The President of the Assembly of States Parties expresses concern at the recent media reporting concerning the ongoing disciplinary process regarding the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. The disciplinary process before the Bureau is ongoing and remains confidential. No decisions have been taken, and no weight should be given to or conclusions drawn from media speculations.
Currently, the Bureau is considering the investigative report of the Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) together with the advisory report of the ad hoc Panel of Independent Judicial Experts pursuant to the Bureau’s responsibility as the competent decision-maker and consistent with the legal framework of the Court.
The matters are complex, and the Bureau is working diligently to make its decision in a proper manner and without delay with full respect for the due process rights and privacy of all persons affected.
The President of the Assembly of States Parties continues to call for due respect for the privacy and the rights of all parties concerned, as well as the integrity of the ongoing process.
The Assembly of States Parties is the management oversight and legislative body of the ICC. It is comprised of representatives of States that have ratified and acceded to the Rome Statute.
