By Joshua Rozenberg19 July 2021 Karim Khan Karim Khan QC is the ideal prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, according to his friend and colleague Professor Kevin Jon Heller. ‘He has high-level experience as a prosecutor; he has even higher-level experience as a defence attorney. And, very importantly, he has high-level experience as a victims’ representative.’ Heller, a US-trained international lawyer who holds posts at the University of Copenhagen and the Australian National University, says one of the great strengths of the English legal system is that it can produce a prosecutor who thinks like a defence lawyer. Khan was a senior prosecutor at the CPS and is a member of Temple Garden Chambers.
