UK watchdog suspends ICC prosecutor Karim Khan amid misconduct allegations
Britain’s Bar Standards Board suspended ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan with immediate effect amid misconduct allegations involving a female aide; Khan denies the claims. The ICC had previously suspended him after an internal investigation found serious misconduct and a serious breach of duty. UN investigators had found nonconsensual contact, but a three-judge ICC panel rejected parts of that report. The ICC is set to vote on removing Khan from office on July 24.
