This book provides practitioners, scholars and students with an in-depth analysis of the law of evidence before international criminal tribunals. It treats subjects such as admissibility; hearsay; identification evidence; forensic and documentary evidence. It also discusses procedural issues arising from fair trial rights, state cooperation, witness protection, and the compulsive powers of the court. The main focus of this work is the practice of the United Nations ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. However, it traces the developments of the law of evidence back to the trials conducted by the Allied powers after the Second World War. The authors also discuss the future of the law in this field, with comments on the projected implementation of the Statute and the Rules of Procedure of the permanent International Criminal Court. They conclude with some general remarks on trends in international criminal evidence that will be helpful to international tribunals, "mixed" tribunals (such as those proposed for Sierra Leone and Cambodia), and national courts alike. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

La naissance des juridictions internationales pénales a stimulé les recherches portant sur la preuve en raison de leur caractère novateur et hybride. La création de la Cour pénale internationale a exacerbé les interrogations sur la preuve du fait du compromis difficile et ambigu consenti par les États. Élément fondamental du procès, la preuve se définit comme le moyen et l'opération destinés à convaincre le juge de l'exactitude d'une affirmation factuelle. Les travaux de recherche se concentrent essentiel-lement sur la collecte des preuves et sur leur admissibilité. Très peu d'études concernent l'appréciation des preuves, alors que c'est le coeur du travail judiciaire. L'étude de cette thématique devant la Cour pénale internationale s'avère particulièrement pertinente eu égard à son système sui generis. La détermination du cadre juridique relative à l'évaluation probatoire n'est pas aisée, et nécessite de conjuguer les textes juridiques de la Cour avec sa jurisprudence diffuse. Dès lors, il s'est avéré indispensable d'identifier le cadre juridique général de l'appréciation des preuves. Celui-ci demeure incertain à cause du système hybride de la Cour et des règles composites propres à l'appréciation des preuves. Le raisonnement adopté par les juges pour évaluer les preuves ne permet pas de combler ces incertitudes, que ce soit à travers la définition des standards de preuve ou les méthodes employées pour évaluer concrètement toutes les preuves. En définitive, ni le Statut ni la jurisprudence ne garantissent une sécurité juridique effective dans le cadre de l'appréciation des preuves. Toutefois, la souplesse inhérente à cette dernière justifie ces lacunes sans porter une atteinte grave au droit à un procès équitable.

Domestic lawyers are, above all, officers of the court. By contrast, the public international lawyer representing states before international tribunals is torn between loyalties to the state and loyalties to international law. As the stakes increase for the state concerned, the tension between these loyalties can become acute and lead to practices that would be condemned in developed national legal systems but have hitherto been ignored by international tribunals in international legal scholarship. They are the 'dirty stories' of international law. This detailed and contextually sensitive presentation of eight important cases before a variety of public international tribunals dissects some of the reasons for the resort to fraudulent evidence in international litigation and the profession's baffling reaction. Fraudulent evidence is resorted to out of greed, moral mediocrity or inherent dishonesty. In public international litigation, by contrast, the reasons are often more complex, with roots in the dynamics of international politics.
