NSTnation 'It is important for the world to know what happened' MH17
"We have waited many years and are very much looking forward to the trial," said Stichting Vliegramp MH17 chairman Piet Ploeg.
The foundation was set up to enable family members of victims to exchange information and receive support. It has a close relationship with prosecutors and would get first hand information on the latest developments.On trial will be four suspects identified by the Netherlands' Public Prosecution Service - Russians Igor Girkin, Sergey Dubinskiy and Oleg Pulatov, and Ukrainian Leonid Kharchenko. They are not expected to be present.
"It is important for the world to know what happened. When the court gives a judgment, we will get our justice."The government can push for the judgment to be enforced or secure an undertaking from Russia to find out who fired the missile.""Maybe 15 years.. But I will follow this through for as long as it takes.""Closure means you can forget and move on, but that is impossible when you lose family members in such a way.
The current format for the investigation and trial was chosen by the countries whose citizens perished in the crash after Russia used its veto in July 2015 at the United Nations to block a draft resolution to set up an international tribunal into the MH17 air disaster.
