Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has been suspended due to allegations of sexual misconduct involving a female aide. The ICC's oversight body referred him for disciplinary proceedings following a UN investigation that found evidence of nonconsensual sexual contact at his office and during missions. Khan, who has denied the allegations, previously stepped down temporarily in May 2025 while the investigation was ongoing. The Assembly of States Parties, which oversees the ICC, will hold a special session to determine whether Khan can retain his position. A total of 63 votes from the 125 member states will be needed for his removal. The situation is unprecedented for the ICC, prompting the Assembly to create new rules to manage the process. The allegations against Khan have been under scrutiny for over two years, with whistleblower documents detailing instances of inappropriate behavior, including requests for physical intimacy and locking the aide in his office. A date for the assembly session to discuss Khan's future has not yet been set.
