Brok i Plenković: pronaći odgovorne za rušenje malezijskog zrakoplova MH17
U zajedničkoj izjavi, predsjednik Odbora za vanjske poslove EP-a Elmar Brok i predsjednik Izaslanstva za Ukrajinu Andrej Plenković pozdravili su izvješće nizozemskog Odbora za sigurnost o rušenju malezijskog zrakoplova MH17 iznad istočne Ukrajine u srpnju 2014. pri kojem je poginulo 298 ljudi
Ujedno su istaknuli važnost provođenja kvalitetne istrage po međunarodnom pravu kako bi se otkrili odgovorni za ovu tragediju.
“We welcome the release of the report by the Dutch Safety Board on the downing of the MH17, in which 298 persons tragically died. We commend this work as an example of impartial and honest investigation identifying all facts and analysis on downing of the Malaysia Airlines flight over the conflict-hit region in the East of Ukraine in July 2014. We take note, amongst others, of the conclusion drawn that the plane was downed by a missile installed on a BUK surface-to-air missile system.
We commend the cooperation between Ukraine, Malaysia, Australia, the United States, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom in providing information to the international expert team led by the Dutch Safety Board. This demonstrates that a constructive cooperation between the states involved in the investigation is possible, and that all parties are committed to understand what happened and to unveil the truth. In that respect, we want to stress the importance of concluding, under international law, of the investigation on the identification of those responsible of such tragedy.
We support the establishment of an international criminal tribunal, and welcome this proposal by a number of UN Members states. Regrettably, the possibility to establish such a tribunal was vetoed by the Russian Federation. We therefore call on the Russian Federation to fully cooperate with the international community in order to conduct comprehensive and impartial criminal investigation, and bring the responsible ones to justice.”
