Witnesses in the War Crimes Tribunal

Witnesses in a War Crimes Tribunal are individuals called to provide firsthand accounts or evidence about events related to alleged crimes. They may have seen the violations occur, been involved, or possess relevant documentation. Their testimony helps establish facts, assign responsibility, and ensure justice is served. Witnesses are crucial in helping a tribunal understand what happened, enabling fair judgments based on credible, detailed accounts. Their cooperation can be voluntary or compelled, and their statements are evaluated carefully within a legal framework to maintain fairness and accuracy in the pursuit of justice.
