The European Court of Human Rights found Russia responsible for the downing of Flight MH17, a Malaysian airliner shot down by Russian proxy forces in Ukraine in July 2014, according to a July 9 statement.
The Strasbourg-based court also found Russia accountable for “widespread and flagrant abuses of human rights” during its war against Ukraine that began with aggression in Donbas in 2014 and escalated after the full-scale invasion in 2022.
This marks the first case of an international court finding Russia accountable for the downing of the plane and for human rights abuses during its war against Ukraine.
The ruling concerns four cases lodged by Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia between 2014 and 2022, before Russia was expelled from the court following the outbreak of the full-scale war.
