THE HAGUE, June 19 (Arab News): International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, has been suspended by Britain's independent regulator for court lawyers.
Khan had already been suspended on June 8 by the ICC's governing body, prolonging a crisis at the war crimes court, which is also under US sanctions over investigations into the United States and Israel.
The Bar Standards Board said in a statement that the suspension, effective immediately, would be considered by a panel at a hearing within four weeks. Khan, 56, denies the allegations against him. His supporters have suggested that he has become a political target for seeking arrest warrants for Israeli officials over Israel's conduct in its war in Gaza.
