My Take
Karim Ahmad Khan occupies a world far from celebrity glamour, and that is exactly why he interests me. Born in Edinburgh and trained at King's College London, he became Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in 2021, carrying responsibility for some of humanity's gravest cases. Drawing the line on war crimes and human rights abuses across borders demands nerve, integrity and an almost inhuman composure under pressure. He does not entertain us, he tries to hold the world to account. I find a quiet, serious admiration for figures like him, the people whose work keeps a fragile global order from collapsing entirely.
