The International Criminal Court has announced that Prosecutor Karim Khan will step down temporarily as an internal investigation is launched into allegations of sexual misconduct involving several female staff members.
The decision comes in the wake of a sharply worded statement by Libyan Prime Minister Dr. Osama Hamad, who criticized Khan’s recent actions and questioned the credibility of the ICC’s approach toward Libya.
The unfolding scandal marks a serious blow to the integrity of the Court during a time of heightened political and legal tensions in the country.
