Russia responsible for MH17 downing

The Bellingcat podcast episodes on the MH17 downing sure pointed solidly this way, though the wording here is pretty milquetoast. ICAO Council vote on Flight MH17 case:

The Council agreed that the claims brought by Australia and the Netherlands as a result of the shooting down of Flight MH17 on 17 July 2014, were well founded in fact and in law. The case centered on allegations that the conduct of the Russian Federation in the downing of the aircraft by a surface-to-air missile over eastern Ukraine constitutes a breach of Article 3 bis of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, which requires that States "refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight."
