BUDAPEST, May 27 (Xinhua) -- Hungary's National Assembly on Wednesday voted under a special procedure on a bill to revoke the country's decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The bill was approved with 133 votes in favor, 37 against and five abstentions. The decision will take effect on the day following the promulgation of the law.
The Hungarian government said in an official gazette on May 22 that it would revoke the decision to withdraw from the ICC, as well as terminate measures related to ending the Rome Statute and agreements on the court's privileges and immunities.
Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar submitted the bill to parliament on Tuesday on behalf of the government.
Hungary had previously taken steps to withdraw from the ICC. The government announced its decision to withdraw from the ICC on April 3, 2025. The parliament later voted in favor of the withdrawal on May 20 of the same year. ■
