It doesn&#x27;t matter what they&#x27;ve claimed they didn&#x27;t had the authority to claim that in the 1st place.<p>Now this doesn&#x27;t say that common sense should not have been used and that the ICAO should not have released a direction to not fly over that area as it was an active war zone but that doesn&#x27;t makes this any less of a crime.<p>Accidents still happen but shooting down an airliner even in accident (which happened before) is still something that should be investigated, even for something as simple as compensation, and if this was not only in accident but also in either malice or negligence then there are sufficient grounds for criminal proceedings.
