Abstract

This article analyzes and assesses Vietnam’s civil law for the promotion and protection human rights, the successes and limitations of their implementation in practice. The research findings show that over the past years, the Civil Code has laid a firm ground for remarkable successes in the promotion and protection human rights, especially, not only of Vietnamese but also foreigners living and working in Vietnam. The code is deemed compliant with international human rights conventions, laws and practices. In the Civil Code, however, there remain some certain limitations. For example a number of provisions of the current Civil Code fail to meet the human rights legislation or do not really create favourable conditions for the promotion and protection human rights in the economic and social domains. Our objective aims to outline the theoretical bases and analyze, assess regulations on human rights provided for in the Civil Code of Vietnam at present, thence proposing some solutions for improving legal regulations and contributing to ensure human rights in the legal system of Vietnam in general and in the Civil Code in particular.
