UN Security Council Adopts Resolution 2166
The UN Security Council unanimously adopts Resolution 2166, calling for a full, thorough and independent international investigation; demanding safe, full and unrestricted access to the crash site for investigators; and calling on all parties to cooperate. Australia sponsors the resolution. Russia — which normally would veto — votes in favor after text is negotiated (replacing 'shooting down' with 'downing').
