present the facts that substantiate them [their claims]
Eg. "In support of their claims, the onus is on the parties to present the facts that substantiate them."
There may be better words, but I'm fairly certain this is the sense. The reference of the "les" is the "prétentions", and the parties have the responsibility of putting forward the facts "suitable to" (propres à) grounding these claims.

A way of avoiding some of the awkwardness/redundancy would be: "The onus is on the parties to put forward the facts that support their claims."

Boils down to the burden - on plaintiff or defendant - vs. standard - balance of probabilities etc. - of proof. The spin, I feel, is bringing forward the evidence.

Tom Thumb says it so why not use it?
But I've joined the conversation late in the day and maybe there is a reason?
