BEIJING: Malaysia is committed to working with the MH17 joint investigation team (JIT) members to push for an independent international court to prosecute those responsible for the downing of the plane, says Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

The Transport Minister said the report by the Dutch Safety Board on the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) aircraft has confirmed that the shooting down of the Boeing 777 over eastern Ukraine on July 17, last year, was a criminal act.
