The Dutch and Australian governments, which lost 196 and 38 citizens respectively, said the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) would consider what form of reparation was in order.
In November 2022, Dutch judges convicted two Russian men and a Ukrainian man in absentia of murder for their role in the attack.
The ICAO, which is based in Montreal, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The case was launched in 2022 by Australia and the Netherlands.
“This decision also sends a clear message to the international community: states cannot violate international law with impunity.”
Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong urged the ICAO to move swiftly to determine remedies.
ICAO lacks regulatory power but holds moral suasion and sets global aviation standards overwhelmingly adopted by its 193-member states.
