Summary
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is conducting an external investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. The move follows a short-lived internal inquiry. Khan denies the allegations and will continue his role amid scrutiny as he pursues charges related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. A three-judge panel is also considering his request for arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The external investigation seeks to ensure an independent review of the allegations, which Khan claims are part of a smear campaign against him and the ICC, especially during sensitive political times.
