Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib spoke of “an important step in the search for truth and justice.“
“It is essential that those responsible for the destruction of flight MH17 answer for their actions, in accordance with Security Council resolution 2166 (passed in 2014). I reiterate my condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims and salute the patience and dignity they have shown throughout this trial.“, she added.
Criminal investigations into the involvement of others are ongoing. Together with the other countries forming part of the Joint Investigation Team (“Joint Investigation Team“, JIT), Belgium is continuing its efforts to shed light on all the facts, so that justice can be done independently, said Ms. Lahbib (MR).
