Judges at the International Criminal Court have disqualified the court's chief prosecutor from the case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) -- Judges at the International Criminal Court on Wednesday disqualified the court's chief prosecutor from the case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is charged with involvement in dozens of killings as part of his so-called "war on drugs" when in office.
The written decision cited a "reasonable appearance of bias" because Prosecutor Karim Khan -- before he took office -- represented victims of Duterte's alleged crimes.
