Suspects believed to have played a part in the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine in July 2014 will be tried in the Netherlands.
The decision was taken by a joint investigation team run by Australia, Belgium, Malaysia and the Netherlands after Russia blocked efforts to create an international tribunal.
All 298 people on board were killed when the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot out of the sky.
Separate inquiries by the Dutch Safety Board and the joint investigation (JIT) team have determined that the Boeing 777 was struck by a Russian-made missile.
The JIT claims the missile was fired by Russian-backed separatists from rebel-held territory, although it has not yet named or charged suspects.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson: "The UK offers its full support and cooperation towards the prosecution process, and I urge all other states to do the same as laid out in UN Security Council Resolution 2166.
"It is nearly three years since this terrible event and I thank the Joint Investigation Team for their painstaking work to deliver justice for the 298 people from 17 different countries, including 10 British nationals, who lost their lives that day."
