N. agencies are denouncing proposals by Hungary's government to tax and penalize groups that assist migrants inside the country. Spokesman Rupert Colville of the U. N.'s human rights office says Hungary's legislative proposals could cause an "unjustified restriction" on the right to freedom of association. He said they could "stigmatize" civil society groups and drive them into lengthy bureaucratic hurdles — and even possible dissolution — under Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government.
