Very clear statement #RuleOfLaw

MFA Austria @bmeia.gv.at · Apr 3

We regret Hungary’s decision to leave the Rome Statute, which will make Hungary the only EU Member State not party to the #InternationalCriminalCourt.
Hungary is moving one step further away from European unity, multilateralism and the rule of law.
