Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), was suspended from his duties on Monday following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a female aide. This decision came after the ICC's oversight body referred Khan for disciplinary proceedings, a process that is unprecedented for the court. The Assembly of States Parties (ASP) made the decision to suspend Khan, who has denied any wrongdoing, based on a report from the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) that indicated evidence of nonconsensual sexual contact in various settings, including his office and private residence. Despite these findings, a panel of judges found the investigation's conclusions insufficiently conclusive. Khan had previously stepped down temporarily in May 2025 while the investigation was ongoing. The suspension is not expected to affect the court's operations significantly, as Khan has already been removed from involvement in the high-profile case against former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. The ASP will continue to oversee the proceedings against Khan as they unfold.
