ICC suspends chief prosecutor amid sexual misconduct allegations – POLITICO

The International Criminal Court on Monday suspended its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, following allegations of sexual misconduct.

The court’s oversight body, the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties, said the decision to suspend Khan was grounded in an independent investigative report authored by the United Nations, the written testimony of Khan and his alleged victim and the advice provided by a panel of judicial experts.

The bureau stressed the suspension was “not an indication of the final outcome” of the probe into the British lawyer’s actions.
