The collapse of the Ukrainian Boeing 737 in Iran: how will the investigation and what to expect from him

To dot the “I” about the upcoming investigation of the causes of the fall of the Ukrainian airliner in Tehran and find out what really happened this morning in Iran, we offer detailed analysis of the situation from the lawyer Andrew Hooke, which he shared on his page in “Facebook”.

The lawyer said at the outset that Iran is also a member of the International civil aviation organization and in accordance with the Chicago Convention, is obliged to carry out neprestannoe investigation of the causes of the crash. The authorities are obliged to establish a special Commission which structure should include representatives of the developer of the aircraft, representatives of aviation organizations of the country, which operates the plane, representatives of other States and international organizations.

Next: you need to remember that, in accordance with the same Chicago Convention, the purpose of investigations of aviation accidents is not so much the establishment of the culprits as the causes of the crash and formulate recommendations to avoid future similar situations.

If national legislation provides for the payment of compensation, the carrier shall immediately do so. And most importantly: the “black boxes” do not have to transfer to the manufacturer of the aircraft. They can explore other countries: such was the case in 2014, when the “black boxes” from flight MH-17 investigated not the Netherlands, and the UK in conjunction with the Ukrainian, Malaysian and American experts.

Earlier, we reported that Iran will self-decrypt the black boxes, Ukrainian passenger liner the Boeing 737, which in the early morning of January 8, crashed near Tehran. Give them to Ukraine Iranian authorities categorically refuse.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Goncharuk explained that the sky over Iran closed to the UIA and other Ukrainian airlines. He assured that before the tragedy, it was not done because of lack of grounds for such decision. On the morning of 8 January in Tehran and worked for other airlines, and the sky, no one blocked.
