ICC Chief Prosecutor Removed After Alleged Misconduct | Belfast News

The ICC’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan has been ousted in a historic vote after a damning internal report found he engaged in serious misconduct—including a relationship with a female aide and efforts to suppress her allegations—allegations he denies. This marks the first time a chief prosecutor has been removed from the court, following a temporary suspension in June and a decisive secret ballot by 125 member states. While human rights groups remain divided, key nations like the Netherlands, France, and Norway backed his removal, citing proven harassment and abuse of power. The fallout adds to the ICC’s mounting challenges as it faces external pressures and now grapples with this unprecedented leadership shake-up.
