Article VII

The tribunals shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. They

shall adopt and apply to the greatest possible extent expeditious and

non-technical procedure, and shall admit any evidence which they deem to

have probative value. Without limiting the foregoing general rules, the

following shall be deemed admissible if they appear to the tribunal to

contain information of probative value relating to the charges:

affidavits, depositions, interrogations, and other statements, diaries,

letters, the records, findings, statements and judgments of the military

tribunals and the reviewing and confirming authorities of any of the

United Nations, and copies of any document or other secondary evidence

of the contents of any document, if the original is not readily

available or cannot be produced without delay. The tribunal shall afford

the opposing party such opportunity to question the authenticity or

probative value of such evidence as in the opinion of the tribunal the

ends of justice require.
