A consisting of retirement process

The retirement process from the International Criminal Court is not fast and requires a process that lasts at least a year. According to Rome’s constitution, the founding and anchored document of the Tribunal, a state that seeks to retire should file a written notice to the UN Secretary -General, and the retirement enters only a year later.

According to Hungary, Urban raised the possibility of Hungary’s retirement from the tribunal in February this year, after US President Donald Trump imposed sanctions on the court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan.-X his.

 

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar today issued a message in which he admitted to the urban and his government members, and that he discussed the move extensively during the recent period with his Hungarian colleague Peter Siro.

The legal meanings

As a founding company of the International Criminal Court since 2001, Hungary has been a theoretical commitment to the arrest and closure of anyone who finds an arrest warrant against him by the Tribunal. However, Goliesh last November claimed that although Hungary has been allegedly allegedly the tribunal’s constitution, she “has never become part of the Hungarian Law,” which means that none of the tribunal’s steps can seem to be carried out in Hungary.

However..

Netanyahu’s invitation to Hungary was openly, as a tribute to the arrest order issued by the tribunal against him. The day after the order was issued in November 2024, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Urban, a close friend of Netanyahu, invited him to visit, saying that the ruling “will have no influence” in his country. Urban called the decision of the court “cheeky, cynical and unacceptable”, and promised Netanyahu that would not stop.

This is not the first time the company state in the international criminal court has not enforced an arrest warrant against a foreign leader who visits it. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who issued an international arrest warrant against him in March 2023.

This Hungary’s move is joining a long line of moves, which have been accelerated since Trump’s entry into the White House, against official international institutions and organizations. This step, alongside Trump’s sanctions, can severely harm the reliability and authority of the tribunal. In addition, Trump has also left the World Health Organization and Paris Agreement for Climate, which also led to Argentina’s side led by President Habir Millie.
