British lawyer Karim Khan, 50, takes office on Wednesday as the new chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The witness is handed over to him by the Gambian lawyer Fatou Bensouda, who has served her nine-year term and has been the flag of the fight against sexual and gender-based crimes. A Khan awaits, among others, the investigation of alleged war crimes committed in Afghanistan, and the same task in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. Both cases have the rejection of the United States and Israel and he must be used to avoid political pressure. You will also need to seek the support of the international community so that the requests for help from the victims are not lost due to the lack of visibility and budget of the court itself.
