Parliament Approves Law to Keep Hungary’s Membership of the International Criminal Court

BUDAPEST, May ⁠27 (Reuters) – ⁠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.
