The EU has warned it could take legal action against Hungarian legislation cracking down on higher education, non-governmental organisations and asylum-seekers.
The Hungarian Government is in violation of the provisions of Article 18, Paragraph 1, of the UN Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion." Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights take precedent over regimes and sovereigns. Ensuring human safety is the most basic and urgent duty of constitutional guarantors. This extends to carrying out constitutional reform to keep up with changing times, so that governments worldwide will protect their citizens from fear. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
