The UK Bar Standards Board (BSB) rejected the appeal of International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who was given an interim suspension due to an investigation into sexual harassment allegations.
The British Bar Standards Board (BSB) had issued a temporary restraining order against International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to Israel's attacks on Gaza, due to the investigation into sexual harassment allegations. In the statement made today by the BSB, it was stated that the objection to Khan, who appealed the temporary restraining order against him, was rejected.
After an 18-month investigation into allegations that Khan had sexual intercourse with a lawyer in his office without consent, it was decided that Khan had committed "abuse of power". The British Bar Standards Board (BSB) imposed an interim suspension on Khan in June while the investigation against him continued.
56-year-old Karim Khan, who issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant due to Israel's attacks on Gaza, denies the accusations against him. - LONDON
