BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary said Thursday it will begin the procedure of withdrawing from the world’s only permanent global tribunal for war crimes and genocide.
“Hungary will withdraw from the International Criminal Court,” Gergely Gulyás, who is Prime Minister Viktor Orbán chief of staff wrote in a brief statement. “The government will initiate the withdrawal procedure on Thursday, in accordance with the constitutional and international legal framework.”
The announcement came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, despite an international arrest warrant against him over his conduct of the war in the Gaza Strip.
Fash supports fash.
When will these scumbags be prosecuted for their terror attack on Lebanon?
This step is not just for Netanyahu. It is likely also for Putin, who will soon be invitable for Hungary. Netanyahu, Trump and Putin are working towards the extreme right in Europe, and i think that Hungary will take the initiative to help building this Axis.
That is very possible. However Germany was also very enthousiastic about defying Netanyahu’s arrest warrant.
We’re taking notes. We like listening.
Problem is, Hungary never learns from their history being on the wrong side of it.
As they are currently, at the time of his visit, still a member, that means anyone in hungary that has the chance to but doesnt arrest netanyahu is themselves committing a crime no? This shid is complicated so i have no idea tbh
It would be a breach of the obligations Hungary has under the Rome statute, not a crime.
The ICC will probably start a case and will come with a statement that Hungary has not acknowledge the authority of the court.
Step two, remove them from the EU
I was going to say “drop kick” but remove has a nice professional sound to it too.
