Canada, Sweden, Ukraine, UK take Iran to ICJ over downed jet

Canada, Britain, Sweden and Ukraine have taken Iran to the International Court of Justice to seek damages for families of passengers on a jetliner downed by Tehran in 2020, the tribunal said Wednesday.

They allege Iran “violated a series of obligations” under a convention on civil aviation by shooting down Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 people on board. (BSS/AFP)
