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