ICC 'in limbo' as chief prosecutor's fate uncertain ahead of member states assembly

The International Criminal Court is in a state of limbo as its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, faces an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct. A United Nations report on the probe, which Khan strenuously denies, has been delayed past its expected October submission date without any public explanation. This leadership crisis unfolds as the court's governing body prepares for its annual meeting amid unprecedented threats, including US sanctions over its investigation into Israel. With the prosecutor on leave and no clear timeline for a resolution, the court's ability to function and make critical decisions is being seriously undermined.
