GOMBAK: Human rights activist Gurdial Singh Nijar, a lawyer, has suggested that a class-action suit be filed against Ukraine by family members of MH17 crash victimes to hold liable the country where the aircraft was shot down.
Gurdial said the federal government, through the Attoney-General’s Chambers, could support such a suit, giving as an example a suit that the government took against Kelantan for failing to deal with Orang Asli welfare in the state.Gurdial, who heads the National Human Rights Society , is appearing on behalf of the federal government in the Kelantan lawsuit.
He said the Ukraine government had not warned airlines or closed the airspace over the combat zone in eastern Ukraine, among other things. Questions remained whether the Ukraine government had fulfilled their international obligations. “Whether we succeed in this, or otherwise, is a different matter. At least, there will be enough place for publicity and bring out the alternative narratives on the country that will be responsible,” Gurdial said.
