 The Vietnamese delegation took an active part at the just-concluded 30 th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) in Geneva, Switzerland, contributing opinions to annual debates, thematic sessions and dialogues as well as talks on the session’s draft resolutions.

Ambassador Nguyen Trung Thanh, Head of Vietnam’s Permanent Mission to the UN, the World Trade Organisation and other international organisations in Geneva, delivered a number of important speeches at final debates on October 1-2, which focused on how to ensure and promote human rights and the needs for technical support in regional countries, including Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.

The diplomat commented on the efforts and commitments of relevant countries, stressing their need for cooperation and support, thus calling on the international community to engage in sincere dialogue and provide effective assistance for those countries.

He also reiterated Vietnam’s viewpoint that cooperation and support should conform to basic principles of international law and the UN Charter in order to bring peace, prosperity and social harmony for sustainable development to all countries.

The HCR’s 30th session passed 21 out of 32 draft resolutions by way of consensus, which concentrated on issues of great concerns in the field of human right protection and promotion, such as national policy and human right, regional cooperation institutions and human right, improving the efficiency of HRC’s operation, pandemic prevention and human right, and international cooperation in ensuring right of vulnerable groups.

HRC also approved by voting 11 resolutions on contentious issues, including those on Syria. The 30 th session marked two thirds of Vietnam’s three-year tenure as an official member of the HRC.

It also marked Vietnam’s two consecutive years working as ASEAN Coordinator in the HRC, contributing to promoting image and role of the bloc in the UN’s largest forum on human right.-VNA
