In the first place, we identified the standard of proof applied in judicial proceedings - The traditional environment is known to him - at the local level and at the level of the International Criminal Court, so as to provide a comprehensive perception of the standard of proof, and stand on the application of the standard of proof in the comparative environment.

Then, through the analysis of the reports of a selected group of investigation committees and fact-finding missions, including the Yugoslav Committee of Experts, the OHCHR Mission in Iraq 2014 and the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, so, we checked the standard of proof applicable to committee's practices.

It is also considered the most used, coherent when applied in most conditions.
