Member states voted 15-4 to advance proceedings after UN investigators found a factual basis for sexual misconduct allegations against Karim Khan.

- The ICC, comprising 125 member states, faces mounting institutional pressure amid investigations into Khan and sanctions imposed over Israeli officials' alleged war crimes.
