Countering arguments that deny the right to freedom of belief and religion in Vietnam
Friday, October 10, 2025, 08:34 (GMT+7)
In Vietnam, “respect for freedom of belief and religion” represents a consistent policy of our Party and State; it is guaranteed by a legal system and reflected in the people’s diverse, harmonious belief and religion life. However, the issue of religion has always been at the forefront of hostile force’s “peaceful evolution” strategy. Taking advantage of the sensitivity of belief and religion in the people’s mental life, hostile forces have spread many wrong arguments
Beware of calls for political regime change in Vietnam

Human rights above sovereignty - a dangerous illusion
Thursday, October 10, 2024, 08:37 (GMT+7)
Human rights, while universally acknowledged, are also deeply rooted in the cultural and historical context of individual nations. Hostile forces, however, have sought to exploit this, absolutising the concept of human rights and asserting “human rights above sovereignty”. This dangerous tactic aims to destabilise political environments and provide a pretext for unwarranted interference in the internal affairs of independent states. Such a claim is unfounded and must be unequivocally refuted

Practice has proven that, since joining the ICCPR Convention in 1982, Vietnam has always strived to synchronously implement policies and solutions to ensure civil and political rights for citizens and has obtained many important and comprehensive achievements on all fronts. This is not only the obligation and responsibility of membership in the Convention, but also the consistent goal of the Party and State of Vietnam to bring a good life to the people.
Ridiculous distortions about democracy, human rights, and social networks in Vietnam
Friday, July 01, 2022, 13:46 (GMT+7)
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of information are considered basic principles for a democracy, even as "oxygen" in a democratic and developed society, but not recognised as an absolute right by the international community. The exercise of the right to freedom of expression comes with special obligations and responsibilities, may be subject to certain limitations set forth in law, and is necessary to respect the rights or reputations of others; protect national security or public order, the health or morals of society.
Defamation of officials - the "old wine in new bottle" trick of hostile forces
Thursday, March 24, 2022, 13:52 (GMT+7)
Now and then, slandering and defaming others are considered acts of "mean people", but they are tricks favoured by subversive forces against Viet Nam. Their purposes are to discredit cadres, especially senior leaders of the Party and State, causing internal divisions, creating discord in society, and undermining people's trust. These tricks of "old wine" in "new bottle" are very dangerous which should be identified and eliminated as soon as possible
Absolute freedom of religion – an unreasonable claim
Thursday, July 29, 2021, 07:52 (GMT+7)
According to legal documents of the United Nations, although it is a basic human right, the right to freedom of belief and religion is not an absolute but a relative and limited right. This is clearly stated in Article 29 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and the Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966).

The Military Party Committee and the Provincial Military Command always have many practical and effective leadership guidelines and measures; in particular, promoting legal propaganda, dissemination and education for troops and people is a very important solution to maintain political security, social order and safety, and to build firm “people’s heart and mind posture” in the province.

In the history of mankind in general and of Vietnam in particular, very rare social revolutions could meet all three historical demands of a nation at time like the August Revolution 1945.
Cybersecurity Law - an important guarantee of human rights enforcement in Vietnam
Thursday, January 10, 2019, 21:11 (GMT+7)
The Cybersecurity Law (hereafter the Law) was passed by the 14th National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the 5th session on June 12th 2018, and made effective since January 1st 2019. The hostile forces constantly resist against the advent of the Law, which proves that the Law is an important guarantee in implementing the rights and obligations of citizens in our country
