Viet Nam Human Rights
2014: The promising year
9/2/14
Another
new spring has come to Vietnam,
brings new hopes for the country developments and the people’s daily life.
In
2013, Vietnam
exerted efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges, and achieved important
results, with better macroeconomics stabilization, higher growth and lower
inflation than 2012.
In
Vietnamese lunar calender, 2014 is the Year of the Horse and is expected to have big
changes and fast improvements in all aspects of life, especially in institution
renovation and promotion of the people’s right to mastery. This issue is
considered as one of the most important motivation for the country rapid and
sustainable development. In the beginning of 2014, Vietnamese people joyfully
receive lost of happy news.
First,
Vietnam
on November 12th 2013 was elected by the UN General Assembly to
become one of 14 new members of the UN Human Rights Council for the first time.
During the three year turn 2014-2016, Vietnam
will have the opportunity to work directly and responsibly to ensure and promote
human rights in Vietnam
and the world.
Second,
on January 1st 2014, Vietnam National Assembly adopted the amendment
of 1992 Constitution. Democracy is a major idea of late-President Ho Chi Minh,
who said Vietnam
is a democratic country where all power belongs to the people. The Communist Party
of Vietnam also affirmed that democracy is both a goal and momentum in national
construction and defense. In this spirit, the highest task for 2014 is to make
and revise laws in order to to implement the Constitution.
Third,
on February 5th 2014, Vietnam
for the second time successfully presented its Universal Periodic Review (UPR),
reviewing of the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental
freedoms in Vietnam.
The other members of the UN Human Rights Council, international organizations
and friends highly appreciate for Vietnam’s big achievements in
hunger eradication and poverty reduction.
These signs show that the Vietnamese Party and State always put the
people’s rights and daily life at top priorities in their policy. There are
still so much work must be done in 2014 and years after, but the
entire Party, army and people will try their best to build a society with highest democratic standard in the world.

As a Vietnamese, I feel freedom in our land!
I think the updated Constitution will create more space for everyone to fully develop their ability!
The Government conducted a nationwide referendum to amend 1992 Constitution.
I also hope the global economics gets back on track!
Vietnam is democratic country, Vietnamese people are so nice!
That's right Mr. Le Tin
