The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, is facing allegations of sexual misconduct from his staff, prompting calls for an external independent investigation. Despite Khan requesting an internal inquiry, concerns about its impartiality persist.
Staff at the ICC are apprehensive about an internal investigation into allegations against Karim Khan, fearing retaliation and a potential conflict of interest since the head of the inquiry is currently employed by him.
As the ICC is at a critical juncture regarding prosecution decisions, the unfolding crisis not only jeopardizes internal trust but may also be manipulated by opponents of the court amidst ongoing war crime investigations.
Karim Khan, who has held the prosecutor position since 2021, has initiated a strategy to navigate the allegations while his advisory team seeks to maintain the integrity of the court during this unprecedented situation.
