UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein addresses the Budapest Human Rights Forum. He addressed the forum through this recorded message raising the plight of people fleeing oppression. He described migrants and refugees as some of the most vulnerable people in the world. The Chief of Human Rights said: "Migration requires principled and human-rights centred governance, not billboard campaigns dripping with contempt, or high razor-wire fences patrolled by dogs." The Forum aims to provide a “meeting place” for national and international human rights experts representing international organizations, governments and the civil society to exchange views on various domains of human rights.
