MH17 Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak reiterated today that investigations at the MH17 crash site must continue despite the on-going geopolitical situation on the ground.

"I reiterate Malaysia's commitment to the families of the passengers and crew of MH17 and the fact that justice must be served on the criminals who committed this heinous act," he said in his Facebook posting.

Yesterday, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Council has unanimously adopted a resolution condemning the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine.

The aircraft, carrying 283 passengers and 15 crew members, crashed in eastern Ukraine on July 17 after it was believed to have been shot down while en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam.
