Vietnam triumphs at UN human rights review: Official
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has approved Vietnam’s National Report under the fourth cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), with the country accepting a record 84.7% of recommendations, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Do Hung Viet has said.
He said at the September 27 session, Vietnam announced its decision to accept 271 out of the 320 recommendations – the highest percentage across all the four UPR cycles. This, he said, underscored Vietnam’s unwavering commitment to the UPR process and its dedication to protecting and promoting human rights. The session was attended by representatives of around 90 countries, international organisations, and NGOs, with the vast majority of delegates lauding Vietnam’s efforts and openness. The country provided updates on recent progress, particularly in legal reforms and socio-economic development, aimed at bolstering human rights.
