ICC Removes First Ever Prosecutor | Adelaide News

For the first time in history, the International Criminal Court has removed its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, after finding he engaged in serious misconduct—including a sexual relationship with a female aide and obstructing her allegations—leading to his suspension and eventual ouster in a vote by 125 member states. The move, which followed a two-year scandal, has ignited geopolitical firestorms, with the U.S. pushing to dismantle the ICC and Venezuela withdrawing over perceived bias. Israel’s ambassador accused Khan of using the court’s investigations to deflect from his own misconduct. While political tensions loom, experts say existing arrest warrants remain unaffected, and the Assembly of States Parties will now elect a new prosecutor to lead the court through this turbulent transition.
