“The Hungarian Government rejects the UN Global Compact for migration and has exited the adoption process, and accordingly the Global Compact is not binding with relation to Hungary”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó informed the UN’s competent officials in a letter.
On Friday, the Ministry’s Minister of State Tamás Menczer informed Hungarian news agency MTI that the Global Compact for Migration is expected to be adopted at the meeting of UN heads of state and government in December in Morocco.
In view of the upcoming event, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó has written a letter to the global organisation’s relative leaders confirming that the Hungarian Government rejects the UN Global Compact for migration and has exited the adoption process, and accordingly it does not view the Global Compact is not binding with relation to Hungary.
In the letter, which was sent to the Director General of the International Organisation for Migration, the UN Special Representative for Migration, and the Mexican and Swiss Ambassadors responsible for the Global Compact, Mr. Szijjártó highlighted the fact that migration should be stopped, not organised.
“Assistance must be taken to where the trouble is, and people in need must be given support to enable them to remain as close as possible to their homes, and return home at the earliest opportunity”, he pointed out.
Mr. Szijjártó also drew attention to the fact that Hungary does not support the exchange of populations between continents, because it leads to the development of parallel societies and increases the threat of terrorism. The Foreign Minster also confirmed that by exiting the UN Global Compact for Migration “Hungary in no way regards its implementation as binding with relation to it”.
“In addition to the United States and Hungary, Austria has also declared its intention to exit the adoption process, and the Czech Republic is also considering not signing the document”, Mr. Menczer pointed out in the statement.
The Ministry also referred to the fact that during the negotiation of the Global Compact, Mr. Szijjártó stressed throughout: it is a false statement that migration is a fundamental right, and that immigration is a positive and unstoppable phenomenon. In contrast, migration is a dangerous and bad process that must be stopped.
Hungary has already proven that migration can be stopped, “the security of the Hungarian people is the primary concern of the Hungarian Government; Hungary will never become an immigrant country”, the statement reads.
