Hungary joins US, gets out of UN
Migration compact. Posted by Ann Corcoran on July 19, 2018.
No mention in UN compact of “fundamental
human rights of people who want nothing else than to be able to live in peace
and security in their own homelands.”
Good
for Hungary! Let’s hope other countries join them and the US in bailing out of the pact, whose work began at that Obama-led UN pow-wow in the fall of 2016.
From
the New York Times: Hungary
pulled out of a United Nations global agreement on migration on Wednesday,
citing security concerns, just days after the accord was reached.
Come on Donald, what are you waiting
for, invite Prime Minister Orban to Washington!
Peter
Szijjarto, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade, announced the
withdrawal at a news conference in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, saying the
agreement was “in conflict with common sense and also with the intent to
restore European security.”
Hungary
joined the United States as one of two United Nations members that are not
committing to the agreement, the first of its kind to lay out international
standards for countries to address migration. The agreement — the Global
Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration — was announced on Friday.
United
Nations officials say the accord is intended to preserve the human rights of
all migrants by offering a framework for national governments devising their
own policies on migration.
Hungary,
which has long called for stricter policies on European migration, had
expressed concerns over the agreement during negotiations. Mr. Szijjarto said
the accord did not address the “fundamental human rights of people who want
nothing else than to be able to live in peace and security in their own
homelands.”
It is about global cooperation, yeh
sure! The compact itself was driven in part by the 2015 crisis that saw
European nations struggle to cope with large numbers of migrants entering the
Continent. While
the number of new arrivals has dropped significantly, the debate about
migration has grown heated in Europe. The rise of anti-immigration, populist
governments in Italy, Austria and Hungary has added fuel to the debate.
Amina
J. Mohammed, the United Nations deputy secretary general, speaking after the
agreement was announced on Friday, said the compact was intended to foster
global collaboration.
The agreement is expected to be formally adopted in December during a
conference in Marrakesh, Morocco.
The
last thing the UN wants is more governments standing up for their national
sovereignty, for their own people!
Saying
America First! Hungary First! is like waving a red cape before a bull!
And, I suspect that Trump’s America First message is at the root of why the
Left and the media hate him so much.
