Lineer Mn17 Lainer: ECLSC pleaded guilty of the death of passengers and crew members

Moscow is guilty of refusing to investigate the causes of the catastrophe, stated in the resolutive part of the decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) of January 25. The aircraft was operating MN17 Amsterdam (Netherlands)-Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). It was knocked down in the sky over the Donetsk region on July 17, 2014. In the region, the fighting of the so -called "DNR" and the Ukrainian army was fighting in Russia's supported by Russia.

Almost 2/3 of the passengers were subjected to the Netherlands. "In the decision in the case of Ukraine and the Netherlands against the Russian Federation (complaints No. 8019/16, 43800/14 and 28525/20), the Grand Chamber of ECtHR recognized complaints partially acceptable," the judge said. The ECtHR decision is final, the decision will essentially be said in the document.

Russia, according to the prosecutors, plays a major role in the Boeing accident, and the Kremlin is having a purposeful campaign for misinformation about the tragedy. The ECtHR is called such actions by a gross violation of the civil rights of the relatives of the dead. The judges decided whether Moscow really controlled the captured territories of Ukraine, from which the rocket was launched.

The ECtHR's decision states that the occupied areas of Eastern Ukraine since May 11, 2014 and at least until January 26, 2022 were under the control of the Russian Federation. The court confirmed the existence of regular Russian troops in the region since April 2014. It was the Russian Federation that influenced the strategy of fighters, supplied them with weapons and equipment, according to the document.

Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine Irina Wise added on Facebook that this judgment would be another mechanism for bringing Russia to international responsibility. "The ECtHR decision will help to hold the Russian Federation for actions that have led to mass human rights violations in eastern Ukraine and to stop these violations as far as possible.

Supporting individual claims of citizens and companies against the Russian Federation both in the ECtHR and in investment arbitrations and will be the basis , in which individual cases, cases in arbitrations will move further so that applicants can charge compensations from Russia for violation of the right, ”she explained. In addition, the court decision can be used for diplomatic pressure on Russia and the introduction of additional sanctions of different levels.

Viewers of the British Radio Station of the Air Force have suggested that in the event of a loss of Russia in court the ECtHR may oblige it to pay compensation to the victims. "In practice, this decision may remain symbolic: in the summer, the law has been adopted by the ECtHR decision in the summer, which came into force after March 15. There is no statute of limitations in these payments. The prospect of payments on ECtHR decisions can eventually repeat the history ", - the journalists said.

We will remind that the Hague court on November 17 recognized the fact of beating the MH17 aircraft from the ZRK "Bee" from the village of Pervomaisko. On the day of the tragedy, the settlement was occupied by DNR fighters. The Buk's installation belonged to the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade of Russia's troops, according to the court. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky considered such a court decision important.
