Hungarian Parliament Votes to Maintain Membership in International Criminal Court

27 Mayıs 2026The Guardian

Hungarian lawmakers have voted decisively to maintain the country's membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC), reversing a prior decision made under Viktor Orbán's government. This vote comes just before Hungary was set to become the only EU member state not to acknowledge the ICC's jurisdiction.
The new Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, has been vocal about his commitment to this reversal since taking office.
The International Criminal Court is crucial for prosecuting serious international crimes, including war crimes and genocide. Hungary's previous decision to withdraw from the ICC was seen as a move away from international cooperation and accountability, raising concerns among EU partners.
This decision marks a significant shift in Hungary's foreign policy and its relationship with international legal standards. By reaffirming its commitment to the ICC, Hungary is aligning itself with broader European values regarding justice and accountability.
