Abstract:There are advantages for evidences gathering by satellite remote sensing data compared with traditional evidences, which are frequently used in recent years by the international and domestic court dispute parties as evidences. Courts attitudes are divided on the question of whether or not to admit satellite remote sensing data as evidence. The International Court of Justice in cases concerning territorial sovereignty disputes is more conserved, while the International Criminal Court (ICC), the European Court of Justice and some of domestic courts, in relation to specific items, are more positive and active. Reasons are related with characteristics of satellite remote sensing data itself, which is it has unparalleled advantages, meanwhile as evidence there are still problems such as privacy protection, the protection of intellectual property rights, availability of data and expert testimony authenticity. The whole issue embodies promotive relationship and contradiction between science and technology. There is still blank in this area for international community legislation, resulting in conflicts in regional and international practices.
