Ensuring the right to health care for detained adolescents: cross-sectoral strategies and policy innovations

Abstract This presentation will draw attention to the health concerns of adolescents deprived of liberty, stressing that incarceration of minors should be a last resort. Notwithstanding, when governments allow for incarceration of minors, they must guarantee this does not translate into deprivation of basic human rights and that international treaties are respected, including access to high quality healthcare. This talk outlines the development of a policy brief based on data from the UN global study, which identifies essential health interventions for minors in various forms of detention-migration, youth detention, and adult detention where children reside with their parents. Using case studies from Greece, India, and the United States, shortcomings in existing health systems in detention contexts are stressed. A more recent policy brief focusing exclusively on children detained in the context of migration will be used to provide good practice case studies, where appropriate actions such as changes in legislation were put in place, namely in Canada, South Africa, Ukraine and Ireland. A key focus of the presentation will be the importance of cross-ministerial collaboration, as healthcare in the criminal justice system frequently falls under the jurisdiction of ministries other than health, complicating health policy implementation. The speaker will discuss integrated approaches that involve various sectors to ensure the health rights of detained youth are addressed. The presentation aims to illuminate the systemic changes needed to protect the health of detained adolescents, urging policymakers, healthcare providers, and advocates to adopt holistic and inter-sectoral strategies. The talk will also refer to policy actions and recommendations for Member States to support them in addressing challenges so they may achieve the principles of equivalent care and continuity of care that reflects the recommendations of the United Nations Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty.

Associations between people experiencing homelessness (PEH) and neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs): A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Homelessness represents a widespread social issue globally, yet the risk of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) associated with people experiencing homelessness (PEH) has not received sufficient attention. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the risk of NDDs among PEH and its variation across countries and regions through meta-analysis and systematic review. Searching from databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, relevant research articles on PEH and NDDs were identified. After multiple screening, eight articles were selected for meta-analysis. Statistical methods and models were used to evaluate the association between PEH and NDDs, stratified by disease type and country. We found that PEH had a 51% higher risk of NDDs (OR = 1.51 (95% CI: 1.21, 1.89)) compared with those with stable housing. Specifically, PEH had a significantly higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis (OR = 4.64 (95% CI: 1.96, 10.98)). Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) (OR = 1.93 (95% CI: 1.34, 2.77)), dementia (OR = 1.69 (95% CI: 1.26, 2.27)), and cognitive impairment (OR = 1.07 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.16)) were all at higher risk. Furthermore, country and regional differences were observed, with countries such as Iran (OR = 4.64 (95% CI: 1.96, 10.98)), the Netherlands (OR = 2.14 (95% CI: 1.23, 3.73)), the United States (OR = 1.66 (95% CI: 1.25, 2.22)), and Canada (OR = 1.06 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.10)) showing a higher risk of NDDs among the PEH. The study emphasizes the significant NDD risks among PEH, providing novel perspectives on this issue and shedding light on national disparities influenced by variations in healthcare systems and social environments. This will be beneficial for academia and government to prioritize the health of PEH with NDDs, aiming to mitigate disease incidence and economic burdens while preserving social stability and upholding basic human rights.

Human Right to Court in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

The right to a fair trial has become a right of a universal nature. The idea of human rights is closely related to universal and equal treatment of all people, which means respecting the personal dignity of man. This dignity, as a condition for the individual to belong to the human species, constitutes the foundation, the basis for human rights, and the purpose, the culmination of the construction of these rights. The right to a fair trial is a subjective right of the individual, understood as an idea that any intervention in civil rights must depend on a ruling issued by an independent and impartial judicial body. On the other hand, the material scope of the right to court covers penal, civil and administrative rights decided upon by different courts according to their statutorily determined extent of jurisdiction. Although human rights are the rights of a particular human being, their protection is also an obligation of the State. It is the State which is obligated to ensure that the core of a specific human right is protected. This protection must be effective, thus not only does it apply to the content of the human right concerned, but it also comprises the procedure necessary to protect it so that the right is not illusory. The unique nature of the right to court makes it essential that the administration of justice in accordance with the principle of the right to a fair trial should be the subject of adjudication by courts and tribunals.

Legitimate self-affirmation of a person in society

It was found that a number of objective and subjective factors influence the choice of value guidelines and the formation of individual legal value attitudes. The formation of a legal vector of human behavior in the modern legal space requires the development of personal qualities of a person through legal education, the development of value-based legal orientations, legal culture, and legal awareness. It is emphasized that a person’s legal awareness, as a set of ideas and perceptions of a person about positive law, must be formed on the principle of interconnection and complementarity of natural and positive law. In a legal state and a democratic society, a person should feel this interaction in the dominance of universal values and principles originating from the norms of natural law, as well as anthropocentrism in the norms of positive law. The formation of the legal culture of an individual through awareness of the purpose of law, its content, and basic ideas is a guarantee of respect for law and human rights and contributes to the formation of a valuable legal worldview and understanding of the principles of functioning of a civilized society. It is noted that today the state must take care that citizens have the proper level of legal culture and legal awareness, and also, it is important that this process is not ideological, but on the contrary, that a person feels that no one imposes any social models on him and ideals, except that legitimate self-assertion is encouraged. Attention is focused on the fact that the legitimate self-assertion of a person in society is the basis of his harmonious existence in the natural-legal field of the state within the natural­legal space and continues throughout life on the basis of learning the norms of social morality, universal ideals, awareness of the value and purpose of law and unconditionality in observance of basic human rights. The formation of a legitimate vector of individual development involves the interaction of the main social institutions for the development of legal culture, legal awareness and legitimate social attitudes, which will contribute to reducing the manifestations of illegal human behavior.

State of scientific research problems of judicial proceedings in civil jurisdiction

The article reveals current problems and the state of scientific research on judicial proceedings in civil proceedings. In particular, special attention is paid to the issue of justice. The definitions and content of justice given by both scientists and its normative basis are analyzed. It is established that some scientists define justice as the main function of the court, while others define it as a form of activity of the court itself. The proposed author’s definition of the concept of «justice». Issues of access to justice are highlighted. It is suggested that the issue of access to justice be classified as one of the main principles of the civil process. The availability of justice and access to court is considered in the context of the concept of basic human rights and freedoms. Access to justice is defined as a combination of such interrelated elements as unconditional freedom, state- guaranteed opportunity and equality of a person whose rights have been violated to apply for judicial protection of his rights and legitimate interests to a competent court; the duty of the court to accept the case for its proceedings, without applying formal reasons for refusal. Application of universal and unlimited court jurisdiction; guarantees of competitiveness, proper judicial procedures, which ensure reasonable terms of consideration of the case. Particular attention is paid to the main principles recommended by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to member states regarding measures that facilitate access to justice. The opinions of scientists revealing the meaning of such principles as simplification of court proceedings, acceleration of proceedings and court costs are established. The work analyzes official statistical data for 2020 - 2023, regarding the number of cases that were considered in the order of simplified legal proceedings in all courts on the territory of Ukraine. It was concluded that, in minor cases, it would be appropriate to develop and implement national standards that would allow individuals to independently fill out understandable standard forms of procedural documents and submit them to the court, without consulting legal experts. It is proposed to use a differentiated approach to determine the size of the court fee depending on the person’s income or depending on the degree of difficulty of the case, taking into account the procedural costs and time for consideration of the case.

College students with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA): Unpacking the meaning of thriving through conversation with DACA friends and allies

ABSTRACT Prior research on thriving has primarily portrayed it as a positive experience, which it often is; however, we extend past theorizing by showing how there can be a “cost” to thriving. Specifically, this study explored DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) college students’ conceptualizations of thriving by analyzing transcribed audio-recorded conversations between 32 dyads, consisting of a DACA student and one of their friends (i.e., an ally friend or a DACA friend). Recognizing the effects of systemic oppression, we added a new component of thriving – fundamental well-being – that encompasses the need for basic human rights and safety. A thematic analysis of the data revealed juxtaposing meanings of thriving and possible “costs” of thriving. Three pairs of juxtaposing themes emerged: (a) outcome- versus process-oriented, (b) self- versus family-oriented, and (c) thriving as activism versus thriving under the radar. Uncovering these lived realities among DACA students extends previous theoretical understandings of thriving.

Layiqli həyat hüquqları sferasında beynəlxalq əməkdaşlığın hüquqi tənzimlənməsi

Ensuring the right to a decent life, which is considered one of the basic human rights, is one of the main obligations of the world community and individual states in the modern era. It is for this reason that international organizations and developed countries are supporters of the process of promoting aid and establishing relations with developing or relatively low-income states. One of the most important issues in this promotion process is the availability of its contractual basis. Only after that, international organizations and individual states will be able to implement certain programs and action plans through the appropriate organizational mechanisms. The article examines the forms and directions of international cooperation implemented by the author in the direction of rights to a decent life, analyzes international acts containing this problem, and also puts forward certain proposals and recommendations. Also the author analyzed the implementation of international relations from the point of view of the minimum level of social protection and defended the idea of replacing the term "extraterritorial obligations" with the term "obligations of the third state". Keywords: the right to a decent life, adequate standards, the international act, Social protection floor, extraterritorial obligations, obligations of the third state, international relations, international cooperation, the Strategy of Three Pillars.

Meeting the Needs of People With Severe Quadriplegia in the 21st Century: The Case for Implanted Brain-Computer Interfaces.

In recent decades, there has been a widespread adoption of digital devices among the non-disabled population. The pervasive integration of digital devices has revolutionized how the majority of the population manages daily activities. Most of us now depend on digital platforms and services to conduct activities across the domains of communication, finance, healthcare, and work. However, a clear disparity exists for people who live with severe quadriplegia, who largely lack access to tools that would enable them to perform daily tasks digitally and communicate effectively with their environment. The purpose of this piece is to (i) highlight the unmet needs of people with severe quadriplegia (including cases for medical necessity and perspectives from the community), (ii) present the current landscape of assistive technology for people with severe quadriplegia, (iii) make the case for implantable BCIs (how they address needs and why they are a good solution relative to other assistive technologies), and (iv) present future directions. There are technologies that are currently available to this population, but these technologies are certainly not usable with the same level of ease, efficiency, or autonomy as what has been designed for the non-disabled community. This hinders the ability of people with severe quadriplegia to achieve digital autonomy, perpetuating social isolation and limiting the expression of needs, opinions, and preferences. Most importantly, the gap in digital equality fundamentally undermines the basic human rights of people with severe quadriplegia.

Legal regulation of education in Ukraine. Part 3: equal rights, security and dignity of students and language requirements for admission to an educational institution under the conditions of military emergency

The purpose of this article is to continue the analysis of Ukrainian legislation and international acts that regulate or affect the process of regulating basic human rights and freedoms in Ukraine’s education field. The conduct of this study is due to the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine in 2024, which intervened directly during the admission process of students to higher educational institutions during the 2024 admission campaign. The mentioned aspects especially affected the education seekers who declared their desire to study full-time and on a paid basis in graduate school to obtain the third (educational and scientific) level of higher education. Regarding the above, it became necessary to legally examine the observance of basic human rights and freedoms when conducting the admission process under martial law along with implementing and regulating educational activities. In particular, the article examines the main conditions and guarantees of equality of rights of education seekers when enrolling in educational institutions. Additionally, the study underlines the main legal provisions on the human right to safety and dignity, which shall be observed during the admission campaign and when carrying out educational activities in conditions of military emergency as well as in conditions of economic crisis. At the same time, special attention is focused on the need to establish different admission conditions and study conditions for free education and paid education recipients. In addition, the authors analyze the legislation of Ukraine regarding the possibility of using the factor of knowledge of foreign languages as a condition for admission to institutions of higher education, both in the general context and taking into account the specifics of the education received by the student. Thus, this article is the third article from the cycle of research and contains the results of a legal study of the principle of equal rights in the field of education, the principle of safety and human dignity in education, in particular, during the period of military emergency in Ukraine, as well as the principle of Ukrainian-language education in Ukraine.

Elderly Victimization in the Context of Witchcraft Accusations and Persons Accused of Witchcraft Practices Living Within the Gambaga Witches’ Camp: Understanding of Human Rights

The practice of sociocultural belief systems in Ghana such as witchcraft accusations leads to situations where some elderly people in the northern part of Ghana are likely to be victimized based on sociocultural belief systems. Persons accused of witchcraft practices can be denied some of their basic fundamental human rights. The lack of a clear understanding of human rights standards among many rural folks, especially in a rural part of Northern Ghana, makes many people consider accusations of persons suspected of witchcraft practices as a non-abuse of victims’ human rights when persons accused of witchcraft are encamped in witches’ camps. Hence, this study sought to explore the accused persons of witchcraft practice’s understanding of human rights and how their conceptualization of human rights has led to elderly victimization based on sociocultural practices regarding witchcraft accusations. The study employed a qualitative method where 37 participants were selected consisting of persons accused of witchcraft practices living within the Gambaga witches’ camp. A thematic approach was used in the data analysis. The study found that accused persons of witchcraft practices have a distinctive understanding of human rights, which they conceptualized to include social and cultural rights, economic rights, civil and political rights and legal rights and missed out on the civil and political aspects of human rights. The study found that the accused persons’ lack of understanding of the civil rights concept of human rights made most of the persons living within the Gambaga witches’ camp to be victims of torture, undergo forced labour, lack their right to protection, gender discrimination and slavery within the camp. The study recommended that traditional leaders should engage in community dialogues that facilitate open and inclusive community dialogues to discuss the negative impact of witchcraft accusations on individuals and the community as a whole.

New perspectives on fighting violence against women.

Gender-based violence (GBV) and, more specifically, violence against women (VAW) are commonly considered a consequence of a patriarchal structure-a social system granting the senior male absolute authority over the family and the community as a whole. Anthropologists have documented that human male dominance is rooted in evolution, with male violent behavior observed among the great apes. Given that evolution is a continuous process, human progress over millennia has modified pre-existing behavior, demonstrating that humans can move beyond ancestral ways of life over time. Precisely because of the imperative to change and improve, at the global international level as well as in individual countries, strong movements are in action to eliminate GBV/VAW. FIGO has been and continues to be at the forefront of the battle for equality, with initiatives that cover many aspects of this, including the imperative to involve men, who-in the majority of cases-are the perpetrators. Since men are often the root of the problem, they must also be at the forefront of the battle to eradicate it. GBV/VAW comprises many facets, including selective female abortion, infanticide, femicide, honor killing, female genital mutilation, and child marriage. These deeply rooted forms of violence continue to perpetuate gender inequalities, remain major obstacles to health and societal progress, and violate the most basic human rights.

China’s Nine-Year Compulsory Education Policy and Rural Women’s Education

Globally, education is often regarded as a basic human right. In order to guarantee this right, many countries have adopted various measures to ensure universal access to an inclusive and fair quality education, without leaving anyone behind. The UNICEF (2017) Convention on the Rights of the Child provides tenets of the child’s right to education, education should focus on the all-round development of children’s personalities and promote mutual understanding, tolerance, friendship, and peace by respecting their personal cultural backgrounds. The draft UNESCO Education 2030 Framework for Action (UNESCO 2015) involves ensuring an inclusive and fair basic education and providing lifelong learning opportunities for all (Webb et al., 2017). The implementation of compulsory education and the comprehensive development of a modern education system thus are importance to countries such as China. In fact, the implementation of the compulsory education policy in contemporary China is regarded as the main task of the government, which means that the “right to education” is a top priority (Chang, 2010). However, although various levels of governments are making significant efforts to promote the development of compulsory education in rural areas, there is still a major gap in terms of the quality and attainment within China education, especially along urban-rural divides. Children from impoverished backgrounds, typically rural areas, have a much higher risk of dropping out than their urban peers after completing elementary school. Therefore, this dissertation seeks to present the difficult situation rural women find themselves in concerning education. It proposes two research questions that 1) Does China’s nine-year compulsory education policy include initiatives to address gender inequalities, such as the higher rates of illiteracy amongst rural women and girls, and what evidence is available on the extent of the policy’s effectiveness in this regard? 2) How are issues of gender inequality experienced by rural women and girls in China in the context of the enactment of the nine-year compulsory education policy? Analysing the implementation of China’s nine-year compulsory education policy in rural area, whilst investigating the inequality that rural women suffer.

Penegakan Hukum terhadap Korporasi sebagai Pelaku Tindak Pidana Pencemaran Air

The increase in economic needs in a society causes one of the basic human rights to be violated by corruption perpetrators, the existence of waste pollution carried out by PT. Sari Inti Prima Perkasa due to leakage of wastewater treatment installations causes the river and land of residents around the location of PT. Sari Inti Prima Perkasa to experience a decline in environmental quality. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of criminal law in enforcing the law, and efforts that can be made to realize environmental sustainability and preservation. This research method is normative legal research by delving deeper into secondary information in the form of literature reviews and related laws and regulations. Primary legal materials are laws and regulations such as Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Management and Protection, Government Regulation Number 101 of 2014 concerning Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste, and Government Regulation Number 22 of 2021 concerning Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management and Decision Number: 168 / Pid.BLH / 2023 / PN.Bls. The results of the study are based on Decision Number: 168/Pid.BLH/2023/PN.Bls, which sentenced the Defendant to 1 (one) year in prison and a fine of Rp. 100,000,000 (one hundred million rupiah) with the provision that if the fine is not paid, it will be replaced with imprisonment for 1 (one) month. The conclusion is that environmental criminal law enforcement has been carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations in force in Indonesia. The suggestion is to encourage collaboration and coordination between every stakeholder in the community in order to protect the environment and more massive law enforcement in realizing environmental sustainability and sustainability.

The Rome Statute Impact: Challenge of Upholding Human Rights in Indonesia’s Human Rights Court

This article examines the effect of enforcing gross human rights violations and the implications of Indonesia as a state that did not ratify the Rome Statute. This study is done by studying the legal basis of human rights courts in Indonesia. A doctrinal approach is used. The main legal materials used are the Human Right Court Law (2000) and human rights court decisions. The research findings indicate that the process of enforcing gross human rights violations requires integration between National Human Rights Commission as an investigator and the Attorney General's Office as an investigator. The substance of enforcing gross human rights violations is a formality because Indonesia, as a sovereign state, has the right to determine the model of enforcing gross human rights. However, in fact, there are still many gross human rights violations that cannot be resolved due to differences in perceptions of sufficient preliminary evidence. For this reason, reformulation of the Human Right Court Law (2000) is needed.

Talking About Things Important to Me: Mental Health Consumers' Experiences of Consumer-Rated Measures.

Since 2002, National Outcomes and Casemix Collection of clinician-rated and consumer-rated outcome measures has become part of routine care within Australian clinical mental health services, aiming to ensure that services understand, improve and are accountable for effectiveness of treatment and care provision. Consumer-rated outcome measures, implemented well, support basic human rights of consumers to be asked, heard and included equally in their own care. However, their use has lagged due to clinician inertia, uncertainty about their value to clinical care, assumptions about consumers' capacity to complete the measures and organisational cultural issues that have hampered more holistic assessment, consumer inclusion and care collaboration. Much is known about negative, largely tokenistic use of such measures, poor uptake and dominance of clinical approaches to measurement that privilege clinical expertise; however, little is known about consumers' positive experiences of using consumer-rated measures, Therefore, our aims were as follows: to seek the views and experiences of mental health consumers of using consumer-rated measures in their encounters with clinicians; to understand better whether there were benefits (and if so what) of consumer-rated measures being used in routine mental health practice; to understand how feedback on the use of consumer-rated measures can inform training for mental health staff; and to promote their wider use within mental health services. In-depth interviews conducted with 10 Australian mental health consumers used interview questions co-designed with lived experience and clinical advocates. Descriptive thematic analyses produced four themes emphasising consumers' preferences for completing the measures, the importance of explaining their purpose, how the process validated their feelings and was an opportunity for self-reflection, sense-making, trust-building, and transparency in the encounter and empowerment. This research offers recommendations about the value of effective implementation of consumer-rated measures.

Bacteriological Assessment of Ready-To-Eat Foods Sold in Baze University Student Cafeteria

Although foods can be easily contaminated by naturally occurring microbes or pathogens by any means possible, safe eating is considered as a basic human right. In this study, the bacteriological quality of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods sold within the Baze University campus were assessed. Ready-to-eat food samples including spaghetti, fried rice, jollof rice, yam and moi-moi were bought from different major food vending sites to the student and staff community within the university. The Bacterial species were isolated from food samples and the isolates were identified using standard microbiological procedures. The ability of the isolates to produce hemolysins and lyse blood cells was investigated with hemolysis test and the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates was determined with the following antibiotics: Amoxicillin, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Erythromycin and Gentamicin. The sensitivity and resistance of the isolates to these antibiotics were observed and recorded. A total of six (6) different bacterial species including Corynebacterium spp. (31.6%), Staphylococcus spp. (26.3%), Streptococcus (10.5%), Micrococcus spp. (10.5%), Lactobacillus spp. (15.8) and Micrococcus varians (5.3%) were isolated and identified. The isolates also showed varying reactions to hemolysis and some were highly resistant to common antibiotics, signaling their tendency to initiate foodborne illness. The study concluded that while these sites are necessary in meeting the needs of the university community, it is important that adequate safety measures be enforced to reduce the spread of pathogenic bacterial contaminants in RTE foods and enhance the wellbeing of consumers.

Legal Challenges and Countermeasures for Data Privacy Protection

In the digital age, data privacy protection is facing legal challenges and countermeasures. Traditional privacy protection laws have limitations and cannot fully adapt to the era of big data. The illegal collection and utilization of personal information, the failure to meet ethical standards for privacy protection under new technologies, and the lagging legislative practice of personal information protection are all issues that need to be addressed. This article adopts a series of measures and advocates public awareness to enhance citizens' awareness and participation in personal information protection. From an international perspective, the experience of the EU's "data protection" system is worth learning from, while personal information protection involves basic human rights and should be ensured by legislation. In the future, it is necessary to design a path that balances information freedom and privacy protection, explore technology and incentive paths, industry self-discipline and rights building paths, in order to ensure effective protection of data privacy.

Legal Certainty of Patients’ Right to Autonomy Protection in High-Risk Health Services

The relationship between medical personnel and patients in health services should be viewed as a legal relationship between humans who have equal rights. There are two basic human rights in health services, the right to autonomy and the right to information. The results of the study indicate that the protection of patients' autonomy rights is one of the principles in biomedical ethics used as the moral basis for the provision of health services. The form of protection of patients' autonomy rights in health services is realized through regulations related to Informed Consent in Law Number 17 of 2023 Concerning Health and Minister of Health Regulation Number 290 of 2008 Concerning Consent to Medical Actions. Meanwhile, regulations related to the protection of patients' autonomy rights for high-risk health care actions have not met legal certainty because the health care actions are not classified as high-risk.

Fractional Dynamics of Cassava Mosaic Disease Model with Recovery Rate Using New Proposed Numerical Scheme

Food security is a basic human right that guarantees humans an adequate amount of nutritious food. However, plant viruses and agricultural pests cause real damage to food sources, leading to negative impacts on meeting the human right of obtaining a sufficient amount of food. Understanding infectious disease dynamics can help us to design appropriate control and prevention strategies. Although cassava is among the most produced and consumed crops and greatly contributes to food security, cassava mosaic disease causes a decrease in photosynthesis and reduces cassava yield, resulting in a lack of crops. This paper developed a fractional model for cassava mosaic disease (CMD) dynamics based on the Caputo–Fabrizio (CF) fractional derivative to decrease cassava plant infection. We used fixed-point theory to study the existence of a unique solution in the form of the CMD model. A stability analysis of the model was conducted by using fixed-point theory and the Picard technique. A new numerical scheme was proposed for solving the nonlinear system of a fractional model in the sense of the CF-derivative and applied to obtain numerical simulations for a fractional model of the dynamics of CMD. The obtained results are described using figures that show the dynamics and behaviors of the compartments of CMD, and it is concluded that decreasing the population of whitefly vectors can prevent cassava plants from becoming infected better than increasing the recovery rate of the infected cassava plants.

Ho Chi Minh’s Ideology on Religious Tolerance and The Value of This Ideology for Religious Unity in Vietnam Today

Ho Chi Minh's ideology of tolerance is a philosophical - ethical category that reflects love, respect, recognition, and protection of all human rights and basic freedoms of everyone; is respect and acceptance of the diversity and richness of political views, cultures, and religions, finding similarities in differences; is the expression of the responsibility to maintain and protect basic human rights in economic development, building political, military, and diplomatic systems to gather and unite different forces towards the goal of liberating people. Ho Chi Minh's ideology of tolerance has a broad connotation, containing many great contents, and is valuable for the practical development of all fields of social life. Within the scope of this study, we analyze the basic content of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on religious tolerance, expressed in a number of aspects, such as: Ho Chi Minh's awareness of religious freedom; Respect the beliefs, freedoms and beliefs of the people; Resolutely fight against those who tarnish the sacredness of religion; Sincerely respect the faith of religious people, affirming the moral and humanistic values ​​of religious founders; Refers to the State's responsibility towards religion. On that basis, the article summarizes some theoretical and practical values ​​of this ideology for the issue of religious unity in Vietnam today.
