ICC prosecutor Karim Khan faces removal vote: What’s the case about?
That decision was made based on a UN investigative report, the advice of an ad hoc panel of judicial experts and written submissions, according to the ICC’s oversight body. How does the process work?For Khan to be fired, an absolute majority of at least 63 of the court’s 125 member states will have to agree in the secret ballot. The vote is due at about 3pm local time (19:00 GMT) and the result is expected to be announced at 5:30pm (21:30 GMT).If Khan is fired, that would immediately trigger the election process for a new ICC prosecutor who is not expected to be voted in before next year.
