國際刑事法院 (ICC) 停職了其負責人 Karim Khan。這是由於一份關於其行為不端的報告所導致。

Main Body

A UN group studied Karim Khan for one year. They say he touched a female worker in a bad way. Khan says this is not true. He says the evidence is not strong.

聯合國一個小組對 Karim Khan 進行了為期一年的調查。他們表示他以不當方式觸摸一名女員工。Khan 則否認此事,並稱證據不足。

Now, 125 countries must vote. They will use a secret vote to decide if Khan can keep his job. He must leave if 63 countries say he did something wrong.

現在由 125 個國家進行投票。他們將透過秘密投票來決定 Khan 是否能保留職位。若有 63 個國家認定其有過錯,他將必須離職。

At the same time, other countries are angry with the ICC. The US, Russia, and Israel do not like the court. They are unhappy because the court wants to arrest their leaders.

與此同時,其他國家對國際刑事法院感到憤怒。美國、俄羅斯和以色列並不認同該法院。他們不滿的原因在於法院打算逮捕他們的領導人。

Conclusion

Karim Khan cannot work now. The countries will vote soon to decide his future.

Karim Khan 目前無法工作。各國將於近期投票決定其未來。
