United by grief across oceans and continents, families who lost loved ones when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in 2014 hope that a trial starting next week will finally deliver something that has remained elusive ever since: The truth. For the families of the victims, the trial is the latest

1 / 24Netherlands Ukraine PlaneThe sun goes down over the over the house of Silene and Rob Fredriksz in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020. The couple lost their son Bryce and his girlfriend Daisy when a missile fired from territory controlled by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine tore the MH17 passenger jet apart.

On Monday, they will head to a conference center to watch the trial proceedings with other relatives from around the world. The actual courtroom is close to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport where the flight known as MH17 had taken off, heading for Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.The scale of the trial is unprecedented in Dutch law, said Marieke de Hoon, an assistant professor of international law at Vrije University Amsterdam.

That announcement led the Netherlands and Australia to declare that they are holding Russia legally responsible for the downing. That sentiment is shared in Malaysia by the family of Mastura Mustafa, who was a flight attendant on MH17. The team said last year there was “almost daily telephone contact” between the self-proclaimed leaders of the pro-Russia rebel Donetsk People’s Republic “and their contacts in the Russian Federation.”
