International Criminal Court Removes Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan in Historic Vote Over Sexual Misconduct Findings

Source Summary

International Criminal Court Removes Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan in Historic Vote Over Sexual Misconduct Findings - Khan had already been suspended from his duties in June while the Assembly of States Parties reviewed the findings of an executive committee report. The report concluded that he had engaged in serious misconduct, paving the way for Friday’s decisive vote. According to documents reviewed by the Associated Press, investigators found that Khan had entered into a sexual relationship with the complainant and later attempted to discourage her from pursuing the allegations. Khan has firmly rejected those claims and continues to dispute the report’s conclusions. Before the final vote, Sierra Leone proposed a motion that would have made his removal more difficult, but it failed to gain enough support. Get Latest News on International only on lokmattimes.com
