The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has made a historic ruling that Russia violated aviation law by using weapons against Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. The UK praised the decision as a key step toward justice for the 298 victims, including 10 UK citizens.
On 12 May 2025, the ICAO Council ruled that Russia violated Article 3bis of the Chicago Convention by using weapons against a civilian aircraft, causing the MH17 tragedy. This marks the first instance in ICAO's 80-year history where the Council has ruled on the merits of an international legal aviation dispute.
This decision reaffirms global respect for the Convention on International Civil Aviation, highlighting the obligations of States to ensure safer skies. It also marks a step toward justice for the families of the 298 individuals who lost their lives, including 10 UK citizens.
The UK Government has praised ICAO's leadership and transparent approach in handling this case. The ruling also serves as a stark reminder of Russia’s dangerous disregard for civilian safety and international norms.
