Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) fired the body’s chief prosecutor Karim Khan on Friday following sexual misconduct allegations.

Of the court’s 125 member states, 82 voted in favor of Khan’s removal in an ICC meeting in New York. The vote comes more than a month after the court suspended Khan. He had been on voluntary leave since May 2025.

Khan faced allegations made two years ago by an ICC employee who accused him of coercive sexual behavior over a 12-month period. The alleged victim, a Malaysian lawyer, first spoke publicly about the allegations in a CNN interview earlier this month.
