A/HRC/20/33/Add.1 discontent within the population and the current economic crisis to blame them for the insecurity and socio-economic difficulties endured by the population. 69. It is urgent to introduce the necessary safeguards against the anti-Roma and anti-Semitic discourse of Jobbik, which flouts human rights including the principles of non-discrimination and equality. In this regard political leaders and political parties should refrain from endorsing directly or indirectly the rhetoric propagated by Jobbik and ensure that respect for human rights and freedoms, democracy and the rule of law be the cornerstone of any programme or activity developed by political parties. 70. Finally while the Special Rapporteur notes the Government’s efforts to end the activities of extremist paramilitary organizations, he urges it to take more resolute measures to tackle the phenomenon of extremist paramilitary organizations targeting Roma, including through adequate prosecution and sanction of individuals belonging to such organizations who are responsible for racist violence against Roma. On migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and statelessness 71. The Special Rapporteur reiterates the recommendation accepted by the Government during its universal periodic review to establish and implement a comprehensive integration strategy for early stage integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. He recommends that the strategy include specific measures to prevent and eliminate racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance against migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, and duly take into account the situation of homeless refugees. In this regard the Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government fully cooperate with all the relevant actors, including civil society and UNHCR. 72. Regarding statelessness, the Special Rapporteur urges the Government to review the provisions of Act II of 2007, especially those provisions establishing legal stay in Hungary as a pre-condition for applying for stateless status, and ensure its full compliance with its international human rights obligations including the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, which has been ratified by the Government. 73. The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to take the necessary measures to put an end to the harsh conditions of detention of asylum seekers and illegal migrants, including acts of ill-treatment in detention facilities. He recalls that paragraph 30 of the Durban Programme of Action “urges States (b) to review and revise, where necessary, their immigration laws, policies and practices so that they are free of racial discrimination and compatible with States’ obligations under international human rights instruments; (d) to ensure that migrants, regardless of their immigration status, detained by public authorities are treated with humanity and in a fair manner, and receive effective legal protection and, where appropriate, the assistance of a competent interpreter in accordance with the relevant norms of international law and human rights standards, particularly during interrogation; (e) to ensure that the police and immigration authorities treat migrants in a dignified and non-discriminatory manner, in accordance with international standards”. He further recalls to the Government the recommendations accepted during its universal periodic review to reduce administrative detention of migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees, and only use it in exceptional cases; and to undertake measures aimed at avoiding the extension of administrative detention of asylum-seekers. 20
