The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, has been suspended pending a vote by member states on his status, the court’s governing body said on Monday, following a probe into accusations of sexual harassment made against him.

A diplomatic source briefed on the decision told Reuters that the court’s governing body’s executive bureau has ruled that Khan had committed serious misconduct following an 18-month-long probe into accusations that the prosecutor had non-consensual sexual interactions with a lawyer in his office. The source added that the bureau has recommended that the prosecutor be removed from office.

The ICC’s governing body will send its conclusion to all 125 ICC member states, who will vote on Khan’s fate in a special session convened at a later date.
