Malaysia Airlines, ICAO Resolutions Not Good
ICAO’s Condemnations of Assaults on Civil Aviation Are Not Satisfactory
There Must Be Convictions & Consequences
Dutch Public Prosecutor Fred Westerbeke presented the conclusions as to the causes of the MH-17 tragedy as made by the Joint Investigative Team (JIT). To read the findings, click here.
The JIT is a special body, established by the Netherlands to conduct a criminal investigation, needed when two or more countries are cooperating to establish a legal record in order to initiate prosecution in the interested jurisdictions. Its members included representatives of Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and Ukraine.
The missile killed 283 passengers and 15 crew members. The tragedy impacted the lives of families around the globe.
The Flight Safety Foundation issued a press statement in which it made a distinction worth noting:
“’Flight Safety Foundation often has been in the forefront of opposing efforts to essentially criminalize honest mistakes in aviation that happen to have catastrophic consequences,’ said President and CEO Jon Beatty. ‘In the case of MH17, however, evidence is mounting that this shoot-down of a civilian aircraft was a premeditated act, where criminal investigation and prosecution may well be appropriate, if authorities find out who knew about or gave the command to fire a deadly missile at this plane. We urge all states to cooperate fully in this investigation. Also, because Russia claims the Joint Investigation Team to be biased and difficulty remains in obtaining all evidence, we again call on all states to support a resolution at the U.N. Security Council to form an independent, international panel to fully investigate this tragedy. The 298 souls on board MH17 and their loved ones deserve nothing less.’”
The International Civil Aviation Organization welcomed the Dutch Safety Board’s accident investigation Final Report for Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 a year ago. As of the date of this posting it has not responded to the FSF call for a UN panel.
The 36 State Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), during its 203rd Session unanimously adopted a Resolution condemning,in the strongest terms, the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine.
