That's just motivated reasoning. The UN is multidisciplinary. If you have a better source, present it.
Even if the true numbers are a quarter of the given figure that's still way too high.

the fact there isn’t a better source does not make the only source reliable.
This is going to be a major issue when the actual court case will have to rely upon it.
the numbers will always be ‘too high’ as they are the number of civilian deaths in a war.
However, if they are much lower relative to similar conflicts than that changes a lot. Currently we have no way of knowing that, yet still people attribute these numbers some magical properties
The precise number doesn't matter if it would be unacceptable at an order of magnitude lower.
