Human rights orgs voice concern over Hungary’s new border rules
Change language:
Budapest (MTI) – The UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee have expressed concern over Hungary’s new border regulations that entered into force on Tuesday, saying that the law is too vague and could result in police violating the human rights of migrants.
Under the law, illegal entrants stopped within eight kilometres of the border will be escorted back over the border and offered an opportunity to apply for asylum at a transit zone. Migrants who comply with authorities, and apply for asylum, will not be expelled from the country and their appeals will be processed without delay.
The law also expands the list of refugee procedures that can be carried out at the border by police.
“We are concerned at the entry into force … of a law enabling the Hungarian police to escort irregular migrants found within eight kilometers of the border with Serbia to transit zones at the border,” the OHCHR said in a statement. The human rights office said the law “leaves too much room for interpretation” and could result in police breaching international law if they violate the rights of migrants.
