Karim Khan

Karim Khan is a British lawyer and the third Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a role he assumed in 2021. He holds over three decades of legal experience, navigating some of the world’s most complex international war crimes and human rights cases. In June 2026, accused of sexual misconduct, he was suspended from his position pending further investigation. He denies all charges and says the allegations against him are politically motivated. The ICC said its decision to suspend Khan was “not an indication of the final outcome.” The organization’s governing body, the Assembly of State Parties, will decide Khan’s status.
