Khan, who had previously denied the allegations, said on Monday he would press ahead with his duties while the investigation is ongoing. "I welcome the opportunity to engage in this process," Khan, 54, said in a statement, adding that he will be continuing all other functions as prosecutor.
After having consulted the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), I am seeking on behalf of the ASP Presidency an external investigation into the matters related to alleged misconduct by the ICC Prosecutor, Paivi Kaukoranta, president of the ASP, stated this Monday.
The IOM's annual report, released last month, indicated that the incident had been reported to the IOM in early May, but the alleged affected individual declined to pursue a formal complaint with the IOM.
The external investigation was being pursued in order to ensure a fully independent, impartial, and fair process according to the statement from the ASP.
