The International Criminal Court is preparing to issue what could be an important judgement in the case against Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto.
The appeals judges will announce whether testimonies given by witnesses who then changed their accounts can still be included as part of the prosecution's evidence.
More than 1,000 Kenyans were killed in the violence that followed the disputed presidential elections in 2007.
Both William Ruto and his co-accused, journalist Joshua arap Sang, deny charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Sixteen of the prosecution's key witnesses changed their original statements or simply refused to cooperate with the court.
The prosecutor argued that they changed their minds due to threats, intimidation, bribery or fear of reprisals.
