The ICC disqualified chief prosecutor Karim Khan from the case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte due to a perceived bias stemming from Khan's prior representation of victims. Despite this, the case will continue under a deputy prosecutor. Duterte's defense argued that Khan's previous involvement created a conflict of interest. The ICC judges acknowledged the appearance of bias but did not find actual bias. Duterte, arrested in March, denies the charges and has faced multiple legal challenges regarding his health and potential witness intimidation. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
