Dutch TV reporter Jeroen Akkermans is taking Russia to the European Court of Human Rights. Mr Akkermans is joining as a complainant in the case over the Russian attack on the Georgian city of Gori, one year ago.
The case was originally brought by relatives of Georgians who were killed in the attack. They are holding Russia accountable for the shooting.
In the incident, Dutch cameraman Stan Storimans was killed. He was on the scene with Mr Akkermans to report the Russian-Georgian border war for RTL television.
RTL has been saying all along that Russian forces used outlawed cluster munitions in the attack on Gori. The commercial tv station will air a documentary on Wednesday showing evidence supporting its claim.
