In June, Khan was suspended for physically assaulting one of his staffers, who had credibly accused him of a pattern of rapidly escalating physical sexual harassment.
On Friday, word came that the United Nations investigation had concluded that the accuser's credibility had been established, that there had been no personal gain for her - in point of fact, her personal mental state and career suffered severely for the abuse, that Khan had retaliated against other court employees who had reported his harassment, and that Khan's actions were detrimental to the court and not in keeping with a position that demanded the highest level of integrity and moral character.

They left the chief prosecutor spinning in the wind, and his fate will be decided at a July 24th meeting of the ICC member states, who will vote on whether he stays or goes.

This morning, there was this cryptic but forceful denunciation of the ICC from our incredible Secretary of State, which, thanks to its complete dismissal of any legitimacy of said court in the most brutal AMERICAN terms ever, had bald eagles screaming in rapture across the country.
This, ladies and gentlemen, my fellow Americans, is how 'national sovereignty' is defined and how boundaries and limits are set... game, set, match.
...QuoteAmerica never agreed to a world tribunal that can override our own courts and the Constitution.
...The ICC was born at the turn of the century. At first, it was marketed as a narrow backstop to prosecute the gravest crimes. Now the ICC and its allies seek a standing world tribunal with near-unlimited reach, empowered to override the courts and constitutions of the U.S. and other sovereign states—and to prosecute and arrest our citizens.
Americans never agreed to any of this. Both of our major political parties opposed the prospect of handing a distant global court the power to prosecute and jail our own citizens. President Clinton refused to submit the Rome Statute (the ICC’s founding charter) to the Senate for ratification due to his “concerns about significant flaws in the Treaty.” Two years later, a bipartisan Senate supermajority passed the American Servicemembers’ Protection Act, authorizing the president “to use all means necessary”—including military force—to prevent the ICC from detaining or arresting Americans.
Americans found themselves in the crosshairs anyway: In 2020 the ICC launched an investigation into what chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda of Gambia described as “war crimes by members of the United States armed forces” in Afghanistan, declaring that the U.S. government hadn’t prosecuted enough American soldiers to satisfy the court. In effect, Ms. Bensouda was anointing herself the final judge of U.S. military policy and the entire U.S. justice system.
The Afghanistan investigation was only the opening move in the assault against American self-government. The ICC is backed and run by a powerful network of leftist nongovernment organizations, smug globalists, and hostile Third World governments united by their enmity toward the U.S.
The ICC needs to be erased.
