Russian veto of MH17 tribunal impedes justice
2015-07-30
[RFE/RL] Russia's veto of a Security Council resolution to create a criminal court for Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 has halted the best chance the international community has of forcing states to cooperate in finding out who was responsible. This is because all UN member states are bound to recognize the authority of tribunals created by the Security Council. But any other international court can safely be ignored should a state choose to do so.

This leaves the countries that sponsored the UN resolution voted on on July 29 in a tough position.

#2  Just remember, it's obviously the Unkrainians, so there's no need to examine things further.
If ever there was an example of Russia's veto power in the western media this is it.
