Abstract

The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) has made normative decisions as to the probative value of different categories of evidence and the manner in which the evidentiary record should be assessed. Defying expectations that the ECCC’s inquisitorial model would render it quite unique in relation to matters of evidence and proof, this article argues that many of the key epistemological debates witnessed before other international criminal tribunals have also seeped into the practice of the ECCC. Indeed, an analysis of its practice shows that there are several commonalities in approach between the ECCC and the principal contemporary international criminal tribunals on such key issues as whether the evaluation of evidence should be carried out in a piecemeal or a holistic manner, and the weight to be given to hearsay and other categories of evidence. Despite an enormously challenging fact-finding environment and inconsistencies in practice, the ECCC has developed an admirably thorough approach to the evaluation of evidence.

ECCC的证据和证明方法

摘要

柬埔寨法院特别法庭（ECCC）就不同类别的证据的证明价值和评估证据记录的方式做出了规范性决定。本文认为，ECCC的询问模式将使其在证据和证据方面非常独特，对此他辩解说，在其他国际刑事法庭之前见证的许多重要的认识论辩论也渗透到了ECCC的实践中。实际上，对其做法的分析表明，ECCC与当代主要国际刑事法庭在一些关键问题上存在着一些共同点，例如对证据的评估应该是零散的还是整体的，以及传闻证据和其他类别证据的权重。尽管事实调查环境充满挑战，实践中也存在不一致之处，但ECCC已开发出一种令人钦佩的彻底方法来评估证据。
