Szijjarto calls on UN high commissioner to resign

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has called on the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid bin Ra’ad Zeid al-Hussein to resign after the high commissioner accused Prime Minister Viktor Orban of xenophobia and racism during a speech at the 37th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Monday. "This is unacceptable from an official of an international organisation; an unworthy and appalling accusation. The high commissioner should resign," Szijjarto said in his address. He told MTI that this was not the first time the high commissioner had made "accusations against Hungary" or had tried to make "Hungary appear as if it had the characteristics of the darkest of dictatorships."
