Hungary has decided - it is withdrawing

134 deputies voted for the decision by which Hungary renounces the Rome Statute after 23 years and withdraws from the International Criminal Court, 37 were against and 7 abstained.Submitting the proposal, the government stated that the court had become a political organization, deviating from its original purpose.&quot;Hungary strongly rejects the use of international organizations, especially criminal courts, as instruments of political influence,&quot; according to the bill submitted to the parliament by Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semj&eacute;n, reports Reuters.Although the member states of the European Union are members of this body, several countries (including China, Russia, Turkey, Israel and the United States of America) have not yet ratified the convention.Prime Minister Viktor Orb&aacute;n&#39;s government announced the move on April 3, shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#39;s visit to Budapest for which this court issued an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
