WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INVESTIGATION AND A TRIBUNAL?

An investigation produces evidence. A tribunal judges that evidence.

But if only a handful of countries, who have a vested interest in guaranteeing a particular outcome, control that investigation, and there is a secret agreement between those nations that withholds evidence to bring about that desired outcome, then what use is a tribunal based on that investigation?

The tribunal would see just one version of events.

Is that justice?

So I am in favour of a fully independent international investigation into MH17. What we have had to date is The Netherlands (founders of NATO who want Ukraine in NATO) running an investigation with Ukraine (who want to be in NATO) into the crash of a civilian passenger jet in an area of Ukraine, when the airspace over Ukraine should really have been closed to all civilian air traffic.

The fix is in.
