In support of the Statement of the Presidency of the Assembly of States Parties on 25 May 2026, the International Criminal Court notes with appreciation the decision of Hungary to withdraw its notification of withdrawal from the Rome Statute with immediate effect, as formally notified by the Government of Hungary to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 29 May 2026.
The Court welcomes this important decision which signals Hungary's renewed commitment to the Rome Statute, as well as towards the objective of ending impunity for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole.
125 countries from all the regions of the world are States Parties to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The ICC is the first permanent, treaty-based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community, namely genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
