Abstract

On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 operating the route was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport. All 176 passengers and crew died. The shoot-down occurred five days after U.S. President, Donald Trump, launched a drone strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. The Iranian government initially denied responsibility for the airplane's destruction, but investigations revealed that the aircraft was shot down by a surface-to-air missile launched by Iran. The purpose of this summary is to address Role of Due Diligence Principle in Prevention of Air Accidents as such Ukrainian International Airlines Flight (752). It seems that by shot down of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight (752) Iran has violated its international obligations, as such the due diligence principle as a general principle of law, and consequently bear international responsibility.
