Thank you to career prosecutor Brenda Hollis for this important statement. The quest for justice should never be conflated with a single individual. Behind Karim Khan there was a team of professionals seeking accountability in the Palestine investigation. #ICC

Another appalling editorial from the WSJ this weekend on the #ICC which I won't share. In addition to its support of the US campaign to dismantle the Court, it uses the complainant's full name when she has expressly asked media outlets not to. #metoo

States have voted, overwhelmingly, to remove Karim Khan as ICC Prosecutor: www.reuters.com/world/icc-me... In a world where #metoo often still feels beyond reach, these states did the right thing. Now the hard work of institutional reform & pursuing justice for Gaza & beyond can take center stage.

At the UN tomorrow, 125 states will decide whether to remove the ICC Prosecutor. I hope that those representatives will read this, then take a step back & reflect on the stakes for this crucial international institution before they cast their votes #metoo www.justsecurity.org/148713/icc-p...

5/ Finally, the ASP can't turn away from central problem that would plague ICC if Khan remains. Core mandate of Office of Prosecutor is to investigate sexual assault, and have victims and groups trust the Office. Yet, here we have ICC Bureau assessment of Prosecutor engaging in sexual misconduct.

4/ What’s more, some of Khan’s supporters raise procedural arguments that are quite easily disproven. This article exposes the flaws. www.justsecurity.org/148713/icc-p...

3/ Truth sandwich True: The Assembly vote is about the institution’s capacity to function. False: Khan’s supporters misframe question as due process for Khan as a defendant to be punished. True: Just Security article – by @bechamilton.bsky.social and Nema Milaninia – exposes the bogus narrative.

2/ Paradoxically, a strong indicator that Karim Khan is not fit for the office is that he didn't tender his resignation months ago. Watch this devastatingly detailed interview with the highly credible Complainant and @cnn.com @camanpour.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/e...

The International Criminal Court has vital work to do. That is why the Assembly of State Parties should now remove the Prosecutor. If not, it will be further downhill for the Court, its staff morale, and global justice. This expert analysis properly frames the question before the vote.⤵️ 1/🧵

FWIW I don't see a legal pathway to an NYPD execution of the arrest warrant and certainly zero prospect of extradition to The Hague. But Netanyahu may follow the same path as Bashir & Putin - avoiding the public scrutiny and speculation by staying home as their peers gather at the UN.

Thanks to NBC for the chance to discuss Mayor Mamdani's comments & the broader significance of an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on charges of the war crime of starvation and crimes against humanity including murder.

Sadly, it's time to re-up this Q&A by @mikeschmitt.bsky.social, me & @rgoodlaw.bsky.social on targeting & the #Iran war. To be clear it is never lawful to: - target civilians or civilian infrastructure as such - target "dual use" infrastructure to "send a message," punish, or coerce the other side

Leading legal experts Q&A analyzes how the law of armed conflict applies to United States, Israeli, Iranian strikes - focusing on targeting rules and civilian protections.

It is perfectly coherent to champion #metoo AND champion the existence of an ICC. Khan's ongoing tenure harms the ICC's standing. The ASP should vote to remove him & everyone who cares about #neveragain should double down on supporting the Court & its ongoing investigations.
