US EditionICC moves ahead with disciplinary proceedings against chief prosecutor Khan, WSJ reports
The 15-2-4 vote follows reports that UN investigators found a factual basis for sexual misconduct allegations against Karim Khan.
- On Wednesday, International Criminal Court member states voted to pursue disciplinary proceedings against Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following reports of sexual assault allegations against him.
- A United Nations report found a "factual basis" for the allegations, though three judges analyzing it determined the evidence insufficient to prove claims "beyond a reasonable doubt."
- During the Wednesday vote by a core group of member states, 15 representatives voted in favor of continuing proceedings, while Khan remains on leave pending the inquiry's outcome.
- African states argued the proceedings should end, claiming judges had already exonerated Khan after concluding that "factual findings do not establish misconduct or breach of duty."
- The ICC, comprising 125 member states, faces mounting institutional pressure amid investigations into Khan and sanctions imposed over Israeli officials' alleged war crimes.
