An investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct against International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan has found evidence of "serious misconduct" and a "serious breach of duty," Associated Press said, citing a source.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the report, the conclusion was reached by the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s oversight body. Khan, through his lawyers, has rejected the findings, calling the decision to suspend him "unlawful, procedurally unfair, and unsupported by evidence." His defense team intends to appeal the ruling and "ensure that due process is upheld."
