Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have voted to remove Karim Khan from his position as chief prosecutor, according to media reports citing wire services.
The decision, reached on Friday, ends Khan's tenure and sets the stage for a new leadership chapter at the Hague-based tribunal.
The vote reflects growing political pressure on the court, which has faced scrutiny over its investigations into high-profile conflicts.
Khan's removal is likely to influence the direction of future prosecutions and the court's relationship with member states, particularly those critical of its recent actions.
This development comes amid a broader period of uncertainty for international judicial bodies, as geopolitical tensions continue to shape global legal frameworks.
The ICC's next steps, including the appointment of a new prosecutor, will be closely watched by legal experts and policymakers.
