Ukraine sues Iran for downing its jet

Iran is facing legal action at the International Court of Justice over the shooting down of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 in January 2020. The plane was hit by two missiles fired by a Revolutionary Guards air defence unit after it took off from Tehran. They accuse Iran of failing to take all practicable measures to prevent the downing of the plane, which happened during a time of high tension between Iran and the US. The countries want the court to order that Iran publicly acknowledges its “internationally wrongful acts”, apologise to the families and provide assurances that it will not happen again. How will ICC penalize Iran ?
