Khan faces historic removal vote as critics warn ICC process has been politicised
Khan faces historic removal vote as critics warn ICC process has been politicised Submitted by Sondos Asem on Tue, 07/21/2026 - 17:41 ICC states set to vote on Karim Khan’s removal over misconduct claims Chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Khan poses for a picture at the ICC headquarters in The Hague on 27 May 2022 (John Thys/AFP) Off Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are set to gather at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Friday for a controversial vote which could see the court's chief prosecutor Karim Khan dismissed from his job over alleged misconduct claims. It will be the first time in the ICC's 24-year history that member states have been asked to decide whether to remove a sitting chief prosecutor from office. The Assembly of States Parties (ASP), the court’s governing body that is made up of its 125 members, will vote by secret ballot requiring an absolute majority of 63 states to remove the prosecutor. Khan’s lawyers said they have been denied accreditation to attend Friday’s session and to mount a defence prior to the vote. They added that the president of the ASP “has closed every formal channel” through which they can address the assembly, and has asked all state parties not to meet with the legal team. "The right under the rules to address you on the substantive decision of misconduct has been flatly denied to us," Khan’s lawyers, Tayab Ali and Sareta Ashraph, wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “We know of no court or tribunal in any proper and fair legal system that bars a person facing the gravest professional sanction from being heard,” they added. 'We know of no court or tribunal in any proper and fair legal system that bars a person facing the gravest professional sanction from being heard' - Karim Khan's lawyers The vote result is expected to be announced to the public by the end of the day. Member states are set to vote on the finding by the ASP bureau last month that Khan "engaged in a sexual relationship" with the complainant, which was considered to be inappropriate given the “power imbalance” between them. However, the bureau’s decision of 8 June appears to reframe the nature of Khan’s alleged sexual misconduct. Khan has denied the existence of any sexual relationship, while the complainant's account centred on allegations of non-consensual conduct. In an interview with CNN last week, which was her first public appearance in connection with the case, the complainant, a member of Khan’s office staff who CNN identified as “Sarah”, stood by the allegation of non-consensual sexual conduct. These allegations, details of which had previously been leaked to the media, were the main focus of a lengthy external investigation conducted by the United Nations’ Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS). The investigation also looked into three allegations of retaliation by Khan against members of his office. The OIOS report was then reviewed by a three-judge panel which concluded it had failed to establish any “misconduct or breach of duty under the relevant framework". The bureau has not made a finding of misconduct against Khan related to any of the retaliation allegations. Friday's vote comes shortly following extraordinary threats by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Washington would "dismantle the ICC - brick by brick, if necessary," while most of the court’s judges and prosecutors, including Khan, have been sanctioned by the US over their work on the Palestine and Afghanistan war crimes investigations. Former UN oversight chief says ICC prosecutor Karim Khan is ‘victim of massive stitch-up’ Read More » The disciplinary process against Khan emerged in the wake of his decision to seek arrest warrants over two years ago for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, along with three Hamas leaders, over alleged war crimes committed during the war in Gaza since October 2023. The vote also comes amid continuing questions and criticism about the ASP Bureau's handling of the investigation, particularly over concerns that the process has been “politicised” after the opinion of the judges’ panel, which unanimously found that no wrongdoing had been established, was disregarded by bureau member states. More than 160 Palestinian civil society organisations and rights groups signed a statement last week arguing that the disciplinary process "has been reduced to a political referendum following the national interests of individual States Parties". On Saturday, MEE reported comments by Josep Borrell, the former EU foreign policy chief, who accused the ASP of holding a "political vote" to remove Khan instead of upholding judicial findings that cleared him of wrongdoing. Borrell argued that the Khan case is "part of a larger offensive against the ICC", citing the US sanctions and threats targeting Khan and other officials following his decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders in May 2024. How did we get there? The complaint against Khan included allegations of sexual assault on a number of occasions, including on overseas missions and at The Hague, where the court is based. According to the complaint, the alleged abuse began in March 2023 and continued for nearly a year. The allegations were first revealed to Khan in person by members of his team on 2 May 2024. An internal investigation by the ICC’s own investigative body, the Internal Oversight Mechanism (IOM), was opened and closed in the following week, as the complainant refused to cooperate. Later in the same month, Khan officially sought arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, and three Hamas officials. A number of media reports at the time suggested that Khan sought arrest warrants on 20 May that year to win support in the context of allegations against him. Exclusive: ICC shuns US demands to drop Israel war crimes probe and amend treaty Read More » But, according to an MEE investigation, the prosecutor’s decision to apply for warrants was made six weeks before the allegations were made, and the application for the warrants was submitted only after the first internal investigation into the harassment accusations had been opened and closed. Allegations against Khan resurfaced on social media and in the media in October 2024. A second IOM investigation was opened and closed in November, but the complainant again refused to cooperate, prompting the ASP to commission an outsourced investigation by the OIOS. For more than a year, UN investigators were tasked with gathering and weighing evidence against Khan to enable the panel of judges appointed by the bureau to provide authoritative legal advice on whether the prosecutor had committed misconduct, applying the standard of proof "beyond reasonable doubt". On 11 December, they submitted their 150-page report and 5,000 pages of evidence to the panel. The judges then spent nearly three months examining the OIOS probe before reaching their conclusion in March. In a report seen by MEE, the panel concluded unanimously that the facts presented in the UN investigation "do not establish misconduct or breach of duty under the relevant framework". But a few weeks after the judges' panel report, a majority of bureau members backed a motion to disregard it, suggesting that Khan may have committed misconduct. The vote prompted concerns that the process could be politicised . After giving Khan and the complainants a final opportunity to make further submissions, the bureau then moved to formally suspend him two months later and referred the matter to the ASP. Lowering threshold for removal The removal vote is based on a process that departs from the court’s own rules. MEE reported this month that the ASP bureau has changed the voting process to lower the threshold for Khan’s removal, from a two-stage vote - in which members would vote separately on whether Khan had committed misconduct and whether he should be removed from his job - to a single vote. Under the new process, member states are asked to cast their votes on a single motion approving both the bureau's finding of serious misconduct against Khan and the prosecutor's dismissal, according to multiple diplomatic sources. Khan’s lawyers have denounced the change of rules as unfair. "Altering the rules of a named individual's case partway through, to his disadvantage and without notice to him, raises the most serious questions of lawfulness and of basic fairness, and we would say so whoever the individual concerned happened to be," they told MEE . What next? In the event of a majority vote approving the bureau’s recommendation, the removal decision will take immediate effect, and elections for a new prosecutor would follow. Khan told MEE in May that he would appeal the removal before the administrative tribunal of the International Labour Organization, the body to which ICC staff may appeal employment decisions. Khan, a British barrister, was elected as chief prosecutor by the ASP in February 2021. He is the third person to hold that position since the court’s founding in 2002. In addition to seeking warrants for Israeli leaders, his office has sought arrest warrants for Russia ’s Vladimir Putin, the Philippine’s Rodrigo Duterte, Myanmar ’s junta leaders, and Taliban officials in Afghanistan . His future, and that of the court, now hangs in the balance. International law News Post Date Override 0 Update Date Mon, 05/04/2020 - 21:19 Update Date Override 0

A grief therapist told me I should live to honor my son. How would I do that?
After my 22-month-old child died, music and poetry brought catharsis and comfort The day Renzo had his aneurysm, in the afternoon before it happened, I distinctly remember telling him that it was going to be a pleasure to watch him grow up. It seems ridiculous to write that here, the foreshadowing so on the nose as to be unbelievable. But it’s true. To him and my wife Allegra, I said, “I love our little family.” After the struggles around his birth, job loss, the pandemic, it felt, finally, like we had made it to the other side. We had, I suppose, just not how I envisioned it. My friends Jayson and Stacy recommended I get to know David Kessler ’s work. According to Harvard Business Review, Kessler is “the world’s foremost expert on grief”. He’d worked closely with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who was the reigning expert on grief before her own death in 2004. A large part of Kübler-Ross’s legacy is her classification of what she calls the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, as described in her 1969 book On Death and Dying. After you experience a death, she wrote, these stages can occur in any order, with one or more possibly not occurring at all. Just weeks after Renzo’s death, I’d tricked myself into thinking I had jumped all the way to acceptance when really I was trying to outrun anger and depression. Bargaining hasn’t been a big one for me, nor has denial. The facts have been pretty hard to ignore. Continue reading...

'A triumphant failure': How Israel's use of social media influencers to win back support backfired
'A triumphant failure': How Israel's use of social media influencers to win back support backfired Submitted by Fleur Hargreaves on Mon, 07/20/2026 - 10:37 Israel quadrupled its PR budget to $730m in 2026 and is reportedly paying influencers up to $7,ooo to post pro-Israel content Anti-Trump and pro-Palestine protesters gather outside the Donald J Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, DC on 19 February 2026 (Heather Diehl/Getty Images/AFP) Off An unprecedented investment in social media propaganda by Israel is failing to shift the cratering support for the country in the western world amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza , particularly among the younger generation, analysts have told Middle East Eye. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in March found that a majority, 60 percent of the American public, including 57 percent of Republican voters under the age of 50 and 84 percent of Democrats under 50, view Israel unfavourably. Much of this is down to an increasing number of younger people using social media rather than mainstream outlets, which are overwhelmingly pro-Israel, for their news. To counter this shift, Israeli lawmakers approved a record budget of $730m for public diplomacy - known by its Hebrew name Hasbara - in March, amounting to almost five times its previous annual budget, which was already 20 times pre-2023 levels. In September 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with several American influencers in New York to enlist them to amplify pro-Israel messaging in the US. During the meeting, Netanyahu stressed the importance of their role, saying : "We have to fight with weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we’re engaged in and the most important ones are on social media." He added that the deal, which saw American billionaire Larry Ellison, alongside several other pro-Israel businessmen, acquire TikTok's US operations, was "the most important purchase going on right now". As part of its propaganda campaign, Israel used secret PR operations and hired corporate firms to manage paid influencer networks under a plan code-named the "Esther Project". According to documents filed under the US's Foreign Agents Registration Act (Fara), Israel paid influencers up to $7,000 per social media post, operating through its contractor Bridges Partners, which worked with a global ad agency called Havas Media Group Germany for an “Influencer Campaign”. Havas also signed a $15m contract with Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale’s firm Clock Tower X, which was recently exposed to be behind a social media campaign to attack the US president’s ceasefire deal with Iran on behalf of Israel. 'Influencers derive much of their persuasive power from perceived authenticity, yet overt coordination or sponsorship can undermine that credibility and generate backlash' - Marc Owen Jones, associate professor at Northwestern University Time Magazine revealed last week that in private group chats, influencers for this campaign were guided on the language to use for posts on social media sites such as X, Instagram and TikTok and were paid up to $4,250 per post. Separately, according to the Wall Street Journal, a group called Show Faith by Works filed documents with plans to spend more than $3m on promoting pro-Israel messages to megachurch attendees and Christian college students, and proposed reaching out to churches, pastors and Christian social media influencers to reach an audience of four million in the American Southwest. Founder Chad Schnitger told the the Wall Street Journal the group has now abandoned these plans. Another insight into the strategy behind the Hasbara machine came in April when Ella Kenan, a former Israeli military intelligence captain, revealed at a conference in New York that she had worked with 60,000 influencers around the world to "serve the narrative" for Israel after 7 October 2023. Kenan, who founded the Bright Mind organisation to "counter misinformation about Israel", claimed that her network's content, much of which was produced specifically for non-Jewish influencers, had generated almost three billion views across social media platforms. She also claimed to have coined the slogan "Hamas is ISIS", later adopted by global leaders, including former US President Joe Biden. The Spokesperson’s Unit The Israeli foreign ministry also launched an initiative to fund an Israel tour for social media influencers associated with the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement. The ministry spent $86,000 on a contract with nonprofit organisation Israel365 to bring 16 US-based social media influencers under the age of 30 to the country to encourage them to disseminate messaging aligned with the Israeli government to their large followings of young Christian conservatives. US influencer Clavicular’s ‘Israelmaxxing’ propaganda trip ends in national scandal Read More » Separately, US right-wing influencer Clavicular recently came under fire for a visit to Israel seemingly to clear himself of antisemitism accusations, after he appeared including self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and white nationalist Nick Fuentes, singing the lyrics to the song "Heil Hitler" by Kanye West. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, is a leading figure in the "looksmaxxing" movement, a male internet subculture built around the extreme pursuit of physical attractiveness. During the visit, celebrated as "Israelmaxxing" by the right-wing, pro-Israel outlet The Free Press, he appeared on a livestream alongside Shira Braun, a soldier serving in the Israeli army's propaganda wing, the Spokesperson Unit, and asked her whether he would receive $7,000 for publishing pro-Israel posts. Braun was subsequently removed from her position and barred from continuing as social media coordinator for the army. Clavicular was also confronted by Israelis over his past antisemitic comments, with the whole episode failing to deliver the polished publicity Israeli officials were looking for. [Have we reached out to Clavicular for comment?] Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor of media analytics at Northwestern University, told Middle East Eye: "Rather than relying solely on official government accounts, these campaigns increasingly operate through hybrid networks of state institutions, advocacy organisations, private donors, diaspora groups and content creators, blurring the distinction between official public diplomacy and decentralised digital advocacy." However, "the strategy contains an inherent trade-off: influencers derive much of their persuasive power from perceived authenticity, yet overt coordination or sponsorship can undermine that credibility and generate backlash," he added, as illustrated by the fallout from Clavicular’s visit. 'The biggest challenge that we face is that you can’t really fight photos of dead children' - Rachel Lester, former Israeli military spokesperson Former Israeli military spokesperson Rachel Lester, who spent four years in the International Branch of the Spokesperson's Unit producing social media content, told American publication The Media Line that Israel cannot win the battle against anti-Israel sentiment online because "our enemies are too good at manipulating the world’s emotions". Lester explained that the Spokesperson's Unit is divided into three branches: Hebrew media, international media, and Arabic media. The international branch tried to convince the world that Hamas does not care about Palestinian civilians in Gaza. She said she was "always trying to make videos about people’s favourite topic, which is civilians in Gaza", about "how this horrible war was affecting innocent Gazan civilians". These videos "performed the best", she added, "because the international community doesn't really have much sympathy for Israel". In a separate interview with Ynet, Lester said that "the biggest challenge that we face is that you can’t really fight photos of dead children". [Have we reached out to the Spokesperson's Unit for comment?] Miriyam Aouragh, professor of Digital Anthropology at University of Westminster, in the UK , told MEE that many of Israel’s attempts to recruit influencers have "backfired" by not only failing to promote pro-Israel messaging, but inadvertently exposing the operation behind it so that “the influence of social media itself becomes the story". She described the strategy as a "triumphant failure" where, despite Israel's consolidation of power over mainstream media and social media ownership, it has been unable to break through the cultural zeitgeist shifting under its feet and the organised social movement behind it. Part of this is down to the difficulties of messaging to both internal Israeli audiences and external international ones. She explained that, whereas to convince Israelis to stay in an increasingly unstable settler colonial state requires using “colonial methods” to radicalise its population to believe in ethnic supremacy, that is not compatible with maintaining Israel’s image as “the only democracy in the Middle East”. "Palestine has become our generation's… political cause like Vietnam was in the 60s and 70s," she told MEE, so that “it is impossible to break through the zeitgeist with money and influence. "There are some things that money cannot buy." Aipac spending in US elections The shift in younger American attitudes in particular represents an existential threat to Israel, whose long-standing reliance on billions of dollars in US aid has previously been guaranteed by bipartisan support among elected politicians. However, the ongoing Democratic Party mid-term primary elections have seen a number of vocally pro-Palestine candidates successfully pushing out establishment politicians whose Israel-linked funding has become the subject of increased scrutiny by voters. 'Israel’s real problem is the gap between message and reality; you cannot ‘explain’ a livestreamed genocide' - Abeer al-Najjar, American University of Sharjah One such candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, is running in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary against Haley Stevens, who has had more than $20m spent on her by pro-Israel PACs, according to watchdog TrackAIPAC. United Democracy Project, the super PAC of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), a leading pro-Israel lobbying group in the US, launched a series of attack ads on El-Sayed, claiming he has "a history of disrespecting women" after several polls showed him leading the race ahead of the 4 August primary. A Jewish influencer recently revealed he "received a confidential influencer brief" from Stevens' campaign, offering to pay him $1,500 to promote various talking points favourable to her image, covered by a non-disclosure agreement that he never signed. [We have to reach out to Stevens' campaign for comment] During the race, El-Sayed drew criticism for meeting with US political commentator and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, a particularly influential pro-Palestine voice for a younger audience who was recently subjected to a coordinated smear campaign from US mainstream media. Despite the barrage of attacks, El-Sayed's polling saw a bump after his rally with Piker, showing it had the inverse effect of boosting his name recognition and cementing his status as the anti-establishment candidate voters were searching for. A similar trend has played out with Piker himself: after being banned from the UK, which he said was "at the behest of Israel", Piker saw his popularity increase, the result of what he calls the "Streisand effect" - where an attempt at censorship instead puts the issue under a spotlight. 'Ridiculous': Social media reacts as Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur denied entry to UK Read More » Unlike the Hasbara influencers, Aouragh said, pro-Palestine content creators "set the tone, they set the agenda, [and] they understand very well that social media traction is a big component of news" which can exist in parallel to mainstream media, or even be followed by it. However, she added that the move to ban Piker is "a very dangerous game, because every erosion of citizen liberal rights is one too many, and creates… new rules of engagement" which "normalises the closing down of free speech". Abeer al-Najjar, professor of media and journalism studies at the American University of Sharjah, told MEE the campaign to silence these influencers and buy support among others will almost certainly fail, and in fact "may accelerate what [Israel] fears". She explained that pro-Israel influencers are "the 'organic-looking' front of a professionalised state operation" whose official channels have lost credibility, aiming to "launder state messaging as peer culture". "Israel's real problem is the gap between message and reality; you cannot 'explain' a livestreamed genocide," she said, adding that "the Clavicular episode exposes the model’s limit; even funded, curated trips can’t manufacture the authenticity they’re buying". What they can expect instead are "diminishing returns, visible backlash like the Clavicular fiasco, and deepening cynicism among the very youth being targeted".
