Khan himself has acknowledged how he too has had to grapple with Israel’s impunity and push back against the politicisation of the court. Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour yesterday, the chief prosecutor revealed details of the pressure he has come under from western leaders.
“Now, of course, this situation, unfortunately, lives on the San Andreas Fault of international politics and strategic interests. And, of course, I’ve had some elected leaders speak to me and very, you know, be very blunt,” said Khan. He claimed that the same leaders told him that, “This court [the ICC] is built for Africa and for thugs like [Vladimir] Putin,” and not for western leaders.
