UN Aviation Council Rules Russia Responsible for MH17 Downing

  • The UN aviation agency ruled on May 12, 2025, that Russia downed Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in 2014 over eastern Ukraine, killing 298 people onboard.
  • The incident was caused by a Russian-made BUK missile launched from territory controlled by separatists aligned with Russia, during fighting between these forces and the Ukrainian military in the Donetsk region.
  • Australia and the Netherlands, representing the countries with the most victims, brought claims against Russia, which were deemed well founded in fact and law by ICAO's council.
  • In 2023, international investigators reported strong indications that President Putin authorized the provision of the missile, while in 2022, a court in the Netherlands handed down life sentences to three individuals, although Russia declined to extradite them.
  • The ruling demands Russia assume responsibility and make reparations under international law, with Australia and the Netherlands urging ICAO to oversee negotiations for legal redress.
