ICC chief prosecutor dismissed over alleged sexual misconduct
Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, was ejected from his post on Friday night for alleged sexual misconduct after a vote at the United Nations in New York. In the event he was voted out by a large majority -- the first time that a chief prosecutor has been ousted in the court's 24-year history. Meanwhile there were suggestions that the allegations against Khan might be part of a secret effort by Israel to damage his reputation, though the UN investigation was said to have gathered testimony from 'multiple credible witnesses' dismissing the suggestion that she was a spy.
