ICC files applications for arrest warrants for PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant
, multiple ICC staff claimed Khan and an ally at the court repeatedly pushed the woman to recant her statements to protect his reputation,The British-appointed prosecutor and another ICC official, who was not named, allegedly spoke to the woman in person and over the phone about the case after Khan learned of the internal probe against him, four sources with knowledge of the investigation told the UK outlet.
While the woman has declined to discuss the case with reporters, people close to her say her decision to drop the case was driven by a distrust of the ICC and its internal watchdog group.The International Criminal Court is a global court established in 2002 with the power to prosecute the gravest crimes of concern to the international community, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.
Other sexual misconduct incidents with Khan, including one where he allegedly pressed his tongue on her ear, ultimately left the woman traumatized and “experiencing severe emotional distress,” current and former ICC staffers told the Guardian.
