International Criminal Court member states dismiss chief prosecutor Karim Khan
The International Criminal Court's member states have voted to dismiss Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies.
Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have voted to remove chief prosecutor Karim Khan from his post following allegations of sexual misconduct, according to diplomatic sources.
The decision was made during an extraordinary meeting in New York, where representatives from the court's 125 member states passed a motion with a large majority to dismiss the British lawyer. Khan has firmly denied the accusations, which involve a female colleague and first surfaced nearly two years ago.
This marks the first time in the history of the tribunal that member states have voted to remove a sitting chief prosecutor.
