Petition for Human Rights

We,

as prejudiced free citizens of the Republic of Hungary,
as obstacled fellow countrymen in implementation of high hopes and intentions promised by the Declaration of National Co-operation, based on the

- the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
- the European Convention of Human Rights,
- the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU,
- the Declaration of National Co-operation,
and all the other treaties and documents concerning human rights signed and recognized by the Republic of Hungary

as signers of this document, turn to the constitutional initiative committee with the following concerns:

The signers respectfully ask the committee, the National Consultative Board and all political parties and representatives of the National Assembly involved in the work to review – by taking in account the legal sources listed above conferring equal rights and opportunities for all people – the present official position on the institution of marriage, which will adversely affect the Hungarian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (hereinafter referred to as LGBT community) by only recognizing it between man and woman.

Confirmed by the listed legal sources and principles, we fear, that the current proposal would cut off Hungary from the world’s observed law development route and thereby undermine the LGBT community in its efforts for achieving equal rights.

We believe that a democratic state should have no limitations in recognition and enforcement of human rights.

We believe that a constitution of a democratic state derives from permanent values that are the basis for lawmakers, law enforcers and the society as well.

We believe that a government promising changes and representing the nation’s values would not use the trust invested in it as tool of power wrangling.

We believe that we should all share the values of the constitution, which root in agreement.

We therefore respectfully urge the committee and all the representatives involved in the process to determine the concept of family and marriage in a manner that all Hungarian citizens whit mutual love and respect to each other ought to be entitled to put their lives on a basis of a long lasting community.
