UN investigators file report on misconduct allegations against ICC prosecutor

A United Nations-led inquiry into alleged misconduct by International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan has been finalized and submitted to the ICC's governing body. A panel of judicial experts will now review the report to advise whether the findings constitute misconduct, which could lead to Khan's suspension or removal by a majority vote of the member states. Khan, who has been on a voluntary leave of absence, strenuously denies the sexual misconduct allegations and does not intend to resign. The prolonged uncertainty over the prosecutor's future has raised concerns among diplomats about the court's ability to fulfill its mandate.
