ICC chief prosecutor ousted over misconduct probe

The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan was removed by the Assembly of States Parties after disciplinary proceedings tied to sexual misconduct allegations, marking the first ouster of a sitting ICC chief. Khan denies wrongdoing and says he will challenge the decision.
