He acted as Special Adviser and Head of the United Nations Investigative Team to promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Daesh/ISIL in Iraq (UNITAD), which was established following Security Council resolution 2379 (2017) to support national efforts to hold ISIL (Daesh) accountable for acts that may amount to war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity in Iraq.

In February 2021, Khan was elected the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court (ICC or ICCt) is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. It is the first and only permanent international court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. The ICC is distinct from the International Court of Justice, an organ of the United Nations that hears disputes between states.

Established in 2002 under the multilateral Rome Statute. It has faced criticisms from governments and civil society groups, including objections to its jurisdiction, accusations of bias, Eurocentrism, and racism, questioning the fairness of its case selection and trial procedures, and doubts about its effectiveness.

Rome Statute

The states parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court are those sovereign states that have ratified or have otherwise become party to the Rome Statute. The Rome Statute is the treaty that established the International Criminal Court. States parties are legally obligated to cooperate with the Court when required, such as in arresting and transferring indicted persons or providing access to evidence and witnesses. States parties are entitled to participate and vote in the Assembly of States Parties proceedings, which is the Court’s governing body. Such proceedings include electing such officials as judges and the Prosecutor, approving the Court’s budget, and adopting amendments to the Rome Statute.
