Statement by Foreign Minister Eide on Hungary’s decision to withdraw from the ICC

'Hungary’s decision to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) is deeply regrettable. In these turbulent geopolitical times, we need binding international cooperation and continued respect for the international legal order more than ever', said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.

'The ICC plays a key role in ensuring accountability for serious international crimes committed around the world. Norway has been a strong and consistent supporter of the ICC since its inception. I urge other countries to make their support for the ICC clear', said Eide.
