Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has been formally dismissed by the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute. He was previously suspended over serious allegations of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
During a special session held at the United Nations headquarters in New York, 82 member states voted in favor of his removal. Khan faced accusations of engaging in non-consensual sexual misconduct with a female lawyer in his office.
Over the past two years, Khan made headlines by issuing high-profile arrest warrants for global figures, including the leaders of Russia and Israel, as well as top officials of the Afghan government. His sudden dismissal has sparked significant international reactions.
