On Friday, March 27, Ukraine, Canada, Sweden, and the United Kingdom filed a joint counter-memorandum against Iran at the International Court of Justice in the case of the downing of a Ukraine International Airlines plane (flight PS752), which killed 176 people.

This is stated on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

“Ukraine, Canada, Sweden and the United Kingdom have jointly filed a counter-memorandum against the Islamic Republic of Iran in a case currently being considered by the UN International Court of Justice regarding an appeal of the jurisdiction of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) under Article 84 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention),” the report says.

The department emphasized that this is an important step towards establishing justice for the victims of the PS752 flight tragedy and their families, as well as holding Iran accountable under international law for gross violations of international law.

Earlier, on March 17, 2025, the ICAO Council confirmed its jurisdiction to consider the dispute regarding Iran's violation of the Convention on International Civil Aviation in connection with the shooting down of UIA flight PS752 by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on January 8, 2020, in the skies over Tehran.
