The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that complaints against Russia from Ukraine and the Netherlands should go to trial. They pertain to the 2014 downing of commercial airline Flight MH17, among other things.
The European Court of Human Rights on Wednesday decided that complaints from Ukraine and the Netherlands against the Russian Federation, pertaining to activities in contested eastern Ukraine prior to Russia's full-scale invasion last year, should be heard at trial.
The decision is a procedural one that does not speak to the merits of the cases, only their admissibility. But it does show that the court based in Strasbourg believes Russia can be held liable for human rights violations in the breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine from as early as 2014.
Probably the highest-profile component of the case is the Netherlands' complaint over the shooting down of the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 commercial airliner over eastern Ukraine in July 2014. In total, 298 people were killed; 193 of them were Dutch citizens.
