Canada, Sweden, Ukraine and the United Kingdom say they’ll continue their efforts to hold Iran legally accountable for shooting down Flight PS752 and killing 176 people by referring the matter to the International Court of Justice.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly met with the families of the victims Thursday morning to update them on the response group's next steps.

Triggering the International Court of Justice process will take a few days because it requires the Iranian Embassy at The Hague to be open, but it remains closed until the end of the week for Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down the Ukraine International Airlines flight shortly after takeoff in Tehran on Jan. 8, 2020.

Lawyers representing the families went to court seeking permission to seize three properties in Ottawa and withdraw money from bank accounts at the Royal Bank of Canada and Scotiabank maintained by Iran.
