I wonder what consequences could arise from this. Would be funny if Orban found himself with an international arrest warrant on his arse as accessory to war crimes.
I’d wager they are even more useless. Speaking of the UN, people tend to forget that the UN fundumentalny changed the way the world works, arguably more through their score of daughter organizations like WHO, UNICEF, ICAO or IMF than through the General Assembly. And as long as no veto power was involved, the UNSC did aid in the resolution of several conflicts. It’s only the UNSC that gets useless as soon as a veto power goes rogue. That was the price to pay to have got it working in the first place - and we are paying it today, especially Ukraine.
The ICC on the other hand is more of a declaration of intent. A valuable declaration, but not much more.
That’s the problem of pretty much any international organisation, their power only reaches as far as their member states can (and are willing to) carry it.
Wouldn’t Hungary as signatories to the ICCs Rome Statute be legally required to arrest that wanted war criminal the moment he steps on their soil?
Hungary is exiting ICC supposedely, since Orbán hosted Netanyahu.
Surely we can trust Hungary to do the right thing. I’ll even go so far as to say they are gonna do the far right thing.
They should, but you know how much they paid Orban to worship anything putin does.
So they won’t.
Maybe someone should take matters into their own hands…

ICC is a joke. Nobody cares about it and ICC is completely lacking any means to force their “warrants”. The same level of uselessness as the UN.
