Overview
- Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera, citing diplomatic sources, report that a three-judge panel unanimously found the OIOS fact-finding did not establish misconduct or a breach of duty.
- The panel submitted its confidential advice to the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties on 9 March, and the document has not been released or widely shared with member states.
- An internal memo reviewed by Reuters from ASP President Paivi Kaukoranta told ICC staff the disciplinary process remains ongoing and that no decisions have been taken.
- Under ICC procedures, the bureau has 30 days for a preliminary assessment, Khan then has 30 days to respond, and the bureau has another 30 days to decide whether to close the inquiry.
- Khan has denied the allegations, took voluntary leave in May with deputy prosecutors running his office, and the claims unfolded as his team pursued high-profile cases related to Gaza and Ukraine.
