Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, has been suspended following serious misconduct allegations. This comes after an 18-month probe concluded with the ICC's executive bureau recommending his removal.

The governing body will put Khan's future to a vote among the 125 member states in a special session.

Khan, who has been on leave since May, strongly denies the charges, describing the decision as unlawful and procedurally unfair. Two reports offer conflicting views on the allegations' substantiation.
