A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has written to the president of the Assembly of States Parties, the governing body of the International Criminal Court (ICC), urging an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. The senators, including Lindsey Graham, Ben Cardin, and John Thune, express concerns that any actions by the ICC regarding arrest warrants for Israeli officials without a completed investigation into these allegations could undermine the Court's credibility. The letter highlights that Khan has allegedly sought arrest warrants for Israeli government officials illegally, raising further concerns.
