"Artificial Intelligence in Evidence Collection and Proving International Crimes: Within the Context of International Criminal Court Proceedings"

Abstract

This research examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in gathering evidence and proving international crimes within the framework of the International Criminal Court (ICC), given the rapid development of digital technologies and their increasing reliance in international criminal investigations. The research aims to clarify the conceptual and legal framework of AI and analyze its contribution to gathering evidence related to war crimes and crimes against humanity, particularly digital evidence such as images, videos, and satellite data. It also discusses the admissibility of evidence derived from AI technologies before the ICC and its compatibility with the principles of criminal evidence and guarantees of a fair trial. The research addresses the most prominent legal and ethical challenges associated with the use of these technologies, such as transparency issues, algorithmic bias, and the determination of legal responsibility. The research concludes with the necessity of establishing a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework that ensures the responsible and effective use of AI in a way that serves international criminal justice and protects human rights.
