Viet Nam Human Rights
Vietnam contributes to success of UNHRC session
4/7/16
Vietnamese officials
have actively participated in discussion panels of the 32nd session of the
United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which concluded on July 1st with
34 resolutions approved.
Among the adopted resolutions,
Vietnam was the co-author of the resolution on the rights of children and climate
change, together with the Philippines and Bangladesh.
The resolution, introduced at the session’s
opening ceremony on June 13th by Vice State President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh,
received the ideas and support from numerous nations and organisations during
consultation rounds which lasted three weeks.
During the discussion process, Vietnam
affirmed that negative consequences of climate change hinder the enjoyment of
people’s rights, including the right to live, to receive healthcare, and to
develop.
In the country, climate change, especially
abnormal floods, drought and saline intrusion, claimed thousands of lives,
destroyed a great number of houses, schools, and infrastructure facilities
every year. It poses a challenge for food security for not only Vietnam but
also many countries importing food from Vietnam.
Based on Vietnam’s responsible ideas, the
UNHRC approved the resolution, affirming the international community’s
attention to the relationship between children’s rights and climate change.
Besides Vietnam, the Philippines and
Bangladesh, nearly 100 countries have registered to sponsor the resolution.
At the 32nd session, Vietnam also co-sponsored
five resolutions on youths and human rights, the right to education, the right
to food, the right to peace, and international unity.
The next session is scheduled for September in
Geneva, Switzerland, marking Vietnam’s completion of its 2014-2016 tenure as an
active and responsible UNHRC member./.
