"Australia and the Netherlands have started legal action against Russia in the
International Civil Aviation Organisation for the downing of Malaysia Airlines
Flight MH17 on July 17, 2014.

The two countries are seeking to have Russia’s action declared a breach of the
Convention on International Civil Aviation, Russia ordered into “good faith”
negotiations on reparations and its ICAO voting power suspended until the
negotiations reached “a satisfactory outcome”.

The missile attack, over eastern Ukraine, killed 298 people, 38 of them
Australian citizens and permanent residents. The plane was flying from
Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.

Australia and the Netherlands hold Russia responsible under international law."
