The International Criminal Court's (ICC) chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, has been suspended pending a vote by member states on his fate, the court's governing body has said, following a probe into accusations of sexual harassment made against him.A diplomatic source briefed on the decision said the court's governing body's executive bureau has ruled Mr Khan had committed serious misconduct following an 18-month-long probe into accusations he had non-consensual sexual interactions with a lawyer in his office.Mr Khan has always denied the charges.The ICC's governing body will send its conclusion to all 125 ICC member states, who are expected to put Mr Khan's possible removal from office to a vote at a later date.The decision will have little practical impact on the functioning of the court, as Mr Khan stepped aside in May 2025, taking a leave of absence to fight the allegations.He has already been removed from pleading in the ICC's most high-profile case against former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte.The 55-year-old Briton hit the headlines when he successfully applied for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant over the Gaza war.He was among the first to be sanctioned by Israel's ally, the United States, which expressed outrage over the arrest warrants.Reuters/AFP
