Name?

Hatnote: This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. The subject's surname should be written as "Ahmad Khan", not Khan.
{{cn}} for that? The article doesn't follow those instructions; his own CV on the ICC site has, inter alia, "Special Adviser Khan" and "Karim Khan"; The Guardian has "Khan, 50," beating candidates from Ireland, Spain and Italy; and the ICC itself identifies him as Karim A. A. Khan KC. Fwiw, the bit about the article not following its own hatnote instructions also applies to his brother, Imran Ahmad Khan. Moscow Mule (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have WP:BOLDly removed this template. CapitalSasha ~ talk 20:55, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest aniisemite of all time/outrageous

After the vitriolic abuse, not adding a note to balance the smear by adding the very succinct link to what Kenneth Roth wrote of this kind of language thrown Khan's way would in my view violate NPOV, and the note is warranted for a BLP article.

Several attempts by IPs have been made to erase this balance and just let the innuendo he is an antisemite responsible for outrageous statements (when just doing his job) together with an ill-disguised islamophobic attempt to 'skewer' him as primarily a Muslim, mean he is under attack even here. Note that this latest erasure is by someone just registered with a mere 20 edits. It should be reverted. I see the ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES warning is posted so I will revert it as a violation.Nishidani (talk) 15:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic jurist/Muslim jurist?

You added RAMSES$44932 Islamic jurist, which redirects to Faqīh, explained there as "an expert in fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic Law" and elsewhere as "One who possesses religious knowledge in Islam",^[1] "a Muslim theologian versed in the religious law of Islam"^[2] and "an Islamic religious lawyer".^[3] Is that correct or did you intend Muslim jurist? Mcljlm (talk) 23:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was a joke. I know the difference between Islamic law and secular law.

It is horrible that mr. Khan considers the Israeli state and Hamas as equals. Israel kills as less civilians as it can. Hamas killed as many as it could.

Not to mention that mr. Khan is a Muslim, and he can't be objective in this case. For Muslims, every land conquered by Muslims must remain ruled by Muslims - that's why they refuse the 2 state solution

It was a joke. And I'm not going to re-edit mr. Khan's page in the near future, but only with correct information RAMSES$44932 (talk) 06:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change a British-born Islamic jurist and lawyer to a British lawyer in the first sentence. It appears that this change was the result of vandalism. Aaacme (talk) 00:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems the page got protected after someone vandalized the page by calling him a "Hamas supporter". I personally don't object with this change. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done regardless of whether it was vandalism or in good faith, it is an unreferenced and evidently controversial addition so has been reverted. Irltoad (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(notre Semi-protection for Sir Karim Ahmad Khan)

A couple more. Arrest warrants like that. Because of

a suspicion of war crimes. And, finish! Same as with the Federal Public Prosecutor, Germany. (Ah, give Goodbye to the Merory! This one, from 1968, yes.) (by the way. We urgently and imperatively need Mr. Karim Ahmad Khan on the Prosecutor's Square. He will give us good topics for discussion.

Page still under attack by blatant islamophobists, racists and Israeli nationalits

The page is still blatantly heavily skewed against the person to the point of even quoting clear personal opinions. In particular Natasha Hausdorff is complete falsehood and propaganda, to the point where a fast search, even here on Wikipedia, will easily disprove her whole argument (for example, but not exhaustively, Palestine did indeed sign the Treaty of Rome and is a state party since 2015). I removed that part but was later readded without reasons (or, well, reasons not being that the person doing was didn't like me and my line of thought), so if it's not to be removed I will take responsibility and modify the page to make it more encyclopedic and less biased, but it would swamp the page with a huge amount of pov that would inevitably make it far less readable. So, unless that pro-israeli propaganda is toned down, in 3 hours I will be forced to make the said change to the page. Quell Quell (talk) 13:46, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guardian Article Oct 27

https://amp.theguardian.com/law/2024/oct/27/icc-prosecutor-karim-khan-allegedly-tried-suppress-sexual-misconduct-claims

this article came out today releasing more information with more sources. The current version of the article seems downplay this and should mention some of the new information here. 2A02:14F:172:BE2C:7492:F9D3:7B1A:DEC9 (talk) 21:55, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just added some of the new facts that were revealed by the Guardian Article. GidiD (talk) 08:27, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Needs update

As per source "Mr Khan was born in Scotland to a British mother and Pakistani father."

He is part Pakistani and part British. 117.200.124.27 (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
