PS752: International Civil Aviation Organisation Vote
The UK Government has issued a statement following the outcome of the International Civil Aviation Organisation hearing on the case of Flight PS752.
A UK Government spokesperson said:
“Today, on 17 March 2025, the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) rejected Iran’s preliminary objection in the case of Flight PS752.
“Canada, Sweden, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom welcome the decision by the ICAO Council to accept jurisdiction in the case.
“This decision takes us a step closer to holding Iran to account for its illegal downing of Flight PS752 in January 2020. We will now proceed to the next phase in our case against Iran at ICAO.
“We remain committed to seeking justice, transparency, and accountability for the 176 innocent victims and their families.”
