GENERAL VIEW ABOUT THESIS RESEARCH
1.1. The overseas research
Through some examined research works, it is confirmed that the roles
of court in human rights protection are researched in many countries in the
world. Some research works have made the remarkable contributions in
clarifying the position, role of court in protecting human rights and basic
elements to ensure this judicial position of court. These research results are
considered as the important theoretical and practical basis as scientific
foundation for the author to build theoretical basis and evaluate the roles of
court in human rights protection in Vietnam. In the scientific values
inherited by the thesis, ensuring judicial independence and legal judging
right of legislative and excutive power are concerned specially.
1.2. The research in Vietnam
The examined research works mainly mention the requirements of
jurisdiction state for the judicial power, the position and role of the court in
the control of state power and the protection of justice for the people.
Besides, they are analyzed the limitations of law, organization status and
operation reality of current court. In the articles, the authors proposed
scientific solutions to enhance the independence of courts and judges, as
well as the reform of the the system of court of the different judging levels
oriented in the Resolution No. 49/NQ-TW dated June 2nd, 2005 from
Ministry of Politics for judicial reform strategy up to 2020.
1.3. The evaluation of thesis research
1.3.1. The advantages and research results in which the thesis will
inherit and continue to develop
The research works (domestically) mentioned and analyzed theoretical
basis of ensuring human rights in judicial proceedings, firstly came from
the relationship between human rights and ensuring human rights in the
legal relations arising in judicial proceedings. Judging activity has
jurisdictional characteristic and is secured by coercive power of the state,
together with judging activities they are arising, restriction or termination
of some individual’s authorities. In court proceedings, the legal measures to
guarantee the rights of the participants in the proceedings, including the
basic principles of criminal procedures, civil and administrative
proceedings; the rules of procedures, the proceedings, the stages of criminal
proceedings, the prosecution activities to comply with the law and the
responsibilities of proceedings authorities. This is a very important
beginning, the theoretical basis as the premise for the author to analyze
more deeply theoretical basis about the role of court in protecting human
rights.
The research works in Vietnam and in overseas provided a
comprehensive overview of the concept of ensuring human rights,
protecting human rights and the effect of protecting human rights by
judging activities. The knowledge (mainly from the overseas research
works) is the basis for the author to explain, analyse the advantages of
protecting human rights by the court under the comparative law aspect and
constitutional law science.
One of the research results brings the importance to the author's thesis
is that the research works above have fairly complete overview of the status
of international law and the democratic jurisdiction state’s Constitution for
the position and role of national courts in the protection of human rights,
thus help the writer have scientific basis to study and compare with the
status of position, role of Vietnam Court in protecting human rights, as well
as giving the solution to improve the position and role of courts in
protecting human rights .
The research works in Vietnam also initially approach and analyze
some aspects (viewpoints) that demonstrate the role of courts in human
rights protection. This analysis continue to be evaluated and commented by
the thesis writer, from then give his own assessment of the concept,
characteristics and content of human rights protection by the court, as well
as the basic aspects expressing the court's role in protecting human rights .
The works are explained and analyzed the basic dimensions
demonstrating the position and role of the court in the relationship with
other Institutions of Justice, as well as the one between the judicial power,
the executive power and legislative power. In terms of external relations
(with legislative power and executive one) or inside ones (with other
Institutions of Justice), the Court remains the most important institution in
performing judicial power; plays an important role in deciding the capacity
and effect of judicial power in particular and the state power in general.
In addition, the research works mentioned the negative factors to the
effectiveness of human rights protection of the court in particular, judicial
system in general and also suggest some directions, solutions to improve
the capacity and effectiveness of protecting human rights of judicial system
and the court in the context of building a socialist jurisdiction state.
The assessment of the reality of organization and operation of
Vietnam court in the research works is important for the thesis to collect,
compare and clarify the limitations of the courts in human rights protection
in Vietnam.
1.3.2. The problems have not solved thoroughly and need to be
studied further
The examination of research works mentioned above demonstrates
research issues about the role of courts in protecting human rights in
Vietnam today still remaining limitations and gaps that need to be studied,
include as follows:
- The concept of human rights protection has not been studied in
Vietnam thoroughly and convincingly;
- The difference between the human rights protection and guarantee
has not been clarified;
- The concept of "protecting human rights by the court" has been used
but the internal content is not still clear so it is necessary to analyze,
demonstrate and clarify the internal content and characteristics "protecting
human rights by the court";
- The analysis and demonstration the advantages of protecting human
rights through judging activities on the basis of comparison with the
operation of the National Assembly, the Government in this field still need
to be studied to clarify;
- The position and role of the court in the system of Institutions of
Justice in protecting human rights;
- The basic factors to ensure the role of court in protecting human
rights in the context of building jurisdiction state and international
integration have not been clarified so they need to be studied further;
- The system of evaluation criteria the role of court in protecting
human rights has not been established comprehensively;
- The reality of protecting human rights in judging activities should be
studied. Therefore, the assessment of rights protection from the court in
Vietnam from 1945 to 2012 should be researched.
Overseas studies analyzed and demonstrated the practical
effectiveness of protecting human rights by judging activities of the court.
However, there are not any comprehensive research works in protecting the
human rights of the court.
1.4. Theoretical basis and research hypotheses
1.4.1. Theoretical basis
The thesis "The role of court in protecting human rights in Vietnam
today" is studied based on the theoretical basis of Marxism - Leninism and
Ho Chi Minh Ideology about the state and socialist law, the relationship
between the state and individuals, human rights, socialist democracy and
build socialist jurisdiction state. Besides, other scientific fields such as
philosophy, sociology, criminology, psychology, etc studying the human
beings, human rights have been also used to solve the problems of thesis, in
which mainly promote the theories and ideas, including:
- The theory of Marxism - Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Ideology about
the state and the law
- The viewpoints of the Party, the state about the country's
comprehensive renovation, renew of the state organization and operation in
accordance with the requirements of building socialist jurisdiction state of
the people, by the people and for the people;
- The opinions of the Party and the state on "The work of human
rights in the new situation" according to the Directive No. 44 CT/TW dated
July 20th, 2010 from Board of Secretary;
- The thesis also acquires selectively the human essence ideas about
the law, democracy and human rights, like the theory of "power limit" of
John Locke; decentralization theory of Montesquieu (1689-1715).
1.4.2. Research hypotheses
In socialist jurisdiction state, the court is "the last protection” of
human rights
In order to demonstrate the scientific hypothesis, the thesis directly
solves scientific problems, including:
1. Why does the court play the important and supreme role in
protecting the human rights in socialist jurisdiction state?
2. Which factors ensure the important role of the court in protecting
human rights in the current situation and development orientation up to
2020?
3. Research, analyze and clarify the limitations of the court in
protecting human rights, the reasons and solutions to these limitations in
order to ensure the court to be “the final protection” of human rights.
1.5. The research direction of the thesis
The thesis demonstrates the research hypothesis" In socialist
jurisdiction state, the court is "the final protection" of the human rights" on
the basis of analyzing, explaining and demonstrating the advantages of
judging activities in protecting human rights in relation to the basic
characteristics of legislative power and executive one. On the basis of
research orientation, the thesis solves scientific thesis according to the
approach, namely:
- The system approach: analyzing and evaluating the issues of the
state power, judicial one, the position and role of court in the judicial
system, the state machine are set in a complex of the relevant factors,
interacting together to create a unity;
- Interbranch approach: There is the intellectual combination of many
fields of social science and humanity, such as politics, philosophy and law
(criminal law, criminal proceedings one, administrative one, state and law
theoretical science, constitutional law, and human rights science).
- History approach: Historical perspective is consistently used in the
research, especially in assessing the reality of protecting human rights by
the court in Vietnam.
- Comparative law approach is used (mainly compare the
Constitution) to clarify the fundamental roles of judging activities in
protecting human rights in the democratic jurisdiction society.

THEORETICAL BASIS ON ROLE OF COURTS IN
PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
2.1. The concept, characteristics of protecting human rights by the
court
2.1.1. The concept of protecting human rights by the court
On the basis of the content of judging activities and protecting human
rights, “protecting human rights by the court” is an activity to punish the
violation behaviours of human rights and recovering the limited and
deprived human rights is implemented in the procedures of judicial
proceedings law aimed to ensuring the rights of individuals to be respected
and implemented in the social life.
2.1.2. The basic characteristics of protecting human rights by the
court
The internal content of the concept of human rights protection by the
court show that these activities have the following basic characteristics:
- Protecting the human rights by the court has strong coercive power
- Protecting the human rights by the court is governed by the law
comprehensively
- Protecting the human rights by the court is formed on the needs of
individuals and the state.
- Protecting the human rights by the court is carried out in public,
independence and fairness.
2.2. The concept, content about the role of the court in protecting
human rights
2.2.1. The concept about the role of the court in protecting human
rights
On the basis of the internal content of the term “role”, content and
characteristics of protecting the human rights by the court, the role of court
in protecting the human rights is the activities of the state power carried out
according to the order and procedures of judicial proceedings law aimed to
oppose all violation to preserve “human dignity, interests, needs and
abilities” of everyone in the society to be “intact” and implemented in the
social life. Besides, this also contributes to reinforce the people’s belief in
the executed justice, transparency and equality of law, the power and
prestige of state machine, humanity and democracy of the jurisdiction state
2.2.2. The content about the role of court in protecting the human
rights
2.2.2.1. The role of court in controlling the violation of the human
rights carried out by the state
2.2.2.2. The court punishes equally to the criminal of human rights
and protects the rights of the innocent
2.2.2.3. The role of court in protecting democratic freedom right and
individual safety.
2.2.2.4. The trial is the last phase to recover the individual’s rights and
benefits
2.2.2.5. The role of court in educating the awareness of respecting and
protecting the human rights of individual and society.
2.3. The basic factors ensuring the role of court in protecting
human rights in Vietnam
2.3.1. The awareness of the Party, the state and the people about
the role of court in protecting human rights
- The awareness of the Party and the state about the role of court in
protecting human rights
- The awareness of the people about the human rights and the role of
court in protecting human rights
Firstly, the awareness of the people about the human rights
Secondly, the awareness of the people about the role of court in
protecting the human rights
2.3.2. The recognition of law about the role of court in protecting
human rights
- The law recognizes the legal behavior judging right of the court
- The law recognizes the authority of the court for protecting the right
of freedom and personal safety
2.3.3. The independence of the judging activities
Stipulating the independence of court is the prerequisite to ensure the
judicial and political position of the court so that the court can oppose the
impact and dominance of the executive and legislative power in trial
process. However, the reality has shown that: The stop at the constitutional
provisions, lack of legal mechanisms has made the provisions of the
Constitution like political slogan than "legal regulation", together with
stipulating the constitutional aspects to ensure judging independence,
constitutional provisions have to be listed in detail into specific provisions
in law to restrict some provisions of Constitution does not go into real
social practices.
2.3.4. The order and procedure of judicial proceedings
Trial operation of the court must be carried out in order, proceedings
procedure according to the regulation of law so proceedings law is the legal
basis for the court to ensure good performance their functions and tasks,
especially the trial operation. Judicial proceedings law defines the judging
authority, the order and trial procedure, the rights and obligations of the
court, proceedings-conducting persons, proceedings-participating persons
in the trial, therefore proceedings law impacts directly on the quality and
efficiency of judging activities. Proceedings law defines the rights and
obligations of the parties loosely, contradictorily and overlappingly, trial
operation cannot ensure the fairness and equality. Trial operation only
ensure the fairness, impartiality and objectiveness when proceedings law
system is full, united and ensuring comprehensive human rights, as well as
the independence of the court, judges, jury to the parties involved in the
proceedings, other state agencies.
2.3.5. The organization of the court system
In the jurisdiction state, the court system is organized to perform state
power – state judging power. The need of beneficiary of human rights puts
the court in heavy duties because individual liberty depends on the fairness
of the judging activities and thus the organization of the court system has
important meanings for performing judging functions and independent trial
capabilities of the court.
The way to organize the court system will impact strongly on the
independence as well as the quality and trial efficiency of the court.
Therefore, building an independent court system based on judging levels
and demand of the regions will decrease the domination of court from the
local administrations, ensure the trial capacity and quality of the court. This
will ensure a solid base for the protection of human rights from the court
more and more consolidated and enhanced.
2.3.6. The quality of judge
The judges who have the task of implementing the judging power and
justice protection of the regime so the judges must have morality and
knowledge suitable with their jobs. They not only have to make greater
social responsibility, holding the balance, but also implement the
obligations of a true citizen. The society requires the judges to have the
necessary political, legal, ethical, cultural to perform judging power given
by the state.
2.3.7. The materials serve judging operation
This factor plays an important role influencing the trial effectiveness.
The trial is a complex state power activity with the participation of many
different parties with high sense of responsibility, so the most important
problem is to ensure the income of the people who are assigned to
implement the trial directly by the state. The guarantee of cases solved with
the fairness, impartiality and objectiveness requires the full materials
served for scientific tools and evidence verification techniques, highly
professional, skillful and experienced participants. In addition, the court is
considered as the symbol of justice so it should be guaranteed the
suitability of physical facilities and the rituals during the trial. The court
with spacious, modern, fully equipped office will impact significantly on
the social perception for the role of court as well as ensuring the solemn,
formal and and civilized trial.
2.3.8. The operation quality of sentence execution
Due to profound impact on the quality and efficiency for protecting
the human rights of the judgment and the court's decision, improving the
quality and execution efficiency is the important requirement to ensure the
role of court in protecting the human rights.
2.4. The basic criteria to evaluate the role of court in protecting
the human rights in Vietnam
2.4.1. The criteria to evaluate the awareness of the Party, the state
and the people on the role of court in protecting the human rights
- The true and comprehensive level in the conception of the Party and
the state to protect the justice and human rights of judging activities in
particular, judicial power in general.
- The degree of consistency of the policies and guidelines of the Party
and law policies of the state on protecting human rights of judging
activities in the organization and implementation of the judicial power in
particular, the state power in general.
- The level of ensuring the independence of court, judges and jury
under the judging execution of the Party.
- The awareness level of the people about the human rights and the
significance of judging activities in protecting the human rights.
- The belief of the people in the fairness and ensuring the execution of
justice of judging activites
- The extent of the people's trust in the fairness and guarantee of the
Court’s judicial activities.
2.4.2. Criteria for evaluating the law’s recognition on the roles of
the Court in protecting human rights
- The complete and comprehensive extent of the law in recognizing
the jurisdiction over behaviors of violating human rights of the Court;
- The degree of consistency of the law in ensuring that the Court
remains the central and supreme position in enforcement activities of
judicial power;
- The guarantee of law on the Court's implementation of judicial
power.
2.4.3. Criteria for evaluating the effectiveness in protecting human
rights by judicial activities
The fairness, equality and lawfulness of the Court's judgment and
decisions are the basic criteria for evaluating the roles of the Court in
protecting human rights through judicial activities. In addition, to ensure a
comprehensive assessment of the roles of the Court in this field, it is
necessary to consider the timeliness as well as the punctuation of judicial
activities as stipulated by the law.
CONCLUSION FOR CHAPTER 2
Protecting human rights is important activity in ensuring the
implementation of human rights in the social life. Protecting human rights
not only ensures human rights to be respected and safe from behaviors
damaging human rights, but also remains the decisive basis and
precondition to the implementation of the human rights of the people, so
the State and the people always put special attention on the protection
activities of human rights. The State protects human rights by various
measures which are conducted by different institutions of the State power.
Through judicial activities, the Court proves to be the most effective
institution in protecting human rights of the people among different power
institutions implementing the responsibility of protecting human rights.
Protecting human rights through judicial activities not only ensures
the fairness, publicity and democracy, but also the self-consciousness on
protecting the rights of individuals and citizens on protection process.
Fairness and equality are core values of human rights; therefore judicial
activities with its nature of jurisdictional activities which are conducted
under tight and strict procedures and are ensured to be implemented under
the strong coercive power of the State are increasingly trusted and
appreciated in protecting human rights
Chapter 3
EVALUATING THE ROLES OF THE COURT IN
PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN VIETNAM TODAY
3.1. The Party, the State and the people have not yet had right
awareness of the roles of the Court in protecting human rights.
- The Party and the State have not yet had right awareness of the roles
of the Court in protecting human rights of individuals.
- The people have not yet appreciated the roles of the Court in
protecting human rights.
3.2. The law has not yet had full awareness of the roles of the
Court in protecting human rights.
- The law has not yet recognized the Court’s jurisdiction over
behaviors of violating the legislative and executive which damaging human
rights.
- The Court has not yet had wide authority in protecting human rights
and personal safety.
3.3. The Court has not yet effectively protected human rights of
individual during judicial process.
3.3.1. Limitations of judicial activities in protecting human rights
in Vietnam nowadays
Under the provisions of the judicial procedural law, Vietnam court has
jurisdiction on criminal cases, civil cases and administrative complaints.
The reality of trial activities in recent years has shown that every trial
remains certain restrictions.
a) Limitations of criminal trial work in the protection of human rights
of the accused and the innocent
b) Limitations of civil trial work in protecting the rights and interests
of the participants in the proceedings
c) Limitations of administrative adjudicating activities in the
protection of human rights
3.3.2. Underlying causes of the limitations of judicial activities in
protecting human rights in Vietnam today
a) The independence of the Court’s trial is not guaranteed
b) The judicial proceedings and order do not create favorable
conditions for the Court to protect the human rights in the judicial process
c) Unscientific model of the Court system leading to the limitations of
judicial capacity and the waste of investment resources of the society to the
Court
d) Judge team lacking in number and limited in professional
qualifications and moral character
CONCLUSION FOR CHAPTER 3
Beside the achievements recognized by the Party, the State and the
society, Vietnam Court still have many inadequacies, especially the quality
and effectiveness of trial remains many limitations which fails to meet the
requirements of legal society. The situation of mistrial, unpunctual trial,
unclear decisions and especially unfair and wrong trial seriously affect the
trust of the people on the equality of the law and the State regime. The
Court has not become the symbol of justice in the awareness of the society.
The trust of the people on the Court depends on the institution
ensuring the independence of the Court, the degree of impartiality and
objectivity of the judge to the trial participants. All these factors are not
ensured in current Vietnamese law (as analyzed in item 3.4). Together with
the limitations of independent trial, the Court has not yet had the
jurisdiction over behaviors of violating the legislative and executive;
overlapped and conflicting judicial proceedings and order has seriously
affected the roles of the Court in protecting human rights.

DIRECTION AND ADVANCED SOLUTIONS ROLE IN THE
COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION IN VIETNAM
4.1. The need to enhance the role of courts in protecting human
rights in Vietnam:
In order to achieve the objectives set out in the national development
strategy in transition to socialism: “basically build the economic foundation

the basis for our country to become a socialist country more prosperous and
happy”[21] , “building a socialist law-governed State of the people, by the
people, for the people”[21] has been identified as one of seven basic
directions of revolutionary Vietnam in this period.
Building a socialist rule requires State legislation constantly improve
and enhance the capacity law enforcement of the state apparatus. the rule of
law in the social law is hardly expressed in social life if the laws are not
enforced or implemented improperly, so law enforcement activities become
the significant activities in ensuring the success of the building of a
socialist law-governed State. The judicial Power has responsible for the law
enforcement, so the judicial authorities have an important role in ensuring
the rule of law in society. In the judicial authority, the Court is the authority
which has the "central position" perform judicial power, so the courts have
an important role in determining the quality and effectiveness of the
judicial power in particular, operation of law protecting of state power in

CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT RESEARCH RECOMMENDATIONS
Protecting human rights is a meaningful activity in the demand of
human rights beneficiary of the individual. Protecting human rights is both
prevention and defense in order to eliminate activities of violating human
rights, and ensure the rights of being respected and implemented in social
life. Protecting human rights is carried out by a lot of subjects in the society
by different activities. In the mechanism of protecting human rights,
protecting human rights by the Court demonstrates many advantages that
other subjects are difficult to achieve. Through the judgment, the Court not
only punishes the person violating the human rights; restoring the violated
human rights, but also carries out the function of protecting the human
rights of law-one of the most important methods of protecting the human
rights of the jurisdiction society in social life. Besides the wide scope of
protection, protecting human rights by the Court expresses preeminent
characteristics in the protection process, such as ensuring the equality in the
protection process and especially the independence of protection subject for
parties disputing about rights well as in relation to other legal entities.
Because protecting human rights by the Court satisfies the expectation
the entity, requirements and expectations of a democratic and civilized
society, the jurisdiction regime requires that the court has to be the central
subject and has supreme role in protecting human rights. The jurisdiction
State requires the Court to punish all subjects performing the act of
violating human rights, including legislative power and executive power in
case of performing acts of violating human rights, especially violating basic
rights of the individual. In order to ensure the efficiency and belief of the
society to the jurisdiction regime, the law on Court proceedings has to be
been built fully, uniformly, coherently and scientifically; establishing the
Court system meets the requirement of judgment and the right of
approaching the Court easily, while ensuring the limitation of state
agencies, state administration agency on the activities of the Court; In
addition, the State and society needs to invest significantly physical
resource serving a fair and civilization judgment.
In Vietnam, logical elements of the theory of jurisdiction State have
been applied to the process of renewing the state apparatus. The central
institution court of the judicial power has been secured the independence in
the judgment process in order to protect human rights better. In recent
years, by activities of criminal judgment, civil judgment and administrative
judgment, Vietnam Court prevents effectively the act of violating law,
human right and restoring abused human rights. However, due to the
influence of historic factors, the limited social and economic development,
the contradiction and shortage of legal system, the ineligible judges make
the effectiveness of protecting human right by judgmentdo not satisfy the
demand and requirement of the people. In the cause affecting negatively the
quality and efficiency of protecting human rights by judgment, Judge,
people’s juror and the Court have not independent is one of basic reasons
limiting the protective effectiveness by judgment right. Because the Courts,
Judges and c people’s juror are not independent in the judgment process,
some judgments and decisions of the Court are not objective and fair. This
has significantly affected the people's belief in justice and social justice. In
addition, contradictions and overlapping of law on judicial proceedings,
court organization system and the quality of judges also seriously impact
the quality and effectiveness of protecting human rights by judgment.
Therefore, in order to ensure the direction of developing the socialist
law-governed state, the first priority task in current period is to develop
scientific and practical solutions promoting the protection effectiveness of
human rights by the Court. Improving the effectiveness of protecting
human rights by the Courts and building a theoretical and legal basis in
order to ensure the position and role of the Court in protecting human rights
is one of the initial requirements deciding the success of the construction of
socialist law-governed state. Solutions on ensuring the independence of the
Court; ensuring the equality of judgment; the right of controlling the state
power by judicial activities; improving the quality of civil judgments aim at
the final target of improving the effectiveness of protecting human rights by
judicial activities, and enhancing the position and role of the Court in
psychology and awareness of the society to contribute to the success of the
establishiment of a socialist law-governed State of the people, by the
people, for the people.
To ensure for suggested solutions promote practical effectiveness, it’s
necessary to study and clarify the theriotical and practical basis of the
following scientific issues:
- Continue studying theoretical and practical basis on the scope,
content and structure of the act on ensuring the independent judgment of
the Court;
- Continue studying theoretical and practical basis on scope, content
and structure of the Constitution preceeding proceedings;
- Continue studying relevant law to amend and supplement to create a
uniform legal basis which is suitable with serving the change of selection
process and appointment of judges;
- Research the theory and practice to establish the system of ethical
standards of Judges.
