"The judges have advised that the UN inquiry did not establish that Khan's conduct amounted to misconduct or a breach of his duties, criticizing the inquiry's methodology."
"Lawyers for Khan will argue that the panel's advice amounts to an exoneration, claiming it is a decisive and meticulously reasoned legal finding."
"Khan's fate will depend on how diplomats from the group of states view the conflicting evidence and whether they think the UN report findings warrant disciplinary action."
The ICC's governing body will assess a report from three judges regarding misconduct allegations against chief prosecutor Karim Khan. A UN inquiry previously established a factual basis for claims of sexual abuse against Khan. The judges' report concluded that the UN inquiry did not prove misconduct, criticizing its methodology for failing to resolve inconsistencies. The panel's legal analysis has sparked disagreement among ICC member states about its acceptance. Khan's lawyers argue the report exonerates him, but his future remains uncertain, pending diplomatic views on the evidence and potential disciplinary actions.
