INCLO welcomes EU court ruling on Hungary’s anti-NGO law

All 15 member organizations of the ​International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations (INCLO)​ join the Hungarian community of civil society organizations to welcome the decision of the European Court of Justice​, which ruled last week that Hungary’s anti-NGO law violated European Union law.

INCLO expresses concern about the NGOs and other civil society actors in countries across the world
who often become the target of public vilification, hostile legislation, arbitrary enforcement,
surveillance, and in more extreme cases, freedom of movement restrictions, intimidation and arrest.
INCLO calls on governments to revoke hostile legislation against NGOs and refrain from adopting laws
adversely affecting their legitimate activities, having a chilling effect on freedom of expression and
association.
