The third message was that with its consistent policy on protecting and promoting human rights, Việt Nam has very seriously implemented the UPR recommendations that it accepted in the previous cycle and achieved numerous positive results, especially in perfecting the legal system and ensuring human rights in practice, thus bringing very practical results to its people. Assessing 320 recommendations that Việt Nam received from 133 countries during the dialogue, the official stated that most of them have positive contents and Việt Nam can accept them. But some need to be considered further in terms of compatibility with Việt Nam's laws, policies, resources and enforcement capabilities. As for the recommendations which are not really appropriate and based on inaccurate information about ensuring freedom of speech, press and assembly, Việt Nam will continue to hold dialogue and provide information to those countries so that they better understand the actual situation in Việt Nam, he said. Việt Nam will carefully study the recommendations and announce the country’s stance on them before the 57th session of the UNHRC.
