International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan has been definitively removed from his position following allegations of sexual assault. Khan had been suspended since 2025, pending investigation into the claims. The decision to revoke his mandate was made after an extraordinary meeting held Friday, July 24th, at the UN headquarters in New York. This marks a significant turning point in the history of the ICC. Details of the allegations have not been fully released, but the Court stated they were serious enough to warrant dismissal. The ICC has not yet announced a replacement for Khan, leaving an opening at the top of the world’s foremost international criminal justice body. This is a developing story with potential implications for ongoing ICC investigations.
