CANADA APPEALS TO THE UN FOR DELAYS IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE UKRAINIAN AIRLINER SHOT DOWN BY IRGC
At Canada’s request, the UN agency nudges Iran over delayed analysis of Flight PS752’s black boxes. Canada doesn’t believe the Iranian regime has the expertise to study the flight data recorders.
The United Nations agency for civilian aviation is sending a letter to Iran after Canada asked it to press Iranian investigators into swiftly analyzing the contents of Flight PS752’s black boxes — or turn the flight recorders over to a country that can.
Canadian Transport Minister, Marc Garneau, told reporters that he met with the president of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to talk about the delay in completing the black-box analysis.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stressed that an independent, robust aviation investigation analyzes the black boxes as quickly as possible.
Trudeau said it’s “extremely worrying” that Iran is trying to analyze the flight recorders itself when it lacks the technical resources to do so.
