Parliament approves law to keep Hungary's membership of the International Criminal Court
BUDAPEST - Hungary's parliament on Wednesday approved legislation to keep the country's membership of the International Criminal Court, reversing a decision taken in 2025 by the former government of Viktor Orban to quit the court.
Orban's government decided to withdraw from the ICC saying the court had become "political". Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who ousted Orban in elections last month, pledged to keep Hungary in the ICC.
