What types of documents can be used as evidence in an international court?

Evidence used in an international court can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but typically documents referred to as “real evidence” or “documentary evidence” are used. Documents such as contracts, test results, reports and accounts, photographs, and graphs are all forms of real evidence that can be used in international court proceedings. Real evidence is any physical item that is presented by a witness that can be examined and inspected by the court. Other types of evidence that can be used in international court proceedings include intangible documents. These include affidavits, declarations, witness statements, and depositions. Affidavits and declarations are documents sworn or affirmed under oath that can be used to provide information about disputes and facts relevant to the case. Witness statements are summaries of witness testimony that can be used as evidence to prove or disprove a fact or element. Depositions are statements made under oath by a person knowledgeable about the facts of the case. In Alaska, international litigation law follows the Uniform Foreign-Country Money Judgments Recognition Act. This act allows for the recognition and enforcement of money judgments rendered in a foreign country. This includes judgments based on documents, such as real evidence, intangible documents, and court orders. In addition, this act allows for the recognition and enforcement of money judgments rendered in an international court.
