Duterte camp withdraws move to DQ ICC prosecutor Khan
The Freeman
|August 25, 2025
The legal team of former President Rodrigo Duterte said it will not move to disqualify International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan despite disclosures about his past professional links to individuals connected to the Philippine case.
-
In a public redacted filing dated August 15, defense counsel Nicholas Kaufman acknowledged Khan's voluntary notifications about his prior representation of people later referenced in the Duterte probe. One of them is now slated to testify against Duterte while another is scheduled for interview.
Kaufman said he accepts Khan's explanation that the omission in his initial disclosure was an "inadvertent oversight," saying that there is "no ostensible reason" to doubt the prosecutor's impartiality.
