An internal ICC report cited by Israeli media describes Karim Khan's behavior escalating to non-consensual sexual contact in his office, home, and on work trips. The 125 member states will vote on his dismissal on July 24.
A newly cited internal report from the International Criminal Court (ICC) details alleged non-consensual sexual conduct by chief prosecutor Karim Khan, with the 125 member states scheduled to vote on his dismissal on July 24. The document, reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) quoting its findings, states that Khan's behavior "escalated over time and led to non-consensual sexual contact in his office, his private home, and during work trips." The vote date was set following the executive board's recommendation to remove him, as reported earlier today.
This development follows The Zioneer's reporting earlier today (Wed 15:28 Jerusalem) that the ICC's executive board had recommended removing Khan after an internal probe found he managed a "sexual relationship" with a female employee who filed a complaint. Prior to that, the desk reported on June 9 that the executive bureau had suspended Khan after an 18-month probe ruling "serious misconduct," and on June 18 that the board had recommended removal with a vote scheduled for July 24 — a timeline now confirmed by today's report.
The current report adds specific locations of alleged contact drawn from the internal investigation. The initial suspension (June 9) was based on a single channel; by June 18, Reuters corroborated the removal recommendation; today's reporting adds further detail from an N12 citation of the internal document.
The full report has not been publicly released by the ICC. Khan has not been convicted or dismissed; the allegations remain accusations pending the member-state vote.
