ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan suspended by UK watchdog

Karim Khan's suspension took place on Friday, June 19, under a fortnight following his own suspension by the ICC due to allegations of sexual misconduct. These claims, which Khan refutes, were made public in 2024 by a woman who had been employed by him in The Hague.
