MH17 crash: Russia vetoes UN resolution
for international tribunal
- 29
July 2015
- From
the section Europe
Russia has used its veto at the UN to block a draft resolution to
set up an international tribunal into the MH17 air disaster in July 2014.
It was the only nation at the 15-member UN Security Council to
oppose the move, triggering widespread condemnation.
The Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur
crashed in eastern Ukraine, killing all
298 people on board.
Pro-Russian rebels in the area have denied shooting down the
aircraft.
Western nations and Ukraine say there is evidence it was hit by a
Russian-supplied Buk anti-aircraft missile - a claim also denied by Russia.
'Callous disregard'
Malaysia pushed for an international tribunal to try those
responsible. The move was backed by the Netherlands - which had 196 nationals
on board - Ukraine, Belgium and Australia.
Moscow has blamed the government in Kiev for the disaster.
Speaking
earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the
establishment of a tribunal would be "premature" and
"counter-productive".
Russia exercised its veto at the Security Council session in New
York during a vote on Wednesday, while 11 other members backed the draft resolution.
Angola, China and Venezuela abstained.
"Russia has callously disregarded the public outcry in the
grieving nations," said Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the UN.
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called the Russian veto
"an affront to the memory of the 298 victims of MH17 and their families
and friends".
She said Australia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Ukraine and Belgium
would seek an alternative prosecution mechanism, without giving further
details.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said: "There can be
no reason to oppose this [draft resolution] unless you are a perpetrator
yourself."
Russia's envoy to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, defended his country's
actions, saying any criminal prosecutions would have been carried out in a
"closed fashion".
He also criticised "aggressive propaganda" and said
Russian investigators had been denied equal access to the crash site.
Moscow drafted an alternative resolution that did not include a
tribunal, but called for a full international investigation.
Malaysia's transport minister had urged council members to vote in
favour of a tribunal, saying it would be best placed to "deliver justice
to the families of the victims".
A final report on the cause of the crash by the Dutch Safety Board
is due to be released in October.
