Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have voted to dismiss Karim Khan as prosecutor, according to diplomatic sources.
Various news agencies reported late on Friday that a majority of the court’s 125 member states voted in favour of the prosecutor’s removal. Khan’s team insists it is a politicised case in reaction to his pursuit of an arrest warrant against Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.
The vote, which took place nearly two years after sexual misconduct allegations against Khan first emerged, came amid rising pressure on the ICC.
