The International Criminal Court (ICC) is under intense scrutiny for its handling of a sexual misconduct complaint against Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. Middle East Eye (MEE) has revealed that the complainant was in contact with Margareta Kassangana, a vice president of the ICC’s governing body, the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), before the case was referred to the United Nations’ Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) for an external investigation. This unprecedented move has raised concerns about due process and Khan’s right to privacy. Kassangana’s involvement in discussions with the complainant prior to the investigation has further complicated the matter, casting doubts on the impartiality of the process. Meanwhile, another ASP member, Ugandan Ambassador Mirjam Blaak, has been accused of prejudicial conduct after a recording surfaced of her making inappropriate remarks about Khan’s accuser, suggesting his guilt was pre-determined. The Pan-African Business Forum (PABF) has called for an independent investigation into Blaak’s conduct, citing it as evidence of bias within the ASP. The ICC’s handling of the case has drawn widespread criticism, with former ICC judge Cuno Tarfusser expressing deep concern over the breach of confidentiality and the potential undermining of the court’s integrity. Khan, who has been on leave since May 2024, denies the allegations, and internal investigations were closed after the complainant refused to cooperate.
