Council of Europe: Hungary does not limit LGBTI rights
“The Hungarian parliament should amend the law on the right of meeting, which in fact prohibits events such as the marches of Pride, and refraining from adopting legislative proposals that threaten the human rights of LGBTI people”. This is asked for the commissioner for human rights of the Council of Europe, Michael O’Flaherty, in a letter sent to the president of the National Hungarian Assembly, Lazlo Kover.
Commissioner O’Flaherty warns that to prohibit peaceful events that promote LGBTI equality violates the right to freedom of meeting, and that Cedu has already pronounced several convictions on this point. It also expresses concern about the Police power to use facial recognition to identify participants in events. O’flaherty is also “alarmed” by an amendment that would introduce a prohibition of legal recognition of the genre in the Constitution.
According to him, this would go against the obligations of hungary on respect for the European Convention of Human Rights and does not take into account the reality of intersex people and the diversity of gender identity. Finally, the commissioner “deplorates the amendment proposal that would eliminate the gender identity from the explicit list of the characteristics protected by anti -discrimination law”.
