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 OrbΓ‘n 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...
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.
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.
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.
This looks a lot like Anchorage II: a celebration of Putin managing to play Trump for a fool, and the beginning of more months of the same.
Is it even necessary to play an actual fool for a fool, though?
I think you are mistaken:
I think the real reason for the Putin-Trump meeting in Orban's territory, is so that they can side with each-other, against the world, together.
Not to setup the entire deal, but to put-in-place the foundation for that Putin-Trump alliance, to destroy NATO.
There will have to be more developments, before they can make that strong-enough to openly display, but the foundation is what I believe they're going to be putting in-place, this time.
Remember the Kremlin Papers..

Itβll be interesting to see if Putin considers it worth pulling out of Ukraine to let Trump crow about winning in a bid to keep a friendly party running the US.
Why should Putin be friendly to his meat puppet? Heβs already got him by the balls.
LMAO
Can Hungary guarantee Putin's security? Meeting on a military base far away was clever. I can't imagine that there is not somebody who is tempted to deliver the world from that evil.

As tempting as this thought may be it would be the start of a nuclear WWIII and the end of modern civilisation. So... lets hope that nobody follows his intrusive thoughts.
Not necessarily. The only one who is risking nuclear war is the one who pushes the button. Not even the one giving the order.
Russia has been provoking NATO on all sorts of sides. Killing politicians, invading airspace, invading sovereign nations, threatening with nukes.
Killing putin can be seen as self defense.
The only one who is risking nuclear war is the one who pushes the button. Not even the one giving the order.
You mean politicians and dictators cannot be war criminals because they never pull the trigger?
I agree, but I also believe that enough are willing to take that risk.
And this is the scary part...
Prime oppurtunity to get the etsy witches involved again
Prague next?
Why Prague?
I expect this to be the Sarajevo of WW3.
Lots of windows.
