Exclusive: ICC bureau changes rules to lower threshold for Khan's removal
The ICC's Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) has changed the voting process for potentially removing Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan from a two-stage vote to a single vote, lowering the threshold for his removal. The ASP is set to vote on Khan's future on July 24, following the bureau's finding of 'serious misconduct' by a two-thirds majority, despite a judicial panel deeming the evidence insufficient. Khan has denied allegations of sexual misconduct.
