The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor, Karim Khan, stated during a UN Security Council meeting that he will not be intimidated by threats as his office investigates possible war crimes in Ukraine and Gaza.
Russia and Libya's ambassadors criticized Khan for inaction regarding Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza.

The Russian ambassador, Vasily Nebenzia, questioned the effectiveness of the ICC due to a new bipartisan bill in the US Congress that aims to sanction ICC officials investigating war crimes involving the US and its allies.

A Ukrainian prosecutor named Khan has spoken out against threats and attempts to interfere with his investigations, including an arrest warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Russia placed Khan on its wanted list last May in response to the arrest warrant.

Khan's office previously expressed concern over threats to the court's independence and impartiality, without specifying the source of the threats.

Such threats could be considered an offense against the International Criminal Court's administration of justice.

Khan vowed to continue his probes despite the challenges.

The ICC prosecutor may consider issuing warrants against Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Hamas leaders, according to media reports.

In response, ICC Judge James Kahn stated that the court has a duty to uphold justice and protect victims.

He acknowledged the presence of powerful entities in the room but emphasized the importance of the law and the court's commitment to standing up for justice with integrity and independence.
