ICC Launches External Investigation into Chief Prosecutor Misconduct Allegations
TL;DR Summary
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has launched an external investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, who denies the accusations and will continue his duties during the probe. The investigation follows media reports and a formal complaint by a female lawyer, who criticized the ICC's internal watchdog's competence. The ICC's governing body opted for an external investigation to ensure impartiality. This development comes amid scrutiny of Khan's recent request for arrest warrants related to the Gaza conflict, although the misconduct allegations predate this request.
