Karim Khan, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has been suspended from his position pending disciplinary proceedings related to allegations of sexual harassment. This decision was announced by the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and takes effect immediately. The Bureau has referred the case to the ICC Assembly of States Parties, which will hold a special session to address the allegations. The suspension follows an investigation conducted by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services, which provided a report and evidence that informed the Bureau's decision. Notably, Khan had previously been on administrative leave since May 2025 due to allegations made in October 2024. Furthermore, reports have emerged of another woman who accused Khan of sexual offences dating back to 2009, when she was an unpaid intern in his office. The ICC's statement emphasized that the dismissal does not imply a predetermined outcome regarding Khan's case, and the details of the decision and related documents remain undisclosed.
