Madani called on the Hungarian government to respect the international humanitarian law and the human rights of the refugees who were forced to escape from their country due to the civil war and the grievous human rights atrocities committed against them. In a contrary context, the Secretary General praised the positive action that was taken by the European Parliament when it voted in favor of relocating 120,000 refugees who are currently in Italy, Greece and Hungary.
