Legal Opinion on the international law aspects of the claim against the Russian Federation and its representatives in connection with the (...)

Summary/Abstract: In the light of existing international law it is not possible to hold the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation criminally or civilly responsible before the courts of other countries (except for an action before the Russian courts) or the International Criminal Court. Claiming compensation from the Russian Federation for shooting the Malaysia Airlines aircraft is available before the Russian in compliance with Russian law, or before international courts only through interstate litigation, provided that the parties agree to accept the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice or international arbitration and that the preconditions of responsibility are fulfilled. Claiming is also possible in the context of diplomatic protection, and – in case of actions by individuals against Russia – only before the European Court of Human Rights, after exhaustion of domestic legal remedies and demonstrating that Russia has committed a violation of the rights protected by the European Convention of Human Rights of 1950.
