Karim Khan Removed as ICC Prosecutor
The 125 member states of the International Criminal Court voted to dismiss Karim Khan, the Court's Prosecutor, following reports published by the Associated Press alleging misconduct of a sexual nature against him. He is accused of sexual misconduct with an assistant, a charge he strongly denies. In a secret ballot, the vote overwhelmingly favored his removal, marking the first time in the Court's history that such an event has occurred. The Netherlands, France, and Norway announced their votes in favor of dismissal before the session, with Norway confirming that his conduct constitutes harassment and abuse of power, after he was temporarily relieved of his duties last June based on a report that confirmed serious misconduct.
