A Prosecutor's Global Responsibility
The top prosecutor at the ICC, Karim Khan, a British lawyer, holds the responsibility of investigating allegations of human rights abuses, war crimes, and crimes against humanity worldwide. He decides who gets prosecuted at the International Criminal Court, especially stepping in when domestic authorities fail to act. Khan's extensive experience includes working on human rights cases and leading investigations in various international tribunals, including those related to the wars in Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and crimes committed by the Islamic State in Iraq. Notable amongst his cases is the pursuit of President Putin in connection with the war in Ukraine.
