ICC Chief Prosecutor Faces Vote | Europe News

The ICC is on the brink of a major leadership shake-up as member states prepare to vote on removing Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, amid explosive allegations of misconduct and a power imbalance. With a secret ballot requiring 63 votes out of 125, the outcome could either be seen as a political victory for critics—especially those who oppose Khan’s recent moves targeting Israeli officials—or a setback for his supporters. Khan denies all wrongdoing, calling the allegations false and the decision process unfair, while the accuser, a junior staffer, insists the relationship was non-consensual. Despite a judicial panel finding no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, the vote’s timing and global fallout—especially with the U.S. ramping up criticism and the EU offering no concrete support—could reshape the court’s future and its global credibility.
