ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan was suspended from his duties Monday after the court's oversight body referred him for disciplinary proceedings over sexual misconduct allegations involving a female aide — a scandal spanning more than two years.

The Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties voted by qualified majority to suspend Khan, basing its decision on a UN Office of Internal Oversight Services report, advice from a panel of judicial experts and written submissions.

The UN probe found evidence of nonconsensual sexual contact in Khan's office, private residence and while on mission, though a three-judge panel found the investigation was not conclusive enough.

Khan's lawyers rejected the suspension, calling it "unlawful, procedurally unfair and unsupported by evidence," while reiterating his denial of any wrongdoing. A diplomatic source told Reuters the bureau recommended his removal from office.

Khan had voluntarily stepped down in May 2025 pending the inquiry's outcome and has already been removed from the ICC's high-profile case against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. He is the first ICC prosecutor formally suspended by the court's oversight body.

Only the 125-member Assembly of States Parties can remove Khan from office, requiring a majority in a secret ballot. Khan previously sought arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over the conflict in Gaza.
