Article 83
Proceedings on appeal
1. For the purposes of proceedings under article 81 and this article, the
Appeals Chamber shall have all the powers of the Trial Chamber.
2. If the Appeals Chamber finds that the proceedings appealed from were
unfair in a way that affected the reliability of the decision or sentence, or
that the decision or sentence appealed from was materially affected by
error of fact or law or procedural error, it may:
(a) Reverse or amend the decision or sentence; or
(b) Order a new trial before a different Trial Chamber.
For these purposes, the Appeals Chamber may remand a factual issue to
the original Trial Chamber for it to determine the issue and to report back
accordingly, or may itself call evidence to determine the issue. When the
decision or sentence has been appealed only by the person convicted, or
the Prosecutor on that person’s behalf, it cannot be amended to his or her
detriment.
3. If in an appeal against sentence the Appeals Chamber finds that the
sentence is disproportionate to the crime, it may vary the sentence in
accordance with Part 7.
4. The judgement of the Appeals Chamber shall be taken by a majority of
the judges and shall be delivered in open court. The judgement shall state
the reasons on which it is based. When there is no unanimity, the
judgement of the Appeals Chamber shall contain the views of the majority
and the minority, but a judge may deliver a separate or dissenting opinion
on a question of law.
