Hungary's Parliament Approves Law to Retain Membership in International Criminal CourtPreviousNext

Hungary's parliament approved legislation on May 27 to maintain the country's membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC), reversing the 2025 decision by former Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government to withdraw. Orban's administration had criticized the ICC as becoming "political." The current Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, who replaced Orban after recent elections, pledged to halt the withdrawal and keep Hungary in the ICC.
