Hungary’s parliament has voted in favour of withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC), Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said.
‘The Hungarian parliament has just voted in favour of withdrawing from the ICC,’ he wrote on social media X.
Szijjártó stressed that Budapest refuses to be part of a politicised institution that has lost its impartiality and credibility.
Earlier, the Hungarian foreign minister said that parliament could vote in favour of leaving the ICC at the end of May, with the decision coming into force a year later.
Dmitry Bunevich, a political scientist and advisor to the director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, spoke to RT about the reasons why the Hungarian authorities decided to leave the ICC.
