Viet Nam Human Rights
The right to form association is respected in Vietnam
18/10/15
When
the National Assembly of Vietnam is preparing to review the Law on Association,
there are some opinions that remains "cautious" about freedom of
association because the idea of building law had been for a long time but so
far still in the building process! Even some the ideas in the name of
"democracy" proposed to have "civic space" for society and
do not have to control all associations and groups in society.
Indeed,
"the civil space" for society still exist. Since there was no Act of
Congress, there have been many active civic groups and associations in society
without control. Naturally, the activities of associations, groups must adhere
to the law, for its benefit and members. Those who form associations and groups
for activities contrary to national interests, or infringe upon the interests
and confidentiality of individuals, organizations and others in society,
countries will also be dealt with responsibility...
According
to the Interior Ministry, as of December 2014, there were 52.565 associations
with 483 associations operating on a national scale and 52.082 others on local
scope. 8.792 ones have specific characteristics, including 28 operating on
national scale and 8.764 associations operating on each local scope. Regarding
classification, some associations are defined as socio-political organizations,
socio-professional and 10 have the right to establish their own parties and
unions to lead the organization's activities. The remains are defined as
social-occupational or social -humanitarian organizations, operating under the
principles of voluntariness, which cover operational expenditure. 31 groups
conduct activities throughout the country.
The
freedom of association is not only recognized in the 1946 Constitution and the
2013 Constitution, as some people believe. This is one of the fundamental
rights of Vietnamese citizens which is recognized throughout all of the
Constitution by the National Assembly of Vietnam on ever.
Thus,
freedom of associations for Vietnamese citizens is always recognized in Vietnam's
Constitution. Moreover, the rights considered fundamental human rights in
international conventions including freedom of association is also guaranteed
and protected over the periods by the State of Vietnam. Vietnam Penal Code also
stipulates very clearly trespassing the rights of association, belief and religion
for citizens.

There are individuals who take advange of "civil society" against the State and Party of Vietnam
Those who form associations and groups for activities contrary to national interests should be stricly punished
it's important that the society is stable, equal and democracy, no need to be nessessarily "civil society".
I prefer to live in Vietnam because of political stability, not like in many countries where the wars, conflicts continuously arise, which lead to the loss of life and property
reccently some individuals and organizations have incited the forming of civil society modeled after the West in Vietnam
