Holland Pushes for International Tribunal to Prosecute MH17 Crash Suspects
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The draft, obtained by RIA Novosti, was sent to representatives of Malaysia, the United States, Ukraine, Russia, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Netherlands on June 2.

The countries have 60 days to provide comments on the report, in accordance with annex 13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Dutch Safety Board will assess the comments it receives and take them into account in the final report, expected in late October.

In July 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, crashed in war-torn Eastern Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of all 298 people on board. The plane broke up in the air after being hit by multiple objects from outside the airframe, according to a September 2014 preliminary report by the Dutch Safety Board.

Kiev forces and independence supporters of Ukraine’s Donbas region have accused each other of being responsible for the tragedy.
