Ⓜ The election of the new prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), after the resignation of Karim Khan, will take place in December 2027, according to the Office's announcement of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute. The wording indicates that in February of next year, after the deadline for applications has passed, information on all candidates for the position will be published on the Assembly's website. Their files will be evaluated by the advisory committee for the appointment of ICC judges and by the Independent Oversight Mechanism, an auxiliary body of the Court responsible for verifying compliance with its rules. However, the Assembly is considering the possibility of changing the fiscal election timetable if "the process requires it".
