Australia took the lead in drafting the resolution that was adopted after some changes were made to satisfy Moscow.

The measure called for a full, independent international investigation of the Malaysia Airlines plane disaster and demanded that those responsible face justice.

“We must have answers. We must have justice,” Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the 15-member Council.
