The Plot to Oust Karim Khan: ICC Moves to Sidestep Judicial Reports

The International Criminal Court is careening toward a major internal crisis. On Monday, June 8, its governing body will vote on whether to push out Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. It's a messy situation: a panel of judges already looked at the evidence back in March and said there wasn't enough to prove misconduct, but the Bureau seems ready to ignore them. With Khan leading high-stakes probes into Gaza, the move looks less like an HR matter and more like a political power play that could shatter the court's independence.
