Hungary Suspends Withdrawal from International Criminal Court
Hungarian MPs voted to remain in the International Criminal Court, suspending a prior decision to withdraw. The move came after a new government took office and submitted legislation to reverse the previous administration’s plan.
Hungarian MPs voted to remain in the International Criminal Court. The new government, formed by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, submitted a bill to parliament to suspend Hungary’s withdrawal from the ICC. Hungary was poised to become the only EU member state not to recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC. The vote reversed Orbán’s withdrawal decision. Viktor Orbán announced in April last year that Hungary would begin the process of pulling out of the ICC. Orbán called the ICC a political court. He made the announcement about withdrawing from the ICC while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant. According to the Guardian, Péter Magyar vowed to reverse Hungary’s withdrawal from the ICC before it took effect.
