匈牙利外交部长西雅尔多20日说，匈牙利国会已投票批准该国退出国际刑事法院。
The Hungarian National Assembly has voted in favor of the country's withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on Tuesday.
西雅尔多当天在社交媒体上发布视频说，相关动议以134票赞成、37票反对、7票弃权获得通过。匈牙利政府将根据《国际刑事法院罗马规约》规程，将该决定通知联合国秘书长。
The motion passed with 134 votes in favor, 37 against, and seven abstentions. The government will formally notify the United Nations (UN) secretary-general of the outcome.
Hungary needs to send a note to the UN secretary-general to withdraw from the ICC because the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC, designates the UN chief as the depositary for formal notifications of withdrawal.
西雅尔多表示，国际刑事法院出于政治动机的运作方式引发人们对该法院公正性和可信度的担忧。匈牙利不能支持一个以政治偏见方式运作的机构。
Speaking in a video message posted on his official Facebook page, Szijjarto said the move was prompted by recent developments that have raised concerns over the court's impartiality and credibility.
设于荷兰海牙的国际刑事法院是依据2002年7月生效的《国际刑事法院罗马规约》设立的政府间组织，主要由西方国家推动和主导。
去年11月，国际刑事法院指控以色列总理内塔尼亚胡犯有战争罪并对其发出逮捕令。今年4月3日，在内塔尼亚胡到访匈牙利当天，匈牙利宣布决定退出国际刑事法院。4月下旬，西雅尔多向国会提交法案，提议匈牙利正式退出国际刑事法院。
Hungary announced plans to withdraw from the ICC in early April during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the country. Netanyahu faces an ICC arrest warrant over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
In late April, Szijjarto presented a bill to the National Assembly proposing Hungary's formal withdrawal from the ICC. Hungary is the first European Union member state to take formal steps toward exiting the ICC.
