When it comes to a progressive political institution, a civilized nation, it is impossible not to mention a political institution, whether or not it is concerned with ensuring the basic human rights.

The socialist political regime that Vietnam is trying to build and implement is a regime of the people, by the people and for the people. Therefore, since the establishment of the country under the socialist democracy regime, Vietnam has persisted in pursuing the goal of constantly ensuring human rights for all people.

Although it is not the first country to raise basic human rights issues, Vietnam is one of the few countries with early access to human rights. In the Declaration of Independence giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh declared: “All people in the world are born equal, all people are equal. have the right to life, the right to happiness and the freedom ".

Thus, by affirming that the values of a nation are equality, the right to life, the right to happiness, the freedom, President Ho Chi Minh wants to emphasize that human rights are only guaranteed when they are attached. with the independence and freedom of the nation.

The Vietnamese national slogan since the establishment of the revolutionary government has been consistent with the slogan: "Independence - Freedom - Happiness". That means, the goal of going forward as the whole nation perseveres to realize is to ensure the independence of the people, the people of freedom, and the people to be happy. This was once emphasized by President Ho Chi Minh, the National Liberation Hero, the more outstanding cultivator: "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom", and: "If the country is independent and the people if we don't enjoy the happiness and freedom, independence will not make any sense. "

Thus, if the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 10/12/1948, in which the top issue that this Declaration recommended to the international community and the nations the ethnic family must ensure "Freedom, justice and peace"; then the issue of freedom in President Ho Chi Minh's Declaration of Independence was raised three years earlier than the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights".

Recalling that, to see, with his vision beyond the times, Ho Chi Minh leader on behalf of the people and people of Vietnam has affirmed that Vietnam always respects human rights values and commits to implement. human rights before the international community.

Through many times of building and amending the Constitution, from the 1946, Constitution, 1959, 1980 and 1992 Constitutions to the 2013 Constitution, the fundamental issue is the constitution of human and public rights. people.

The Seventh Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam determined that the overarching goal is to build the country of Vietnam along the socialist path "Rich people, strong country, fair and civilized society", then to the next congress, the goal This was added: "Rich people, strong country, fair society, democracy, civilization" and then "Rich people, strong country, democracy, justice and civilization".

Supplementing the "democratic" criterion and putting the "democratic" criterion before the "fair and civilized" criterion is not only a matter of words, but actually the Party has established the right position and role. democracy - the connotation related to the right to be the owner and the right of the people to ensure the better and better human rights.

Due to two wars against imperial colonialism lasting over three decades (1945-1975) and influenced by the socio-economic crisis about ten years after the country's reunification, Although Vietnam is very concerned, Vietnam has not yet had favorable conditions to ensure the full realization of human rights.

However, since the renovation process has been carried out, over the past 30 years, Vietnam has become increasingly aware of and better ensured human rights in all fields of politics, civil and economy. , sociocultural.
