In the Ongwen judgment, the International Criminal Court (icc) deemed ‘highly probative evidence’ the Lord’s Resistance Army radio communications intercepted. However, the Defence had argued that it was unreliable evidence for several reasons. After considering the definition and regulatory framework governing the admission and assessment of documentary evidence at the icc and retracing the road intercept evidence made from Uganda to the Ongwen trial, the article will analyse the issues posed by intercept evidence, including some of the challenges the Defence raised against their reliability. The objective is to call attention to the overlooked concerns the interception of communications during the period to which the charges refer may give rise to at the icc, in particular, in terms of reliability. The article argues that intercepted communications’ peculiar weaknesses require specific attention. As a consequence, their reliability and weight should be assessed with circumspection in the overall evidentiary context.

Ongwen 案中的截获通信:国际刑事法院书面证据的经验教训

Ongwen 的判决中,国际刑事法院 ( icc ) 认为上帝抵抗军的无线电通讯被截获是“高度证明性的证据”。然而,辩方辩称,出于多种原因,这是不可靠的证据。在考虑了在国际刑事法院接受和评估书面证据的定义和监管框架并追溯了从乌干达到Ongwen的道路拦截证据之后审判期间,本文将分析截取证据所带来的问题,包括辩方对其可靠性提出的一些挑战。目的是提请注意在指控所指的期间可能在国际刑事法院引起的通信拦截被忽视的问题,特别是在可靠性方面。文章认为,拦截通信的特殊弱点需要特别注意。因此,应在整体证据背景下谨慎评估其可靠性和权重。
