International Criminal Court members to vote on dismissing prosecutor Khan
International Criminal Court member states are set to vote on whether to dismiss chief prosecutor Karim Khan over alleged sexual misconduct. Khan denies the accusations and his lawyers argue the proceedings are procedurally unfair. The vote occurs amid broader political tensions, including U.S. criticism of the court and recent arrest warrants against Israeli officials.
- ▪The ICC governing body will hold a secret ballot requiring at least 63 of 125 member states to approve Khan's dismissal.
- ▪France and the Netherlands have announced they will vote in favour of removal, while the United States, which is not a member, has imposed sanctions on ICC officials.
- ▪If Khan is dismissed, a new prosecutor will be elected, but existing ICC warrants will remain in force.
- ▪U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the ICC as populated by "lunatics and crazies" and reiterated that no U.S. officials would face trial there.
