Landmark ruling finds Russia shot down MH17 with 38 Australians on board | Malaysia Airlines flight MH17

The European Court of Europe made a curse against Russia on Wednesday in four cases of Kiev and the Netherlands, including killing all passengers, including 38 Australians, reduce the MH17 flight of Moscow.

Judges in the European Court of Human Rights have decided that Russia was responsible for the widespread violations of international law in the fall of 17 of the Malaysian Airlines flight from 17th of 17 that year and in 2022.

The Court President Mattias Guyomar said that while reading the decisions in a packaged courtroom in Strasbourg, the Russian forces engaged in “clearly illegal” in the flight attack on July 2014.

“The court said in a statement,” the court, the evidence, probably a military plane with the wrong belief that the missile intentionally fired MH17 flight, “he said. He said.

“Russia did not need to decide exactly who fired the missile, as Russian armed forces and armed separatists were responsible for their actions.

“The Court accepted the evidence of a Buk-Talar of the Dutch Government. [missile system] Acting alone could not distinguish between military and civilian aircraft.

“The Court has found that no measures have been taken by Russia to accurately define military targets in order to violate the principles of distinction and precaution.”

The Kremlin said that he would greatly ignore the symbolic judgment, but Ukraine greeted it as “historical and unseen ve and said that it was a“ undeniable victory için for the challenging country.

The 501 -page decision said that Russia’s refusal to participate in trials was a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights, the agreement of the court.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, when the decisions before the decision was asked about the decision, “We will not obey it, we think it is invalid,” he said.

The families of the victims of the disaster of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 saw the decision as an important milestone in the search for 11 years of justice.

18 -year -old son Quinn, Jetliner’s ship Thomas Schansman, the decision clearly stated who caused the disaster, he said. Schanceman said Russia “responsible for killing my son,” he said.

The Boeing 777 was shot on July 17, 2014 using a Russian -made buk missile fired from the region in Ukraine, controlled by loyal separatist rebels.

298 passengers and crew were killed. The victims came from 17 countries and included 198 Dutch citizens, 43 Malaysian, 38 Australians and 10 from England.

Judges, Russia’s refusal to accept the participation of the MH17 disaster also violated international law. The lack of proper investigation of Russia, the relatives and friends of the dead, “significantly aggravated the pain”.

“Russia did not take any opportunity to tell the truth, Schasman said Schansman.

In May, after the UN Aviation Agency, Australia and the Netherlands, in accordance with Article 84 of the International Civil Aviation Convention, Russia found Russia responsible for disaster.

The ECHR is an important part of the Council of Europe, the leading human rights institution in the continent. The court’s administrative body fired Moscow in 2022 in response to the entire invasion, but the court may still deal with the cases of staying before being deported, and the country still has to participate in trials.

The court will decide on financial compensation at a later date, but Russia’s separation leaves little hope that the damages will be collected.

Decisions in Strasbourg are separate from the criminal prosecution in which two Russian and Ukraine rebels in the Netherlands were deprived of multiple murders for their roles on the MH17 flight.
