#KarimKhan - In the probe into alleged sexual misconduct by the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor Karim Khan, which he denies, the latest stage of the drama is a media interview, his first since he stepped aside a year ago. Here are his key answers. www.justiceinfo.net/en/158759-ka...

This should be the priority of the Assembly of States Parties, including implementing IER 169 fully and forcefully. But it isn’t as the Bureau prolongs the external investigation into the Prosecutor, a major distraction for the ICC. The outcome, whatever it is, must come now.

@amnesty.org launch of the 2025 State of the World’s Human Rights happening now, live midnight. Selective international law by predator States sets an unprecedented attack on human rights. Time to act.

The ongoing investigation into the ICC Prosecutor highlights a need that has been imminent for many years: a governance quality assurance exercise of the Assembly of States Parties. My policy brief for @cilrap.bsky.social and 🧵⤵️ 📍 www.toaep.org/pbs-pdf/202-...

In a context where no official substantive statements are forthcoming from the ASP Bureau Presidency regarding the external investigation on the Prosecutor, the minutes of the latest meeting on March 4th reveal some important aspects 🧵⤵️ 📍 asp.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

The recently amended ASP Rules of Procedure 81(1) and 82(2)(c) put on the Bureau the responsibility to show their “reasoning” if it disagrees with the ad hoc panel advisory outcome. As @sevslv.bsky.social and former judge Tarfusser explain, that will be a tall order for States Parties ⤵️

1/3 When I set to research the governance role of the Assembly of States Parties for my PhD, the intention was to elevate the tangible ways in which they affect the life of the Court. The ongoing process regarding the Prosecutor is just one example 📍 brill.com/display/titl...

1/2 En que te han convertido, Cancillería Argentina? De poder reparar un horror de la historia a ser una marioneta diplomática de Trump, sin soberanía, inteligencia propia y voluntad.

For what is worth, in the process of writing my book about the ASP, I did not encounter a single decision by the Bureau that was not by consensus. It would be very surprising the President of this Bureau has to ask for a vote on whether to disregard the ad hoc panel finding ⤵️

The Bureau President recalls no decision has been made about the external investigation into the Prosecutor amidst media coverage of the issue. Some thoughts 🧵 📍 www.icc-cpi.int/news/asp-pre...

Same points apply to The Guardian’s coverage of the ad hoc panel finding on the Prosecutor. www.theguardian.com/law/2026/mar... However, the Bureau is not “the ICC” and no, the Assembly won’t be meeting on Mon, the Bureau will. The (no) role of the IOM is also never mentioned.

1/3 This is accurate insofar the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, amended speedily in Dec 2025, gives the Bureau the option to disregard the ad hoc panel report and still find misconduct, triggering, possibly, the removal of the Prosecutor. 📍 opiniojuris.org/2026/02/09/s...

The ASP Bureau President - who presided over this unprecedented external investigation - would do good in addressing the public regarding the finding of no misconduct. The Bureau must move quickly. The OTP cannot remain leaderless any longer, even if lessons must be learned.

As per Art 127(1), Hungary’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute is effective on June 2026. Until then, like any other State Party, Hungary has the duty to arrest all fugitives from the Court. If it does not, the Court can find a non-cooperation breach and ask the ASP to take action.

Thank you @passblue.bsky.social for including my thoughts about Grossi’s candidacy and its relationship with the Milei government ⤵️

Great to see coverage of this important ASP Bureau meeting. As of now, no news as the 21 States Parties receive the ad hoc panel and UN investigation report into the Prosecutor. A process, unresolved, taking more than a year. More here ⤵️

Big day tomorrow for the @IntlCrimCourt and the ASP Bureau as it’s 21 members meet to “start considering the reports of the OIOS and the Panel” regarding the external investigation into the Prosecutor. Some preliminary thoughts 🧵⤵️

Ad Hoc Panel report on the Prosecutor’s alleged misconduct has gone to the Bureau. 📍 asp.icc-cpi.int/press-releas... Now the Bureau needs to decide on next steps - to sanction or ask the ASP to remove - within 5 days. More here: www.justiceinfo.net/en/156124-wh...

Will the external investigation trigger a removal vote by the Assembly? More by @justiceinfo.bsky.social via @janethanderson.bsky.social ⤵️

Thank you to Janet and Stephanie for putting together a very important episode of Asymmetrical Haircuts on Universal Jurisdiction in Argentina. While rules disintegrate, international criminal law lives well in Argentina…for now.

1/2 1/2 The judges have, for the second time in the year, updated the Regulations of the Court, a critical legal text that guides procedural questions. While important to keep it updated, it seems an incomplete exercise when the head of the OTP is not in post. www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-jud...

When I argue little academic interest goes into the ICC Assembly of States Parties, I usually use the amendment regime as a sobering example. This is the latest, when amendments affect internal accountability as a Prosecutor is investigated ⤵️ opiniojuris.org/2026/02/09/s...

Undoubtedly the political situation in Venezuela must be different. But an illegal foreign armed military intervention - one with plenty of history - will not deliver the desired political outcome and sets a dangerous (once again) precedent a peaceful region in the world.

1/8 - Article 97 of the UN Charter sets out the appointment of the Secretary-General, but Articles 1 and 2 define the substance of the role: promotion of human rights, respect for international law, and good-faith cooperation. Procedure cannot be divorced from purpose.

When the Assembly met in The Hague at the beginning of Dec, they knew more US sanctions were coming. Lots of States Parties proposed tangible actions. Now it’s the time to implement them. 📍 asp.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul... www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...

1/3 ‼️The OIOS has delivered its report into alleged misconduct by the Prosecutor. Took 1 year to get here. There is no public press release in the ASP or ICC website nor any comms by the President to date. The process forward continues to be troublesome for 2 reasons

Important post @opiniojuris.bsky.social by @ezejim.bsky.social on #ASP24 and the ongoing investigation. opiniojuris.org/2025/12/01/t...

#ASP24 - Thank you @opiniojuris.bsky.social for publishing my thoughts about what the 24th session of the Assembly of States Parties can do to tangibly support the International Criminal Court ⤵️ 📍 opiniojuris.org/2025/12/01/t...

#ASP24 starting - an important meeting for the future of the ICC and for States Parties to take tangible actions to govern it. Happy to be around to discuss my book on *how* the Assembly has governed the Court - come and say hello! 👋🏻 📕 brill.com/display/titl...

Happy to be in The Hague and supporting the @cilrap.bsky.social #ASP24 side event tomorrow, Monday, at 13.15 at the Europa 1 & 2 in the World Forum. Join us! 📍 www.cilrap.org/fileadmin/CI...

Important to cover this critical matter as the Assembly of States Parties begins their 24th session next Monday. The ongoing situation must culminate with due process and explanations by the Bureau. Good to see and share a similar analysis with @sevslv.bsky.social

A few days before the #ASP24 starts in The Hague, I am thrilled to share my book analysing *how* the Assembly governs the International Criminal Court will be published by @degruyterbrill.bsky.social on December 18th. I’ll be around at the ASP, say hello 👋🏻 📕 brill.com/display/titl...

The external investigation into the ICC Prosecutor will soon reach 1 year. The Court cannot afford further inaction by the Assembly and its Bureau. 📍 opiniojuris.org/2025/10/23/f... @opiniojuris.bsky.social Time to govern ⤵️🧵

1/5 Close to 12 months since starting an unprecedented external investigation into the Prosecutor, baring the role of the IOM, the Bureau informs that the UN-led investigation will be ready by end of October. Bureau meets again on Oct 8th ⤵️ 📍 asp.icc-cpi.int/sites/defaul...

Milei’s gov preparing to host Netanyahu. The Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties must now trigger their cooperation procedures to remind Argentina of its Rome Statute obligation to arrest any fugitive wanted by the Court. Argentina would join Hungary’s failure to cooperate.

Universal recognition of the State of Palestine must translate into political action to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza, provide aid, repair, redress and accountability for those who created this situation, starting with enforcing the pending arrest warrants at the ICC.

Nice one Germany. Looking forward to your actions in the Situation of the State of Palestine in the event a fugitive happens to be in your (lovely) territory🫡
