Exclusive: UK told Karim Khan it would not back him as ICC prosecutor before removal vote
The UK government informed Karim Khan it would not support him as ICC prosecutor and declined his request to meet with ministers before member states voted to remove him. The ICC dismissed Khan over sexual misconduct claims despite a prior panel clearing him, with the UK citing summaries of UN investigations and judicial reports as the basis for its decision.
