The ICC Chief Who Wanted Putin Arrested Just Got Ousted Himself
Talk about a plot twist in global diplomacy—the man issuing arrest warrants for world leaders just got kicked out of his own office.
Karim Khan spent the last few years making headlines by going after heavyweights like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. But behind the scenes, things were getting incredibly ugly inside his own building.
An ICC lawyer accused him of repeated sexual harassment and abuse, describing a steady creep of unwanted physical and emotional boundary-crossing. When someone is literally everyone's boss at a global court, the power imbalance makes consent impossible.
Member states held a special vote at the UN, and 82 countries voted to officially remove Khan from office. His lawyers say he plans to fight the ruling through legal channels, but the chief prosecutor is officially gone.
The man who tried to put world leaders behind bars couldn't even follow basic rules in his own office.
