ICC Prosecutor Ousted Over Alleged Misconduct, Lawyers Say Politics at Play
TL;DR Summary
The ICC Assembly of States Parties voted to remove prosecutor Karim Khan amid sexual misconduct allegations, a move his lawyers call political and not supported by independent findings; Khan had previously stepped aside after an oversight panel found serious misconduct, though the UN OIOS reportedly says those findings do not establish misconduct. The removal triggers a new election for ICC prosecutor, yet does not immediately affect the 2024 arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.
