United Nations Security Council Resolution 2166, concerning the shootdown of
United Nations member states "to provide any requested assistance to civil and criminal investigations".[2]
Preparation
The resolution was drafted on 18 July, put into circulation on 19 July and agreed the next day.[1] Russia, a permanent member with a veto right, supported the resolution after negotiations led to some text changes, including terming the incident as "downing" of the aircraft instead of "shooting down".[3]
