Abstract
Disclosure of evidences to the accused is one of his defensive right
components. Criminal Justice requires that the position of the accused in the
criminal justice system be upgraded to the extent that he could defend himself.
The accused is not entitled to use the facilities for collecting and presenting
evidences for his acquittal charges after his arrest. In international criminal
trials it is the duty of the Prosecutor, so that, in addition to other obligations, he
may collect and disclose the evidences in favor of the accused. Although the
International Criminal Court's Statute and Rules of Procedure and Evidence are
innovative with regard to the evidences disclosure to the accused, but this
disclosure is inconsistent with the protection of witnesses and victims, the
confidentiality of reasons and prolongation of proceedings
