True, but there was at least some evidence. I doubt they would just take the Reds and Blues saying "Oh yeah we dragged him off of a cliff over there and he died". They would probably check that there was actually some evidence.

That said, the UNSC haven't exactly been portrayed as being the most intelligent organisation in the world in RvB, so fuck it, I don't know.
