The ICAO, which has its headquarters in Montreal, did not respond to a request for comment right away. Australia and the Netherlands filed the situation in 2022.
Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp stated in a declaration that the choice is an important step toward establishing the facts and achieving fairness and accountability for all Flight MH17 victims and their loved ones.
” State can violate international law with impunity,” the global community is also sent a clear message with this choice.
The Netherlands and Australia want the ICAO Council to appoint a decree authorizing Russia to engage in compensation conversations, he added.
Penny Wong, the foreign minister of Australia, expressed her gratitude for the determination and called on the ICAO to act quickly to find solutions.
We call upon Russia to eventually accept its responsibility for this odious act of violence and to pay compensation for its obscene behavior, as required by international law,” Wong said in a speech.
Despite lacking regulatory authority, ICAO adheres to moral principles and increasingly adopts international aviation standards by its 193 member states.
