FROM THE 1945 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE TO THE 13TH NATIONAL CONGRESS OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF VIETNAM: THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS CONTENT IN A HISTORICAL AND INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION CONTEXT

Abstract

Human rights are a universal value recognized and protected worldwide. In Vietnam, the concept of human rights was affirmed in President Ho Chi Minh's 1945 Declaration of Independence, drawing inspiration from renowned international human rights declarations. This document served not only as a declaration of national independence but also as a declaration of human rights, asserting the rights to equality and freedom for all people. Throughout various historical periods, the Communist Party of Vietnam has continuously concretized and developed human rights values through numerous important documents. This article analyzes the evolution of the substance of human rights in Vietnam, from Ho Chi Minh's foundational ideas to the Congress Documents of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The study clarifies how Vietnam has adapted to social contexts, new challenges in international integration, and global development trends such as the digital economy, green transition, and the rights of vulnerable groups. These analyses contribute to deepening research materials on human rights in Vietnam, while also providing significant reference for the formulation and implementation of human rights guarantee policies in the current period.
