USE OF ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE IN THE PROCESS OF PROVING DAMAGE CAUSED BY WAR CRIMES

The article analyzes the modern regulatory framework, which regulates the procedure for compensation for damage caused by war crimes, and judicial practice regarding the collection, evaluation and use of electronic (digital) evidence to confirm the existence of a real estate object, the fact of the task of destruction, etc. Special attention is paid to controversial issues regarding the use of radio technical intelligence data, information obtained from the Google Maps service, photographic materials, sound recordings, video recordings, and other media contained in open (Internet, various mass media, social networks) or closed networks (private messengers and telegram channels, personal correspondence using computer equipment and mobile phones, flash drives, memory cards, etc.).

It is argued that it is necessary to make additions to the current legislation on the use of the results of radio technical intelligence, to standardize the court order on access to technical means using a biometric key (password) based on the experience of the EU countries.

Key words: electronic evidence, property damaged as a result of hostilities, compensation for damage caused, war crimes.
