The U.K. Bar Standards Board (BSB) suspends Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), following sexual misconduct allegations, according to reports. The BSB says the suspension is an interim measure under its Enforcement Regulations and that an Interim Suspension Panel must consider the case at a hearing within the next four weeks. The BSB’s decision is tied to the handling of alleged professional misconduct and is separate from any ICC process. The suspension affects Khan in his capacity as a barrister regulated by the BSB. Additional reporting indicates the suspension is being processed through the BSB’s formal procedures, which include a panel review rather than an immediate final determination. The BSB statement references the timeframe for the hearing and the requirement that the interim suspension be reviewed through the panel. The news coverage describes the move as a regulatory action by British lawyers’ authorities while the allegations are assessed through the prescribed legal and regulatory steps.
