      800px-Malaysia_Airlines_Boeing_777-200ER_PER_Koch-2A Malaysian Airlines passenger flight, MH17, from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down over the Ukraine border on July 17, 2014. It is believed that surface-to-air missile was used to shoot down the airline, which claimed the lives of about 300 people. Malaysian Airlines has encountered twin tragedies this year. Firstly, the disappearance of MH 370 while on a flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur and the MH 17 crash.

      The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has adopted a resolution demanding international access to the crash site of MH17. All 15 council members have agreed in favour of Australia’s demand for an independent investigation. The resolution has called for "full, thorough and independent international investigation into downing of MH17. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the resolution is an "unambiguous response from the international community to an utterly deplorable act."
