Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary will not participate in the future operations of the International Criminal Court, a body "which has been degraded into a political tool and has lost its prestige."
Hungary's Parliament has voted to approve the country's withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on X.
The decision formalizes Hungary's intention, first announced in early April during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Budapest.
"Hungary is out. Today the Parliament voted to withdraw from the International Criminal Court. With this decision, we refuse to be part of a politicized institution that has lost its impartiality and credibility," - Szijjarto stated.
Once that decision is passed, a written notification will be sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The decision to quit will become effective a year later, he added.
As an ICC member, Hungary is obliged to arrest Netanyahu, but has not done so. Since the ICC has no police force, it cannot enforce its decisions and relies on other countries.
