Legal Expert Casts Doubt on ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan  

International law expert Anis Al-Qassem confirmed that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Khan is one of the reasons and obstacles facing the ICC. The lawyer said this due to Karim’s direct connection with the United States, which originally appointed him.

 Dr Al-Qaasem described the Prosecutor as a “mercenary” who carries out the orders of the USA which seeks to obstruct any decision condemning Israel, according to J024.

“As long as Prosecutor Karim Khan is at the head of the International Criminal Court, there is no hope for the court to move to achieve justice.” He noted the judges of the court are immune from any accountability or pressure, and the defect lies with the Public Prosecution as it is the one that decides to open an investigation into the cases referred to the court.

In addition, Al-Qassem explained the International Court of Justice granted South Africa 10 months to submit its final argument in the genocide lawsuit it filed against the Zionist entity to be submitted next October.

Al-Qassem pointed out that all the massacres and crimes of genocide committed by the occupation in the Gaza Strip can be included in the course of the lawsuit.

Al-Qassem stressed that the judges of the International Court of Justice are completely immune and independent and no party, entity or state can exert pressure on them, noting that the course of international justice requires time to issue decisions and rulings.
