Viet Nam Human Rights
Ensuring Cultural Rights in Vietnam
27/4/15
Recently, at a Human Rights Council’s dialogue session, Special
Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Ms. Farida Shadeed has recognized the
outstanding results of Vietnam in the implementation of Millenium Development Goal, as well
as in improving Economic, Cultural and Social Rights; especially the expansion
of people’s access to education and culture in rural and remote areas.
Vietnamese people are able to enjoy
all values of culture
For years,
along with economic development and ensuring people’s life, our Party and
Government has always been taking care to raise up people’s cultural life.
Especially, after 17 years of implementation of
Resolution of the Communist Party of Vietnam’s Central Committee (eighth
tenure) on building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture deeply imbued with national identity and traditions,
Vietnamese culture now have significant improvements.
In the
subsidy period, due to economic difficulties, people had mainly worried about subsistence,
but in recent years, thanks to Doi Moi’s achievements and good economic growth,
Vietnamese people have more conditions to access to better traditional and
international values of culture.
In
development policy, beside investment in facilities to serve economic
development, business and production, all provinces in Vietnam have set a big amount of
budget to build cultural infrastructure, such as: culture house, library,
reading room, stadium, fitness house, entertainment parks... in order to better
serve people’s cultural and spiritual life.
Not only
people, who’re living in urban areas, have conditions to enjoy rich spiritual
life, but also people, who’re living in remote areas, particularly extreme
difficult areas like North West,
Central Highland, South West, now have been supported by Government in
circulation, policy and resources to maintain and develop the culture.
Clear legal basic and consistent policy
Importantly,
ensuring Cultural Rights in Vietnam
has been shown in political and legal facet. In the process of integration, the
Party has always paid much attention in ensuring cultural rights of the people,
therefore, the Party has improved much in opening policies, guidelines on
culture. One of milestone to clearly show is the fifth Resolution of the
Communist Party of Vietnam’s Central Committee, eighth tenure, in 1998. In
addition, to create legal basic for people to have better cultural life, in the
Constitution 2013 of The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the cultural
rights has been recognized as one of the most fundamental rights of human
being, it stated that: “Everyone has right to enjoy and access all cultural
values, participate to cultural life, use cultural facilities”. Through the
Constitution 2013, our State affirmed: People do not only need subsistence, but
also rights to enjoy traditional and international cultural values. Every
Vietnamese people, regardless of age, gender, class, ethnic, religion,
belief... have right to join in cultural activities depending on each person’s ability,
hobby, demand.
Vietnamese
Government also issued the "Culture Development Strategy from now to
2020", in which one the most highest goal is: “continue expand the results
achieved in building and developing culture, sport, especially in remote, mountainous
and border areas, islands, ethnic minorities. Remove white spots of culture in
all areas, particularly the spiritual life.”
It can be
confirmed that, with the Party and State’s consistent policies and specific
activities of Provinces, the cultural life of Vietnamese people, especially in
remote areas has been improving consecutively. This has shown the advanced
nature of our communist regime, which has solved properly the problem between
economic development and culture, material life and health spiritual needs of
the people. This is also “political commitment” of the Party and State to the
international community to ensuring Cultural Rights of Vietnamese people increasingly
more advanced.
