Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), has been suspended from his duties following allegations of sexual misconduct with a female aide, a scandal that has persisted for over two years. The court's oversight body, the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), referred him for disciplinary proceedings based on an investigation by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS). This unprecedented situation for the ICC led to Khan's immediate suspension, though it is not an indication of the final outcome, and he had already temporarily stepped down in May 2025.
