ICC investigating its own prosecutor

International Criminal Court member states voted Wednesday to instigate disciplinary proceedings against Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Khan was placed on leave in May amid sexual misconduct allegations. Before the allegations became public, Khan had announced arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes. The baseless warrants were originally seen by many as a landmark decision, but scandals in the court have marred its credibility, another example of the international legal system’s failure to meet its lofty purpose.
