LONDON, Jan. 8 -- The government of the United Kingdom issued the following news:
An FCDO spokesperson said:
Today marks the six-year anniversary of Iran's illegal downing ofUkraine International Airlines Flight 752.
After all these years, Irancontinues to refuse to take full legal responsibility for the downing, despite admitting its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down Flight PS752.
This is an affront to the memory of the 176 innocent victims, including UK nationals.
The UK, alongside our allies in Canada, Sweden and Ukraine,remains committed to the pursuit of justice, accountability and transparency for the victims and their families.
We will continue to progress our legal cases at the International Court of Justice and the International Civil Aviation Organization. Iran must be held accountable for its breaches of international law.
