British ICC chief ‘used Gaza to silence sexual assault accuser’: Report

The sexual misconduct and intimidation allegations against ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan have prompted an investigation led by the United Nations' internal audit and oversight body, beginning on April 29, 2024.
The allegations arose after a Malaysian female staffer accused Khan of multiple assaults across several countries while initially hesitating to report due to fear and job concerns.
In parallel, Khan pursued controversial arrest warrants against Israeli officials Netanyahu and Gallant related to Gaza war crimes amid tensions with the United States and Israel.
Khan allegedly pressured the accuser to drop her claims, warning that pursuing them would harm 'the justice of the victims' and linking them to the Palestinian arrest warrants.
The investigation's outcome could significantly affect the ICC's credibility, with any removal of Khan requiring a majority vote among its 125 member states amid strong external political challenges.
