Karim Khan is no longer the head prosecutor. Many states in New York decide this. 82 of 125 states vote for his firing. Khan is a lawyer from the UK. He is 56 years old. He works at the International Criminal Court in Den Haag.
A worker accuses him of sexual assault. He allegedly touches her without permission. Khan says he does nothing wrong. He calls the accusations a dirty campaign. A UN group checks the accusations. The group says the contact is not voluntary. Judges later find errors in this check.
Khan previously requests arrest warrants for important politicians. This includes Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. The USA and Israel do not like the court. They do not belong to the court. The USA even punishes court workers. Now the court searches for a new head prosecutor.
