On July 24, 2026, member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC), gathered in an extraordinary session at the UN headquarters in New York, voted to revoke the appointment of Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, following allegations of sexual harassment and abuse of power made by a legal assistant at the Court, which had been pending since his suspension in May 2025. The vote comes as the United States has imposed sanctions on several ICC officials, including Karim Khan, as part of a campaign targeting the Court. Karim Khan has announced his intention to appeal the decision.
