<p>The Metropolitan Police Service’s approach to overseas acts of terror where there
are UK victims is that the crimes are usually best prosecuted by the national authorities
where the attack occurred. However, while the UK is not part of the MH17 JIT, the
Metropolitan Police Service has provided operational support to the JIT including
direct liaison officer support and extensive victim identification support.</p><p>The
Government cannot comment on the current investigation into the downing of MH17 and
the establishment of a tribunal in the Netherlands, as we are unable to comment on
ongoing investigations.</p>
