Abstract

The element of proof occupies a prominent place in all personal, civil and commercial relationships and fields, and is the primary means of obtaining rights and binding others to obligations. In practice, a right has no value when its owner is unable to prove it, since it is the proof of the act giving rise to the right that gives it full effectiveness. A right is deprived of its value if there is no evidence of its existence or of the incident or act that generated it, whether such incident or act is legal or material. In short, it is said "where there is no proof... No right. But the world's entry into the field of information technology, and the emergence of a global scientific revolution in the field of information transfer and exchange through electronic systems, the most important of which is the Internet, led to a change in the concept of proof according to the possibility of creating rights and obligations by electronic means, And often dispense with paper writing. The contemporary world is witnessing many conflicts that have not spared the Arab world and the Middle East, and one of the most prominent features of armed conflicts is gross violations of human rights - to life and the protection of physical integrity - and ICT and artificial intelligence technologies come to play a prominent role as evidence to prove some serious breakthroughs that the most prominent features of which are committed in the absence of prosecution witnesses in most cases, and since this evidence deduced from the mentioned technologies did not receive sufficient attention. From researchers and scholars, we have chosen to present its legal review to show the importance of proof and the extent of its validity and authority in proving the commission of crimes against victims of wars and conflicts. It goes without saying that the alleged divergence between civil law and the sections of international law did not prevent us from putting forward the idea of the study as previously explained, as all branches of law are studied - on the one hand - towards achieving justice, and the importance of studying interdisciplinary sciences in the era of artificial intelligence and the escalation of the role of information and communication technology in developing the rules of law in its various branches. The study will also be an area to highlight "international criminal and humanitarian law in the light of emerging technologies", especially as this topic is related to many sciences.
