Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) vote to dismiss Prosecutor Karim Khan following allegations of sexual misconduct. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the decision is tied to complaints raised against Khan, and his position as ICC prosecutor is ended through the process carried out by the court’s governing body. Khan, 56, denies any wrongdoing. His legal team also contests the dismissal, arguing that the decision-making process does not meet legal standards. His lawyers describe the process as procedurally unfair and unlawful, and they say it lacks evidentiary support. One outlet quotes Khan’s lawyer saying Khan will challenge the lawfulness and fairness of the decision through all available legal mechanisms. The reporting across sources emphasizes both the ICC member states’ decision to remove Khan and Khan’s rejection of the allegations and the legitimacy of the process used to reach the vote. The next steps described by Khan’s side focus on pursuing appeals or other legal avenues within the applicable ICC framework.
