Unfounded allegation about Vietnam's Human rights (Part2 and end)
13/8/14
The second notable point
referred to “hindering freedom of
religion”. It should be confirmed immediately that
religion in Vietnam has never developed as strong as today.
Currently, many religions are in in the presence, especially the major ones in the world such as Christianity, Buddhism, Hoa Hao, Cao Dai, Muslim...
All religions are
admitted to law and
government at all levels create favorable conditions for religious people
hold ceremonies in accordance with
their wishes. Article 24 of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam says:
1. Everyone has the right to freedom of belief, religion or non-religion. The religion of
equality before the law.
2 The State respects
and protects the rights of freedom to
belief and religion.
3 No one can violate freedom of belief, religion
or misuse beliefs and religions to violate the law.
The political program for national
construction in the transitional
period to socialism (supplemented and developed in 2011) also stated: "Respect
and guarantee the freedom of belief and religion
for people under the provisions of law. To struggle and
strictly handle all violations of freedom to religion and
beliefs, taking advantage of religious to prejudice the
interests of the country and
the people”. Once again, we extract
the contents of the
political program for national construction in the transitional period to socialism (supplemented
and developed in 2011) and Article 24 of the Constitution
of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
to prove that the second point of the author in the article published on the BBC Vietnamese
had no basis,
he just got the vague,
unrealistic points. Maybe the author of
this article purposely did not know about the
religious situation in Vietnam to implement their plot against the State of Vietnam,
destroying the peace and happiness
of the Vietnamese.
The third point in this article referred to the so-called “forced
labor in drug rehabilitation centers”. It should be
stressed that the policy of the Party, the
State of Vietnam to establish drug
rehabilitation aims at bringing drug
addicts back to the community,
with relatives, family and society.
Thus, educating and cultivating the will, the
strength for the drug addicts to return to everyday life can not be called a “forced” activity. Everybody
knows that: A drug
addict not only harms
himself but also involves the normal life of
others, causing social
discontent. Such a
man needs social assistance,
who is conceived to become a normal person. It is the kindness of
the people and society of Vietnam.
Reading and reflecting from evidences in society in Vietnam
we can see clearly that the words
in the July 26 article posted on the BBC Vietnamese
included biased, unfounded opinions, even bad intention of a
person or a
group of people. They may also lack of information but they may also
deliberately refuse to learn
about the good things that is currently in Vietnam’s society.

Viet Nam's bid to join the Human Rights Council has its roots in the consistent policy of the Party and State on protecting and promoting human rights and actively participating in international cooperation in this field.
human rights are also a common aspiration of mankind and the fruit of human kind's struggle through many generations in vietnam
Vietnam introduced to other countries its consistent viewpoint and policy, the legal system as well as the most outstanding achievements regarding human rights
Viet Nam has made it clear that its policy has its origin in the aspiration for basic rights to freedom of the Vietnamese people, who used to be citizens of a colonial country.
One fact in Viet Nam's history is that human rights were included in the foreword of the Declaration of Independence that President Ho Chi Minh read to the country's people and the world on September 2, 1945.
Even in the harsh conditions of the resistance war, the Vietnamese State made great efforts to ensure the rights and interests of the people.
The nation's people have always been placed at the centre and been both the objective and the driving force in the development process and the cause of comprehensive reform in Viet Nam.
Human rights relating to civil and political matters are demonstrated clearly in the country's bustling political-social life.
In Viet Nam, 54 ethnic groups have maintained solidarity and mutual support throughout the nation's history of national construction and defence.
The Vietnamese Party and State's consistent policy is also clearly reflected in international partnerships in human rights protection and promotion.
