Afrasianet - Western media quoted sources as saying that the governing body of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will launch an external investigation into prosecutor Karim Khan over allegations of harassment.
These charges did not emerge until after Khan demanded arrest warrants against Zionist leaders, confirming that this court was created on the analogy of the hypocritical West, which falsely claims to be the guardian of human rights in the world.
According to Reuters, an agreement on an external investigation was reached on Thursday at the ICC's Assembly of States Parties, but it is not known who will conduct it.
According to the agency, Khan denied allegations of misconduct a month ago, and court officials were informed of them. He then asked the court's internal body to conduct an investigation.
A document, circulated among member states, called on the prosecutor to resign during the investigation. In early November, some U.S. senators called for an investigation into the ICC prosecutor's activities.
On October 20, the British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Karim Khan, is accused of acting inappropriately against a female employee.
About two months ago, Khan asked for speedy processing of arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas officials, and Khan urged judges looking into arrest warrants for Israeli officials and Hamas leaders to make their decision quickly and without delay.
Khan also revealed that he is under pressure from heads of state not to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant.
In an interview with the BBC on Friday, the ICC prosecutor said he had seen the evidence on which the decision to issue the warrant was based in response to those who criticized him for his request. He noted that the court should request arrest warrants for both the leaders of Israel and Hamas to ensure that people around the world see the court applying the law "equally on the basis of some common criteria."
Khan stressed that NATO-backed countries, European countries or powerful countries should be treated differently from non-supported countries, explaining that he was pressured by some world leaders not to issue an arrest warrant, saying: "Many leaders and others told me, advised and warned me," and the attorney general welcomed the withdrawal of the new British government's objection to a request to issue an arrest warrant against Netanyahu.
Khan announced in May that he had asked the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Galant on several charges, including crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.
