Ottawa says it supports the International Criminal Court’s decision to remove prosecutor Karim Khan, according to reporting from Canadian outlets. The government statement indicates Canada backs the process adopted by ICC member states to oust Khan. However, Ottawa does not disclose whether Canada participated in the vote or how it voted on the prosecutor’s expulsion.
The reports describe the issue as involving ICC member states and the ICC’s internal decision-making on the prosecutor’s position. While Canada’s stance is described as supportive of the outcome, the government’s refusal to provide voting specifics leaves unresolved how Canada’s position was expressed during the membership decision.
The information presented is limited to Ottawa’s claimed support and the lack of transparency on the voting record. The outlets do not add further details about the reasons for the ICC action, the timing of the vote, or the broader reaction from other countries or ICC officials.
