Australia has held "very moving" talks with Dutch authorities pursuing justice for the murdered passengers and crew of downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong told reporters in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly the government would fight to ensure those responsible answered for their crime.
"I've just come from a very moving discussion with the Netherlands and other representatives of those nations involved in the joint investigation team into the downing of MH17 by the Russian Federation," Senator Wong said.
"We remain committed to pursuing truth, justice and accountability for those who lost their lives."
In June, three men involved in the downing of the flight were sanctioned by the government.
Australia has been working with the Netherlands and European Union to co-ordinate sanctions on the trio convicted by the District Court of The Hague in November 2022 for their contribution to the downing of MH17 and the murder of all 298 people on board, including 38 Australian citizens or residents.
The sanctions targeted Russian Sergey Dubinskiy and Ukrainian national Leonid Kharchenko, who were both found guilty in the court and sentenced to life in jail.
Australia also sanctioned Russian national Sergey Muchkaev, a colonel with the Russian Armed Forces.
Another convicted perpetrator, Igor Girkin, was sanctioned by Australia in 2014 for supporting separatist activity in eastern Ukraine.
