ICC 'in limbo' as chief prosecutor's fate uncertain ahead of member states assembly

The International Criminal Court's governing body is set to meet in The Hague with uncertainty still surrounding the future of the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, and the outcome of an outsourced investigation into an alleged sexual misconduct complaint against him.

The annual session of the Assembly of State Parties (ASP), which begins on Monday, comes after the ASP's bureau had previously said it expected a United Nations investigation into Khan to be completed by the end of October.

The delay – unacknowledged publicly by the ASP bureau or the UN's Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), which is conducting the probe – has left the court in a state of limbo. 

ICC: What is going to be discussed at the ASP?

ASP, for those familiar with the International Criminal Court, this is a code name that is not worth to explain. Similarly, the official and unofficial agenda is communicated under the table, or for the laborious ones in documents that need to be unearthed (here) on the Court’s website. Our partners and colleagues of Asymmetrical Haircuts are taking the risk here to disclose part of it, looking without fear at the perilous situation in which the Court finds itself today, with the help of their special guest, Danya Chaikel, representative of the FIDH.

This podcast has been published as part of a partnership between Justice Info and Asymmetrical Haircuts, a podcast on international justice produced from The Hague by journalists Janet Anderson and Stephanie van den Berg, who retain full control and independence over the contents of the podcast.
