ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan has rejected recent sexual misconduct allegations, calling for an investigation by the Independent Oversight Mechanism (IOM) and a review into possible “disinformation.” The claims, reportedly involving unwanted advances towards a female lawyer, have surfaced amid his push for arrest warrants related to Gaza conflict war crimes. ICC Assembly President Paivi Kaukoranta confirmed the IOM’s initial contact with the alleged victim, though an investigation has not yet begun. Khan expressed sadness over the public nature of the accusations, stressing his commitment to the ICC’s zero-tolerance policy on harassment as critics warn of potential politicization in the court’s processes.
