Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are set to vote on whether to remove chief prosecutor Karim Khan over allegations of sexual misconduct.

The vote, scheduled for Friday, comes amid heightened tensions as the US intensifies its campaign against the ICC, which it views as a threat to sovereignty.Khan, 56, denies wrongdoing, while his accuser, a junior ICC staffer, claims a power imbalance made a consensual relationship impossible.Legal experts argue the allegations lack sufficient evidence, but the vote could further erode the ICC's credibility.The decision may trigger an election for a new prosecutor and deepen internal divisions within the court.The US has threatened diplomatic pressure on nations to withdraw from the ICC, while the EU and other members remain supportive.The outcome could impact the ICC's legitimacy and its ability to address atrocities globally.
