The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) marked the sixth anniversary of the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752. The statement notes that Iran continues to refuse full legal responsibility, despite admitting that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down the aircraft. It describes the incident as an affront to the memory of the 176 victims, including UK nationals. The UK, together with Canada, Sweden and Ukraine, reiterates its commitment to justice, accountability and transparency for the families. The FCDO will keep advancing legal actions at the International Court of Justice and the International Civil Aviation Organization, demanding that Iran be held accountable for breaches of international law.
