Australia to continue proceedings at ICAO after Hague court's verdict on MH17

Canberra, Nov 18 (UNI) Australia, following the verdict of the Hague District Court in the case of the MH17 plane crash in Donbas, will continue proceedings at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Friday.
On Thursday, the court found two Russian citizens, Igor Girkin and Sergei Dubinsky, and Ukrainian citizen Leonid Kharchenko guilty of shooting down the MH17 plane and sentenced them to life imprisonment in absentia. They also have to pay 16 million euro (
16.6 million) in damages to families of the victims. The fourth defendant, Russian national Oleg Pulatov, was acquitted of the charges. The Hague court did not directly link the use of the Buk air defense system that led to the plane crash with Moscow, but said that Russia controlled the region where the incident happened at the time.
