THE HAGUE, Oct 14 (Reuters) - International Criminal Court (ICC) appeals judges have disqualified chief prosecutor Karim Khan from the war crimes case against former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte due to a possible conflict of interest, according to a copy of the decision seen by Reuters.
The ruling is yet another major blow to Khan, who stepped aside in May amid an ongoing U.N. inquiry into his alleged sexual misconduct. He has now also been barred from taking part in the Duterte prosecution, the only major active case pending at the court, which is already reeling under U.S.-imposed sanctions.
In August, Duterte’s defence sought to disqualify Khan, arguing that his involvement in communications to the court from victims of Duterte’s war on drugs was a conflict of interest.
