Hungary to withdraw from ICC, government says during Netanyahu visit

ai generated text

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Hungary, a rare welcome in Europe, amid an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza. The move comes as Hungary considers withdrawing from the ICC, with Orban saying the court has become too politicized.

  1. Assembly of States Parties
    1. When a State Party withdraws from the Rome Statute [that established the ICC], it clouds our shared quest for justice and weakens our resolve to fight impunity.
  2. EG
    Fadi El-Abdallah
    International Court of Justice
    1. The court recalls that Hungary remains under a duty to cooperate with the ICC.
  3. HU

    1. Hungary exits the International Criminal Court. The government will initiate the withdrawal procedure on Thursday, in accordance with the constitutional and international legal framework.
  4. BE
    Liz Evenson
    Human Rights Watch
    1. All ICC member countries need to make clear they expect Hungary to abide by its obligations to the court, and that they will do the same.
    2. We are living now in a world full of turmoil, war and uncertainty, in which international institutions are not always appreciated by every government.
    3. Allowing Netanyahu's visit in breach of Hungary's ICC obligations would be Orbán's latest assault on the rule of law, adding to the country's dismal record on rights.

    1. Prime Minister Netanyahu is an alleged war criminal, who is accused of using starvation as a method of warfare, intentionally attacking civilians and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. Hungary's invitation shows contempt for international law and confirms that alleged war criminals wanted by the ICC are welcome on the streets of a European Union member state.
    2. European and global leaders must end their shameful silence and inaction, and call on Hungary to arrest Netanyahu.
  6. IL
    Moshe Klughaft
    1. At first, he's flying to places where there's no risk of arrest, and in doing so, he's also paving the way to normalise his future travels.
