ICC and Hungary – Do We Know Each Other?
It is widely known that all EU member states are parties to the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The European Union and its member states have been among the institution’s most significant proponents since its creation. Among other things, the EU and the ICC pledged to cooperate in an international treaty. However, it is perhaps less well-known that Hungary, despite ratifying the Statute as early as the end of 2001 (during Viktor Orbán’s first cabinet), has not yet incorporated it into its legal system by promulgating it as an Act of Parliament.
