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

In an international court, the types of documents that can be used as evidence are far-reaching. These documents may include written agreements, contracts, or correspondence including emails, letters, and memos between the parties. Legal documents such as decisions or judgements from other courts, legislative documents, and other forms of public or private documents (such as records from corporations, associations, banks, or other organizations) can also be used. Witness statements, expert opinions, and reports are all accepted in some form as evidence. Physical objects can also be used as evidence, such as weapons, artifacts, or photographs. In some cases, video and audio recordings, and even electronic records including data, computer programs, and other digital material can also be used as evidence in an international court. Parties can also submit evidence in the form of affidavits, statements, or other testimony from witnesses. No matter what type of evidence is presented, it must meet the admissibility criteria set by the court, such as being relevant and material to the dispute. It must also be something that can be authenticated and verified as to its source. This is important in order to protect the court from accepting any unreliable, false, or fabricated evidence.
