Correction & clarification: An ad hoc panel of three independent senior jurists, appointed by the ASP Bureau (the oversight body separate from the ICC), unanimously concluded that the UN investigation did not establish misconduct or breach of duty by Prosecutor Karim Khan. Yet 15 states on the ASP Bureau voted to override that assessment and conduct their own reassessment. The 15: Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Cyprus, Ecuador, Finland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, New Zealand, Poland, Slovenia, South Korea & Switzerland.

ICC’s own judges cleared @KarimKhanQC of misconduct after a #UN probe found insufficient evidence. Yet, the #ASP Bureau (15 states, mostly Western) voted to pursue the case anyway, ignoring the ruling and risking further politicisation of the Court. This comes as Khan’s office investigates war crimes in Gaza. Read the full story: middleeasteye.net/news/icc-gover… #ICC @IntlCrimCourt @MiddleEastEye

Statement from the legal team of ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan: "An independent panel of three top judges reviewed all the evidence and unanimously found NO misconduct or wrongdoing by the Prosecutor. But now there are reports that some countries in the Bureau want to ignore this clear decision and replace it with their own political opinion. This is worrying. It looks like politics is trying to override the law at the ICC. " Full statement attached. #ICC #JusticeNotPolitics"

@DaltonR62818511 @NationwideRadio Greetings sir. @JFJustice is an international media organisation based in The Hague and Kenya. It's not a Jamaican institution. Thanks.

@NationwideRadio @JFJustice as usual over reaching and seeking relevance. What is the purpose of the JFJ? How does the NaRRA bill impacts judicial matters for Jamaicans? What is the injustice with the PM appointing a CEO? Unnuh fi guhwey.

Jamaicans for Justice, JFJ, is taking issue with what it says is a CEO-driven structure of the proposed National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority, NaRRA, Bill. READ MORE HERE: ow.ly/joPS50YBybQ

Canadian #ICC Judge Kimberly Prost, sanctioned by the US for authorising the Afghanistan war crimes investigation (including alleged US troop involvement), says she never reconsidered her work at the Court: 'Absolutely not. Never for a moment.' Despite credit cards cancelled, Amazon shut down, and booking chaos — she's resolute: 'I believe so much in the mission of this court.' rte.ie/news/2026/0329… @IntlCrimCourt @StateDept #InternationalJustice

@MusaliaMudavadi Here are the rest of the names:

Kenya’s Foreign Affairs @MusaliaMudavadi previously stated that 252 Kenyans had been identified in relation to this issue, a figure significantly lower than what this list appears to suggest. That gap raises further questions about tracking, reporting, and what exactly constitutes “involvement.”

Today, Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War released a list of alleged Kenyan nationals fighting for Russian forces. The list runs into the hundreds—lending weight to earlier assessments, including Kenya’s NIS estimate of about 1,000 recruits. However, discrepancies are evident, some names appear multiple times with different dates of birth, and the information remains difficult to independently verify. @MusaliaMudavadi @SingoeiAKorir @rigathi @OkiyaOmtatah @bonifacemwangi @thekhrc @AmnestyKenya @VOCALAfrica_ @husskhalid @NationAfrica @StandardKenya @_kemboi @ForeignOfficeKE

For over a year, the @IntlCrimCourt has been investigating sexual misconduct allegations against its chief prosecutor, @KarimKhanQC. A judges’ review is now out, and the findings are split. A #UN investigation found evidence of “non-consensual sexual contact.” But judges said it did not meet the legal threshold for misconduct, citing gaps and unresolved inconsistencies via @nytimes

The resolution spearheaded by Ghana received 123 votes in favour. Three countries – Argentina, Israel and the United States – voted against and 52 abstained.

The UN General Assembly has recognised the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity, renewing calls for reparations and accountability for centuries of harm to Africans and their descendants.

🌙✨ Eid Mubarak As we mark the end of Ramadan, we join Muslim communities in celebrating Eid al-Fitr — a time of reflection, compassion, and renewal. Eid reminds us of the values that also guide our work: justice, dignity, and care for one another. At a time when many families continue to seek truth, accountability, and healing, these values matter more than ever. May this day bring peace to homes, strength to communities, and hope to those still waiting for justice. 🕊️ Eid Mubarak. #EidMubarak #JFJUpdates #HumanRights

Today, Bibiana Waithaka spoke before the European Parliament. She told the story of her son, recruited, taken far from home, and lost in a Russian war he did not choose. Not a soldier by calling, but a young man whose life was pulled into something beyond him. She spoke as a mother, carrying a loss no words can fully hold. #JFJUpdates @OpenSociety @Europarl_EN @EP_HumanRights @ForeignOfficeKE @hrw @thekhrc @AmnestyKenya @_AfricanUnion @AUC_PAPS @AfricanUnionUN
