ICC per aprire l’indagine sulla visita di Budapest di Netanyahu

Nothing will happen. Fascist Netanyahu is protected.

For now, at least.

I thought Hungary left the icc on the same day netanyahu arrived?

Edit: ah, it takes a year to leave it after you announce it.

Are they going to the same to Mongolia for welcoming Putin, or is this proof that once again rules only applies to western nations?

**The International Criminal Court (ICC) has launched non-compliance proceedings against Hungary for failing to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.**

The announcement follows the ICC’s demand for Hungary to clarify its [failure to detain Netanyahu](https://tvpworld.com/85968449/israeli-pm-defies-international-arrest-warrant-to-visit-hungary) during his visit to Budapest in early April. 

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in March that Hungary will [withdraw from the ICC](https://tvpworld.com/85970214/hungary-withdraws-from-international-criminal-court-after-welcoming-israeli-pm-). 

Speaking on a local radio station the PM said that the ICC is “[no longer an impartial court, not a court of law, but a political court](https://tvpworld.com/85972472/orbn-blames-political-bias-for-hungary-quitting-intl-court).” 

Hungary extended a warm, red-carpet reception to Netanyahu, despite an ICC arrest warrant issued against him for alleged crimes against humanity related to the Gaza conflict, Euro News reported.

Orbán pushed back against Hungary’s inaction regarding Netanyahu’s arrest, pointing out that Hungary’s parliament had not incorporated the ICC’s statute into national law. ICC judges have historically rejected such defenses. 

“We signed an international treaty, but we never took all the steps that would otherwise have made it enforceable in Hungary,” the PM said.

Hungary’s planned exit from the ICC, which will take at least a year, will position it as the only non-signatory among the European Union’s 27 member states, Euro News reported. 

Of the 125 countries currently bound by the ICC, only the Philippines and Burundi have previously withdrawn. 

This is now the third instance in the past year that the ICC has scrutinized a member state for failing to apprehend suspects. 

In February, the court questioned Italy’s decision to repatriate a Libyan man accused of torture and murder on a military plane instead of transferring him to the ICC. 

In October, judges referred Mongolia to the court’s oversight body for not arresting Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit.

Some political commentators have pointed out that while the ICC can call out violations and in some cases leverage international diplomatic pressure, its capability of enforcement remains weak.

Hungary has been given until May 23 to present evidence in its defens
