The ICAO Council has ruled that Russia was responsible for the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July 2014, which killed all 298 people on board. This decision follows a case brought by Australia and the Netherlands, who argued Russia failed its obligations under international air law. The ICAO Council agreed, and will now consider the matter of reparations sought by the two countries. Russia has denied involvement. This ruling builds on a previous Dutch court verdict that convicted three individuals in absentia for the murders.
