Episode Details

The ICC just voted to remove its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over serious misconduct allegations — including sexual misconduct involving a female aide — with 82 of 125 members backing the move. Khan, elected in 2021 and suspended in June, denies all claims. While his removal doesn’t instantly affect existing arrest warrants — like those for Israeli officials — it’s a major blow to the court’s credibility amid global scrutiny, especially as the ICC grapples with political pressure from the U.S. and internal divisions among staff and member states. Khan’s legal team calls the suspension unlawful and unfair, and the fallout underscores the court’s turbulent moment as it tries to stay impartial amid war crimes investigations — particularly in Gaza.
