Editor’s note: The story is being updated.<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Strasbourg-based court also found Russia accountable<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
