STATEMENT

 * Media release

05 October 2018

Australiacondemns the cyber operations attributed to Russia against the
Organisation forthe Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and against Malaysian
locationsparticipating in the Flight MH-17 investigation as revealed by Dutch
and UKauthorities overnight.

Suchactions by Russia, an OPCW Member State and a Permanent Member of the
UNSecurity Council, undermine global integrity and trust in the arms control
andverification framework, which plays a critical role in promoting and
assuringthe global prohibition against any use of chemical weapons.

Likewise,any actions intended to compromise or undermine the integrity of the
JointInvestigation Team's authorised and legitimate investigation into the
destructionof Flight MH-17, which resulted in the death of all aboard the
flight, areunacceptable.

Theseattributions raise questions about Russia's credibility in wanting to
genuinelyresolve the issues surrounding what happened to Flight MH-17.

Australiajoins other nations in calling on Russia to strongly affirm its
commitment toacting as a reliable party to the investigation and subsequent
resolution ofthe matter.

Theevents of the last 48 hours demonstrate the resolve of the
internationalcommunity – including Australia – to uphold the international
rules-based orderin the online world, just as we do elsewhere.
