Excerpt:
According to Elsevier sources, this (secret) agreement has one condition that ensures all parties within the JIT group (including Ukraine) have the right to secrecy. In other words: if any of the parties finds that certain evidence might be damaging, it is entitled to demand complete secrecy by all JIT members.

I am a Dutch citizen who lives here in Malaysia. This morning I read some news regarding MH17 in Elsevier, a worthy Dutch news magazine.
As you should know the Dutch government signed an agreement with 3 other countries (Belgium, Australia and Ukraine) about the manner in which the JIT would investigate the MH17 disaster.
According to Elsevier sources, this (secret) agreement has one condition that ensures all parties within the JIT group (including Ukraine) have the right to secrecy. In other words: if any of the parties finds that certain evidence might be damaging, it is entitled to demand complete secrecy by all JIT members.
Of course an incredible situation: how can Ukraine, one of the two suspected parties, ever be offered such an agreement?
Using the Dutch Secrets Act, Elsevier has recently asked the government to reveal the details of the agreement. Apparently yesterday the Dutch government REFUSED to reveal any of those details, as it could ‘endanger the relations with the other countries involved‘.
