ICC Dismisses Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan in Historic Vote

ICC member states voted 82 of 125 to remove Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan for serious misconduct and a breach of duty, based on allegations of a sexual relationship with a subordinate staff member; the decision takes effect immediately and elections for a new prosecutor will follow. Khan’s supporters say due process and independence were bypassed, while critics view the move as politically charged within the ICC’s governance and disciplinary process.

ICC Prosecutor Ousted Over Alleged Misconduct, Lawyers Say Politics at Play

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.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan Cleared by Judges Over Misconduct Claims

A panel of three ICC judges found that UN OIOS findings do not establish misconduct by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, who had denied the allegations and took voluntary leave in May. The confidential panel report was sent to the ASP; the bureau has 30 days to issue a preliminary assessment, Khan 30 days to respond, and the bureau 30 days to reach a decision, after which the investigation could be closed if no misconduct is found.
