ICC prosecutor, under investigation, steps aside temporarily
The Hague (AFP) โ International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan will step aside pending the conclusion of an internal probe into a misconduct allegation against him, his office said Friday.The UN Office of Internal Oversight Services started started its investigation in November, with reports saying Khan was accused of sexual misconduct towards a member of his office.
Khan, 55, denies the allegations.
Khan "communicated his decision to take leave until the end" of the UN internal investigation, and his deputy prosecutors will run the office in his absence, it said in a statement.
The British lawyer took up his position with The Hague-based court in June 2021.
Throughout his career -- from courtrooms in England and Wales, to leading cases before international tribunals -- he has faced down controversy for his legal work.
Stints included defending Liberia's former president Charles Taylor against allegations of war crimes in Sierra Leone, Kenya's President William Ruto in a crimes-against-humanity case at the ICC that was eventually dropped, and the son of late Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, Seif al-Islam.
Khan also secured ICC warrants against Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior Hamas figures, over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The ICC investigates and prosecutes genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. While its rulings are binding on member countries, it lacks the ability to enforce them.
Khan was born in Scotland and studied undergraduate law at King's College, London.
His father was Pakistani, his mother British and he is a member of the minority Ahmadiyya Muslim sect.
He became a practising lawyer in 1992, and went on to cut his teeth in international law at the former Yugoslav and Rwandan war crimes courts from 1997 to 2000.
He later represented survivors and relatives of victims of the 1970s Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia at its UN-backed court in the late 2000s.
His other roles have included a stint at The Hague-based Special Tribunal for Lebanon, set up to bring to justice the killers of Lebanese ex-PM Rafic Hariri in 2005.
I don't buy it.
The alleged misconduct happened in 2023 December. Internal investigation was conducted and closed. Then the allegation was made publically just as arrest warrant was issued for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and US promised to retaliate. Patented US handiwork to me.
Even if it were true, that doesn't make the arrest warrant less relevant, but this way all the genocide supporters can pretend they are not the bad guys...

Znajomi siฤ zachwycajฤ tym chatem GPT ciฤ gle, postanowiลem mu daฤ drugฤ szansฤ...
Irytujฤ ce to jest strasznie, ale juลผ wiem, co mi to przypomina, ta rozmowa z tym botem: komiks o NIEZROZUMIAลYM CZลOWIEKU!
The image is a comic strip titled "NIEZROZUMIALY CZลOWIEK OPC.1" (The Incomprehensible Man, Option 1). It consists of nine panels, each depicting a scene with a stick figure character interacting with a ticket vending machine.
In the first panel, the character stands in front of the machine, asking for "DWA BILETY ZA TRZY ZลOTE" (two tickets for three zloty). The second panel shows the character receiving one ticket, with the text "TZN. JEDEN BILET W CENIE TRZECI ZลOTECH" (meaning one ticket for three zloty). In the third panel, the character, holding the ticket, says "ALE DWA TAKIE BILETY" (but two such tickets).
The fourth panel shows the character holding a 3.00 zloty note, with the text "TAKIE DWA ZA TRZY ZลOTE? BฤDE STRATNA..." (such two for three zloty? I will be at a loss...). In the fifth panel, the character offers "ALE JA PANI DAM SZฤฤ ZลOTYCH" (but I will give you six zloty). The sixth panel shows the character saying "A TO NAWET LEPIEJ, BO PRZY ZAKUPIE POWYลปEJ PIฤฤ ZลOTYCH JEST BILET GRATIS" (this is even better, because with a purchase above five zloty, there is a free ticket).
In the seventh panel, the character requests "W TAKIM RAZIE PROSZฤ TRZY BILETY ZA SZฤฤ ZลOTYCH" (in that case, please give me three tickets for six zloty). The eighth panel shows the character lying on the ground, with the text "I JEDEN GRATIS..." (and one free...). The final panel shows a hand holding three 6.00 zloty tickets.
The comic humorously illustrates a misunderstanding about ticket pricing, leading to an unexpected outcome.

The ancient Romans were masters of building and engineering. Even today one of their structures, the Pantheon, is still intact nearly 2,000 years after it was built, a long time for concrete to last. Researchers from MIT may now know why. @ScienceAlert has the story:

I donโt understand why thereโs any crackdown on any of this. Not liking a war is kinda traditional around here. Or was.
Maybe thatโs it. Maybe theyโre planning another unpopular war and this is the preliminary work.

Pond Sprites spawn when water has high levels of miasma. They're incredibly shy and can often be found hiding underneath lotus leaves. If you've ever seen one moving across the water, it is likely you have been in the presence of one of these round creatures.
Researchers believe the tainted waters feel rejuvenating to them, balancing their miasma levels so they can continue to exist. These creatures, although cute, are toxic to humans. Just being in the water with them can cause a rash.
