Karim Khan ousted from role as prosecutor of international criminal court

The International Criminal Court has removed its British chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, in an unprecedented move. Member states voted on Friday to oust the 56-year-old barrister after he was found to have committed serious misconduct involving alleged sexual abuse of a female aide. This decision concludes a damaging episode for the ICC, occurring two years after the initial allegations were raised, marking a significant shift in the court's leadership following the formal vote for his removal.
