The Ombudsperson evaluates petitions based on original listing criteria, so effective evidence directly contradicts the stated grounds for designation. Documentary proof of mistaken identity (biometric data, passport records, alibis), evidence of death, or materials demonstrating fundamental factual errors in the listing narrative carry significant weight. Sworn witness statements, court judgments from national proceedings, and expert reports on changed circumstances are also persuasive. Critically, the Ombudsperson can access classified intelligence underlying the listing — your petition should anticipate and address likely confidential allegations even when not explicitly stated in public documents.
