Abstract
The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights represents a common understanding of human rights among nations, establishing basic standards and principles of human rights and crystallizing the cultural values regarding human rights in the world. However, the Declaration also has historical limitations; emphasizing universality but ignoring the specificity of human rights; focusing on individual rights but neglecting collective rights and presenting a simplified relationship between rights and obligations. Currently, based on the achievements, limitations, and inadequacies in implementing the Declaration, Vietnam is continuing to strengthen international cooperation to actively contribute to solving global human rights issues and building and perfecting the legal basis to ensure human rights.
