The International Criminal Court (ICC) has initiated an external investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. Following a request for an inquiry, Khan denies the claims, including unwanted sexual touching, while stating he will continue his duties during the investigation. The decision for an external probe stems from concerns about the ICC’s Independent Oversight Mechanism’s capability. This scrutiny coincides with Khan’s recent request for arrest warrants related to ongoing conflicts in Gaza, highlighting increased tensions surrounding his position and the court’s operations.
