Geospatial technologies - particularly satellite imagery - can provide detailed insights into crimes committed in conflict areas that are otherwise difficult or impossible to investigate. Numerous international criminal cases have featured this digital evidence, helping to secure accountability for atrocities. As with any form of evidence in a criminal trial, certain legal standards must be met. Evidence must be shown to be authentic (verifiable and unaltered) and reliable (accurate and dependable) - otherwise judges will refuse to admit it. Meeting these standards for digital evidence requires communication between lawyers and technologists. Lawyers must explain legal requirements for evidence; technologists must clarify what their systems can deliver and how technical processes ensure data integrity and accuracy. This keynote will advance this communication by outlining core principles for maximising the evidentiary value of geospatial data. By keeping these principles in mind, those working in the collection and processing of geospatial data, or in the development of geospatial technologies, can help ensure that today’s data meets tomorrow's courtroom standards. The objective is to identify what makes data more valuable as evidence and translate this into practical technical requirements.
