BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary will quit a U.N. migration pact before its final approval, it said on Wednesday, calling the agreement a "threat to the world".

The Global Compact For Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was approved on Friday by all 193 U.N. member nations except the United States, which pulled out last year.
