Abstract: In Hungarian Roundtable Negotiations held in 1989, the 4th Working Committee for political negotiation was set up to deal with the principles for the modification of the criminal law and the criminal procedure law. The committee was authorized to re-rule whether certain political behaviors are guilty according to the nation's request of promoting political system reform. The Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party and the Opposition Roundtable Delegation managed to achieve agreements on most issues. Subsequently, many amended terms were drawn based on the given laws and regulations. Meanwhile, the modification of the criminal law and the criminal procedure law passed by the Parliament helped to remove some political obstacles and create necessary legal conditions for Hungary to return to Europe and the European Union.

Key words: Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party, roundtable negotiations, criminal law, criminal procedure law
