ICC prosecutor accused of harassing female coworker

2024-10-21

[IsraelNationalNews] International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Kahn,

…more formally Karim Asad Ahmad Khan KC, thenkyooveddymuch, whose place of birth depends on who is telling the story…

who is seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, has been accused of harassing a female co-worker, the Daily Mail reported.

…even though his current wife is a datin, a Malaysian duchess, as well as a lawyer in her own right? The man plays with fire!

The Mail's investigation found that the accusations were made in the weeks before Khan announced that he was seeking to arrest Israel's leaders. A female ICC official told a colleague of the harassment she allegedly was subjected to, and the colleague reported the incident to the ICC's senior managers.

The Independent Oversight Mechanism (IOM) questioned the woman, who decided not to file a formal complaint against Khan. The IOM did not open a full investigation and made several recommendations to "safeguard everyone's rights."

Khan denied the report, saying that he and the ICC are facing "a wide range of attacks and threats."

He claimed, "I absolutely can confirm there is no truth to suggestions of misconduct."

Paivi Kaukoranta, President of the Assembly of States Parties, the group that oversees the ICC, confirmed in a statement that the accusations were made by a co-worker against Khan.

'Following the conversation with the alleged victim, the IOM was not in a position to proceed with an investigation at that stage," Kaukoranta said. "The Court has a zero-tolerance policy towards prohibited conduct, such as harassment, including sexual harassment, discrimination and abuse of authority. Any reports of misconduct are taken very seriously, with full respect for the presumption of innocence, as well as the duty of care towards ICC personnel."
Well, at least, Karim isn't after children like his brother.
