Member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) are due to convene in New York City on 24 July for a consequential vote on the disciplinary proceedings involving prosecutor Karim Khan, Middle East Eye can reveal.
Multiple diplomatic sources have confirmed that the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), the governing body of the court, decided on Wednesday the date and place of the special session to allow the 125 members of the ICC to vote on allegations of misconduct against the prosecutor.
The bureau, a political body, suspended Khan on 8 June by a qualified majority after disregarding a judicial panel's opinion that found no evidence of misconduct.
The ASP is the competent decision-maker for voting on a final determination of the misconduct allegations and whether to remove him from office. States are asked to vote on whether Khan committed serious misconduct, less serious misconduct or no misconduct at all.
