  "account": "A three-member panel examining allegations of sexual misconduct against International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan determined that a United Nations investigation found no evidence of misconduct or breach of duty, according to a confidential report, according to Middle East Eye. The panel submitted its findings to the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties on March 9, though the report has not been made public. Most of the ICC’s 125 member states reportedly have not seen the report. Two diplomatic sources cited by Middle East Eye and two others familiar with its contents revealed the panel's unanimous conclusion based on the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) investigation. The OIOS investigation, launched in November 2024 following allegations of sexual misconduct against Khan, concluded that the factual findings did not establish misconduct or breach of duty under the legal framework. Khan took voluntary leave from his position during the investigation, which involved two women making allegations. The panel's finding is not a public ruling clearing Khan, as the report remains confidential and was submitted for consideration by the ASP Bureau. The allegations are separate from the cases being pursued by Khan's office, including those arising from the war in Gaza.",
