ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan Steps Aside Amid Sexual Misconduct Investigation
Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), is on administrative leave as he faces a sexual misconduct investigation. This decision comes after increasing pressure related to allegations of inappropriate behavior. Reports suggest that Khan attempted to use international legal actions, particularly regarding arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, to distract from the allegations against him. As the probe unfolds, Khan has temporarily stepped aside from his role at the ICC, with the implications of the investigation raising concerns about how such cases are handled at the international level.
