ICC Faces Scrutiny Over Misconduct Allegations Against Chief Prosecutor

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is set to initiate an external investigation into allegations of misconduct involving its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. This decision comes amid fears of potential bias and political interference, particularly concerning ongoing war crime investigations against Israeli officials. Sources indicate that the probe will also address sexual misconduct accusations against Khan, which have prompted calls for a thorough review from various U.S. senators and other political figures. There are concerns that the timing of these allegations could influence the ICC’s decision-making, particularly against high-profile targets like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As the situation unfolds, the ICC faces significant pressure to maintain its integrity and navigate the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding its operations.
