Episode Details

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, faces a pivotal vote today that could permanently remove him, amid explosive allegations of sexual misconduct with a subordinate—claims he denies. Suspended since June over a serious breach involving a secret relationship and attempts to silence the accuser, Khan is barred from attending the closed-door Assembly of States Parties meeting in New York due to U.S. sanctions. With 125 member nations voting, the Netherlands has pledged to remove him, while the U.S. pushes to dismantle the court entirely. Khan’s legal license is also suspended in the UK as his home country investigates. The controversy, tied to the court’s Gaza war investigations and arrest warrants for Israeli officials, has intensified global political pressure—and regardless of the outcome, the ICC is poised to emerge weakened and less capable of future action.
