Abstract

Around the world, people are using their smartphones to document atrocities. This Article is the first to address the implications of this important development for international criminal law. While acknowledging the potential benefits such user-generated evidence could have for international criminal investigations, the Article identifies three categories of concern related to its use: (i) user security; (ii) evidentiary bias; and (iii) fair trial rights. In the absence of safeguards, user-generated evidence may address current problems in international criminal justice at the cost of creating new ones and shifting existing problems from traditional actors, who have institutional backing, to individual users without such protections.
用户生成的证据
在世界各地,人们都在用智能手机记录暴行。本条是第一条论述这一重要发展对国际刑法的影响。该条承认这种用户生成的证据可能为国际刑事调查带来潜在好处,但同时确定了与使用该证据有关的三类关切:(一)用户安全;二证据偏见;三公平审判权。在缺乏保障措施的情况下,用户生成的证据可能会解决国际刑事司法中当前的问题,代价是创造新的问题,并将现有问题从有机构支持的传统行为者转移到没有这种保护的个人用户。

期刊介绍: Over forty years] ago, under the guidance of the late Professor Wolfgang Friedmann, a group of Columbia law students belonging to the Columbia Society of International Law founded the Bulletin of the Columbia Society of International Law. The Bulletin’s first volume, containing two issues, was a forum for the informal discussion of international legal questions; the second volume, published in 1963 under the title International Law Bulletin, aspired more to the tradition of the scholarly law review. Today’s Columbia Journal of Transnational Law is heir to those early efforts.
