ICC member states vote to remove prosecutor Karim Khan over misconduct claims
The International Criminal Court has removed chief prosecutor Karim Khan after 82 of its 125 member states voted for his dismissal at a closed-door UN meeting in New York on Friday, citing 'serious misconduct and breach of duty.' The vote followed sexual misconduct allegations by a former staffer, which Khan denies. He plans a legal challenge, having led prosecutions since 2021.
