Insider witnesses and international criminal justice: Empirical analysis
Investigating and prosecuting individuals responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide relies heavily upon witness testimony.

They bring the critical evidence linking high(er) level perpetrators to the crimes committed on the ground. The reliance upon or dismissal of insider witness testimony can make or break the case.
