Does every witness contacted during investigation appear before court?
When it comes to testifying, one must differentiate between two segments: the “investigation stage” and the “trial stage”. During the former, investigators will speak to numerous witnesses in an attempt to establish what happened. However, not all individuals interviewed during the preparation of a case will be called to testify in the courtroom. The prosecution and the defence will determine the most appropriate witnesses to appear before the judges. According to the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the ICTY, the judges also have the possibility to invite witnesses to the stand.
