Appeals Chamber Decisions

Appeals Chamber decisions are rulings made by a higher court reviewing a case that was originally decided by a lower court. When a party believes the original decision was unfair or legally incorrect, they can ask the Appeals Chamber to examine the case. This chamber considers whether there were errors in applying the law or in the process. Its decisions can confirm, change, or overturn the original verdict or sentence. These rulings help ensure legal consistency and fairness, serving as a check on the initial judgment and maintaining the integrity of the justice system.
