💨 Abstract

The International Civil Aviation Organization's Council found Russia responsible for downing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in 2014, killing 298 people. This decision opens the door for possible compensation to victims' families. A previous investigation concluded that Russian-supplied missiles were used by separatists in Ukraine, though Russia denies involvement. The Netherlands and Australia, who pursued the case, welcomed the verdict and seek reparations from Russia within weeks.
