U.N. Security Council Slams MH17 Downing, Demands Crash Site Access
With the backing of Russia, the U.N. Security Council on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution condemning the downing of a Malaysian passenger jet and demanding crash site access in rebel-held east Ukraine.
Australia took the lead in drafting the resolution that was adopted after some changes were made to satisfy Moscow.
The measure called for a full, independent international investigation of the Malaysia Airlines plane disaster and demanded that those responsible face justice.
"We must have answers. We must have justice," Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the 15-member Council.
