Those responsible for the downing of the Malaysian passenger aircraft MH17 over Donbas should not be subject to the amnesty envisaged in the Minsk II agreements and should be punished, New Zealand's envoy to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Jim McLay has said.
“The amnesty offered by the resolution adopted today should not apply to those responsible for that crime,” McLay said during the UNSC meeting on Feb. 17 evening.
He recalled the UNSC’s previous decisions on the disaster, which say that “the victims of that tragedy must not be forgotten, and those responsible must be held accountable.”
