ICC prosecutor Karim Khan faces possible removal after sexual misconduct allegations

The International Criminal Court's 125 member states are set to vote on July 24 at The Hague on whether to retain chief prosecutor Karim Khan, who has been suspended amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations. The allegations, first reported months earlier, have led to an internal disciplinary process and raised questions about the court's credibility.

Malaysian lawyer Sarah, the only Malaysian employed by the ICC and a former special assistant to Khan, broke her anonymity by speaking publicly in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. Her testimony brings the internal complaints into the public spotlight just days before the court’s decisive vote, highlighting the institutional challenge the ICC faces in addressing misconduct at its highest level.
