London —
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is under intense scrutiny as member countries prepare to vote this month on whether to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.
For months, the United Nations watchdog has investigated claims made by a female ICC employee who worked as a direct assistant to Khan. According to a confidential, leaked copy of a UN investigative report that CNN obtained, she alleged that he sexually harassed her and repeatedly subjected her to non-consensual sexual acts, including groping, attempted kissing and digital and genital penetration. Khan has repeatedly denied those claims.
