On July 17, in 2014, Malaysian airlines flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, killing 298 people, including 38 Australians.

The tragedy claimed the lives of four members of Perth’s Maslin family – three children and their grandfather.

It’s been claimed that Russia was responsible for the attack, and now the Australian government – along with The Netherlands is taking legal action against Russia in what they’ve called a fight for truth, justice and accountability.

National Executive Director of the Australian Institute of International Affairs, Dr Bryce Wakefield explains the complicated issue.
