Member states of the International Criminal Court (the ICC, the world's only permanent international criminal court, established in 2002 to prosecute war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity) are set to vote Friday on whether to dismiss chief prosecutor Karim Khan over allegations of sexual misconduct, with a secret ballot requiring at least 63 of 125 member states to secure his removal. Khan, 56, denies any wrongdoing, and his lawyers have called the process unlawful and unsupported by evidence, pointing to a panel of independent judges who found insufficient grounds to establish the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. The vote compounds an already turbulent moment for the ICC, coming just one week after Washington announced a renewed campaign to dismantle the court — including potential diplomatic pressure on member states to withdraw — while the EU has reaffirmed its support and human rights groups have called the US offensive the most serious attack the institution has ever faced.
