine when separatists backed by Russia were fighting Ukrainian forces in the months after the Russian invasion and annexation of Crimea.but none agreed to attend the Dutch court. Three Russians were charged – Sergei Dubinsky, Oleg Pulatov and Igor Girkin – as well as one Ukrainian, Leonid Kharchenko.
