MH17 Anniversary Commemorated with Calls for Justice

The Netherlands commemorated the 298 victims of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, shot down over Ukraine ten years ago, with a ceremony attended by various countries' representatives. Investigations confirmed the plane was downed by a Russian missile system, leading to a Dutch court convicting individuals in absentia. Legal actions are ongoing at the European Court of Human Rights and the International Civil Aviation Organisation to hold Russia accountable under international law. On the 10th anniversary, memorials were held, and calls for justice and cooperation with accountability efforts continue internationally.
