What happened

Well supportedReported by 15 independent outlets

The International Criminal Court dismissed Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan after 82 of its 125 member states voted to remove him for serious misconduct and a breach of duty. The dismissal followed allegations of sexual misconduct, which Khan has denied. The court is now searching for a replacement prosecutor, with the office temporarily run by deputy prosecutors.
