Australia’s position on the establishment of the tribunal for the Boeing on Tuesday voiced by Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, reports Reuters.

«The creation of an international tribunal … will make it clear that the international community will not tolerate actions that threaten international peace and security “, – said the head of Australian diplomacy. The Tribunal will have to ensure international support for the prosecution, as well as to expand opportunities for international cooperation in this matter, she added.

July 9th Malaysia circulated a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding form an international tribunal to investigate the crash of a passenger Boeing in July 2014 near Donetsk. The draft resolution says that the court would be “an effective guarantee for independent and impartial investigation process.” The text notes that the collapse of the plane in the sky over Ukraine is “a threat to international peace and security” and all States should cooperate fully with the tribunal.

Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Peter Ilyich commenting draft resolution, said that Russia considers the idea of ​​a tribunal on the case of the collapse of Boeing counterproductive. Asked whether Russia opposes the creation of such a tribunal, he replied: “Yes.” Russia as a permanent participant of the UN Security Council has the right of veto, along with France, Britain, China and the US, and may block the resolution.
