Parliament, in an exceptional procedure on Wednesday, adopted with 133 votes in favor, 37 against and five abstentions the law on the withdrawal of the revocation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, adopted by the United Nations Diplomatic Conference in Rome on 17 July 1998, and the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Criminal Court, adopted in New York on 10 September 2002.
As MTI reports, the legislation, submitted by Justice Minister Márta Görög, states that to maintain international peace and security and to protect human rights, it is essential to hold the perpetrators of the most serious international crimes accountable before an international judicial forum.
To this end, it is necessary to maintain Hungary's participation in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the legislation's reasoning states.
The 2025 law on Hungary's withdrawal from the International Criminal Court will lose its validity.
According to the justification, the submission is not only a revocation of a previous decision that contradicted the value system of the international community, but also a declaration that the values of justice, human dignity and international cooperation continue to serve as guiding principles for Hungary.
