The European Union advocates the creation of a legally binding and reliable mechanism for judicial persecution of those responsible for the death of the Malaysian Boeing-777. This is stated in the statement of the Supreme Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the EU Federica Mogherini in connection with the anniversary of the tragedy.
"Those who are directly or indirectly guilty of destroying the MH17 flight must be held accountable and devoted to the court in accordance with the UN 2166 Security Council resolution. In this regard, the EU and its member state fully support the continuing efforts to create [legally] binding and reliable mechanism of persecution," the statement says.
“Acts of violence that threaten the safety of flights in civil aviation are serious violations of international peace and security,” Mogherini emphasized. She noted the progress achieved in the identification and repatriation of victims, the collection of debris and the ongoing investigation of the death of the aircraft.
On Tuesday, Malaysia officially introduceda draft resolution on the creation of an international tribunal for criminal prosecution of those responsible for the death of the Boeing-777. According to the draft resolution, consultations at the level of experts began.
Russia opposed abruptly against this proposal. “Nobody agreed with us a draft resolution, the idea was thrown quickly enough to adopt in a matter of days. This is not done,” said Konstantin Dolgov, authorized by the Russian Foreign Ministry of the Russian Foreign Ministry, “forgot about one resolution, did not actually answer our calls to work on the resolution of 2166 on the air of the Russian 24. A distant document, which, if accepted, can be subjected to the widest interpretations and interpretations. "
On Thursday, Vladimir Putin, in a conversation with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte , called premature and counter-productive proposals for the establishment of the International Tribunal. Putin also drew the attention of Rutte to the “inadmissibility of“ stuffing ”in the media of various versions of a frankly politicized character.”
