Karim Khan ousted from role as prosecutor of international criminal court

Member states vote to remove British barrister found to have committed serious misconduct over alleged sexual abuse

The prosecutor of the international criminal court, Karim Khan, has been removed from office after the court's oversight body found he had committed serious misconduct in connection to allegations of sexual abuse.

The ICC's member states voted on Friday to oust the British prosecutor in an unprecedented move that concludes a damaging episode for the court two years after the allegations were first raised.
