European human rights court to decide if it will admit MH17 case alleging Russian blame

NL Times  

The European Court of Human Rights will decide next Wednesday whether a case on Russia's role in the downing of Flight MH17 meets the requirements for admissibility, and can be assigned to one of the court's sections for proceedings on the case. A year ago, the Netherlands and Ukraine had a chance to convince the judges of the Human Rights Court that Russia was guilty. The case before the Human Rights Court is the third way the Netherlands has sought justice for the victims. In addition, the Netherlands is also trying to hold Russia accountable for the disaster, which could eventually lead to the International Court of Justice.
