Hungarian lawmakers have voted decisively to maintain the country's membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC), overturning a previous decision by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The vote, which saw 133 out of 199 lawmakers in favor, comes just days before Hungary was set to become the only EU member state not to recognize the ICC's jurisdiction. Orbán had initiated the withdrawal process, labeling the ICC a 'political court,' during a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant. New Prime Minister Péter Magyar, elected last month, committed to reversing the withdrawal before it took effect on June 2. He framed the decision as crucial for global peace and human rights, stating that those accused of serious crimes must be held accountable. The ICC welcomed Hungary's U-turn, noting its importance for accountability in international law. This legislative shift indicates a significant change in Hungary's foreign policy, distancing itself from Orbán's previous alignment with countries that reject the ICC's authority.
