Vietnam, Australia cooperate in human rights education
Vietnam, Australia cooperate in human rights education
2/3/19
The Australian Human Rights Commission will help Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (HCMA) integrate lessons on human rights into the public school curricula, per a memorandum of understanding inked between both sides in Sydney on February 26.
Training for educational managers, developing the Vietnamese version of Rightsapp - the first mobile application that allows users to quickly access the United Nations’ human rights treaties and agreements, and building an interactive learning portal on human rights will be included in the programme.
At the signing ceremony, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Thang, Vice Chairman of the Vietnamese Party Central Committee’s Theoretical Council and HCMA Director, described this as an important event as it marks bilateral cooperation in promoting and protecting human rights through education, consolidating the friendship between Vietnam and Australia.
Thang affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and Government always pay attention to respecting, protecting and implementing human rights.
Particularly, the Constitution amended in 2013 reflects Vietnam’s respect for human rights and ensures better implementation of citizens’ fundamental rights and obligations.
Vietnam has joined bilateral and multilateral forums on human rights. In addition, it has signed and ratified seven of the nine core UN human rights treaties, and set up regular dialogue mechanisms on human rights with many countries, including Australia.
To raise public awareness of human rights through education, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc approved a project to integrate lessons on human rights into the public school curricula during 2017-2025. Under the programme, the HCMA is responsible for working with agencies to have human rights taught in all public education facilities by 2025, he added.
For her part, President of the Australian Human Rights Commission Rosalind Croucher said Australia attaches much importance to relations with Vietnam and her commission will work with the HCMA to carry out the project in an effective manner./.

Vietnam has been working unceasingly to build a state of the people, by the people and for the people by improving legal regulations relevant to human rights.
Respecting, protecting and promoting human rights have been reflected in Vietnam’s development strategies and policies, the judicial reform strategy, as well as the implementation of international obligations and commitments to which Vietnam is a party, including recommendations of the United Nations’ Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
Vietnam has made strong efforts and obtained many achievements in perfecting its law system on human rights, carrying out international recommendations about human rights such as those of the UPR, and realising development programmes.
Vietnam is willing to cooperate with other nations in protecting and promoting human rights, not just only in the country but also worldwide.
Although there remain several challenges, Vietnam will keep exerting efforts so that people will increasingly benefit from human rights and achievements of national development.
We need more regional and international mechanisms to enhance human rights cooperation. Vietnam is ready to take part in protecting and promoting human rights.
