Families who lost loved ones in the destruction of Flight PS752 are celebrating after their long fight to bring Iran to account in an international court moved one step closer to success this week.
Canada, the U.K., Sweden and Ukraine officially launched their case against Iran on Wednesday before the International Court of Justice. The joint application instituting proceedings said “Iran has violated its obligations” under an international treaty and failed to prevent the “unlawful and intentional” destruction of Flight PS752.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired two surface-to-air missiles at the Ukraine International Airlines flight on Jan. 8, 2020, shortly after takeoff in Tehran.
