In addition to the achievements, the Head of the Steering Committee on Human Rights of Hau Giang province also frankly acknowledged that human rights work in the province still has limitations such as:
Awareness of the issue of “human rights” and the work of protecting and fighting for human rights among a number of cadres and party members of departments and localities is still low. Coordination and information exchange between agencies, departments and organizations is sometimes not timely and consistent.
Propaganda about achievements in ensuring human rights is still limited and irregular, the content of propaganda is not deep and has no specific orientation; the work of directing, managing information, fighting and refuting wrong and hostile arguments and viewpoints is sometimes passive.
Therefore, the Head of the Steering Committee on Human Rights of Hau Giang province hopes that this Human Rights Training Conference will help delegates and trainees to grasp and disseminate some basic contents about the Party's viewpoints and guidelines, the State's policies and laws on human rights protection; the plots, methods and tricks of hostile forces taking advantage of human rights issues to sabotage Vietnam; and equip them with necessary knowledge for sectors and levels to apply in practical work.
At the Conference, delegates were presented by reporters from the Institute of Human Rights, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and the Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs on the topics: "Human rights and limitations of rights"; "Workers' rights in international conventions/treaties on human rights that Vietnam has participated in or signed".
In his closing speech at the Conference, Colonel Nguyen Van Thang, Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department, Deputy Head of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Steering Committee on Human Rights, requested members of the Steering Committee, leaders of departments, branches, organizations, People's Committees of districts, towns, cities, People's Committees of communes, wards, and towns and the Police force to continue advising the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee to effectively implement socio-economic development programs, in conjunction with the implementation of policies on gratitude, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, social security, care for the material and spiritual life of the people, creating people's trust in the Party and the government; directing specialized agencies to organize dissemination for officials, civil servants, officers and soldiers to grasp the basic contents of the Conference.
At the same time, promoting the role and responsibility in the work of fighting and protecting human rights, identifying human rights work and national security protection as the tasks of the political system, in which the Public Security force is the core; departments, branches and People's Committees of localities pay attention to and coordinate with the Public Security force in advising on the implementation of directives and resolutions of the Party, policies and laws of the State, instructions of the Central Ministries and Branches on the work of protecting and fighting for human rights, promoting information and propaganda work on the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws related to human rights, contributing to raising awareness, responsibility, and vigilance for cadres, Party members and people against slanderous and distorted allegations about the human rights situation in our country in general and in the province in particular.
