Russia in the way of UN resolution on panel to probe MH17 downing

KUALA LUMPUR: As cries for justice grow louder over the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, Malaysia is adamant in pushing for a resolution at the UN Security Council for an international criminal tribunal to probe the incident and punish the cuplrits.

Much of the world is behind Malaysia, with the four other countries in the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) – the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium and Ukraine – also taking the stand that only an international tribunal will be able to ensure justice.
