It's been eight years since 298 people died when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine.

A Dutch court has convicted two Russians and a Ukrainian of murder in absentia.

However, none of the men ever appeared in court.

So has justice been served? And could the case set a precedent for legal action over Russia's invasion of Ukraine?

Presenter: Folly Bah Thibault

Guests:

Thomas Schansman - parent of son killed in the MH17 attack.

Marieke de Hoon - Assistant Professor of international criminal law, University of Amsterdam.

Samuel Ramani - Associate Fellow, Royal United Services Institute.
