Hungarian foreign minister: UN's 'false legal interpretation' generating new migration waves

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Wednesday said the United Nations is "trying to create non-existing rights instead of enforcing basic human rights", thereby "generating migration waves that pose … serious security threats and risks to everyone". Speaking to MTI ahead of a UN meeting on African peace processes in New York, Szijjarto said there was a "desperate, politicised debate" going on within the organisation on what can be considered fundamental human rights. He said that if international law was to be interpreted literally, it was clear that those rights do not concern migration.
