Dismissal of Prosecutor Karim Khan 'Crystallizes Inconsistencies' Within ICC, Says Malian Political Scientist
The move will "disastrously" damage the ICC's reputation in Africa, where it is already heavily criticized, Abdoulaye Diallo told Sputnik Africa.
"This is a turning point for the ICC. It crystallizes the inconsistencies and the feeling of double standards that undermine its credibility, particularly in Africa. Far from restoring trust, this risks accelerating the divorce between the court and the continent."
The ICC acted with “suspicious speed” in the case of Karim Khan, who is facing allegations of sexual assault, while being perceived as slow and biased in addressing the most serious crimes, he said.
