ICC Launches External Probe into Prosecutor Karim Khan Over Misconduct Claims

The investigation follows allegations of sexual misconduct, which Khan denies, as he continues his duties amid claims of a smear campaign.

The International Criminal Court's governing body has initiated an external investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan.
Khan has denied the allegations, which reportedly involve inappropriate behavior towards a female staff member in his office.
Despite the investigation, Khan will remain in his role, with deputy prosecutors handling matters related to the allegations.
The allegations surfaced amid Khan's high-profile work, including requests for arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders for alleged war crimes.
Khan and his lawyers suggest the allegations may be part of a misinformation campaign aimed at undermining the ICC's credibility.
