ICC Removes Prosecutor Khan Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

“"The independence of the International Criminal Court depends upon its elected officials being protected from removal through processes that are political, procedurally unfair or inconsistent with the findings of independent judicial bodies," Ali said on X.”

“There is no way for something to be consensual when you have such a power disparity, what I think many people don't understand is that Mr Khan was not just my boss, he was everyone's boss.”

“These warrants, issued against a country that is not even a member of the ICC, should never have been sought in the first place and should be revoked immediately.”

“"The assembly decided by a majority of 82 states parties that the elected official, prosecutor, Karim Khan, committed serious misconduct and a serious breach of duty … and to remove … Karim Khan from office,"”

“Khan’s legal representatives have criticised the disciplinary process as procedurally unfair. Responding to the vote, they said Khan would “challenge the lawfulness and fairness of the decision through all available legal mechanisms”.”
