The International Criminal Court (ICC) has voted to dismiss its chief prosecutor for alleged sexual misconduct.
British lawyer Karim Khan, elected in 2021, was facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Members—the 125-state Special Session of the Assembly of States Parties—cast 82 votes in favour of removing him, based on findings in June that he had committed a “serious breach of duty and serious misconduct,” prompting his suspension.
