FM Szijjártó: UN Human Rights Council Must Be Non-political and Impartial
In a video address to the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said there was mounting criticism of the council’s work in terms of the politicisation of its initiatives and programmes.
In the session held online on Tuesday due to Covid, Szijjártó gave warning that the council should not turn into a forum in which certain people and countries “are constantly stigmatised”.
The minister called on the UN body to promote constructive international dialogue and cooperation. He said Hungary was committed to the protection of human rights, which he called “universal, inalienable, indivisible, interdependent and interconnected”.
