Russia submits rival MH17 resolution draft
In a UN resolution proposal, Russia has called for "perpetrators" in the likely downing of MH17 over Ukraine to be brought to justice. The draft ignores the requests for an international tribunal.
The document, introduced to the UN on Monday, suggested a special UN representative for last year's incident, when 298 people died aboard the Malaysia Airlines flight.
Russia also urged a "full, thorough, transparent and independent international investigation," to be "finalized" at the earliest possible time.
However, the UN resolution draft makes no mention of the international tribunal, suggested by Malaysia in a separate draft earlier this month.
