Digital reconstructions of crime scenes have been used more frequently in both domestic and international courts as technology becomes more developed and accessible to courtroom actors. Though digital reconstructions can be beneficial, especially in the context of international criminal law, as they allow judges to visit crime scenes which would otherwise be too expensive or dangerous to travel to in person, there are inherent risks which come with the use of this novel type of evidence in a court of law. This article explores some key considerations which arise if digital reconstructions are to be used in international criminal courts and tribunals, with an emphasis on the rights of the accused and effects on victims and witnesses. It argues that in order for fair trial standards to be upheld and for international courts to fulfil their roles not just as prosecutors of crimes, but as seekers of truth and reconciliation, digital reconstructions need to be approached with caution and analysed through a critical eye.

为什么看到的不应该总是相信

随着技术变得更加发达并且法庭行为者可以使用,犯罪现场的数字重建在国内和国际法庭上的使用越来越频繁。尽管数字重建可能是有益的,特别是在国际刑法的背景下,因为它们允许法官访问犯罪现场,否则这些现场将过于昂贵或危险而无法亲自前往,但使用这部小说也存在固有风险法庭上的证据类型。本文探讨了在国际刑事法院和法庭使用数字重建时出现的一些关键考虑因素,重点是被告的权利以及对受害者和证人的影响。
