Progress in human rights can only be achieved by maintaining peace and stability, respecting the rule of law at both the international and national levels, and ensuring respect for the principles of national sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs, said Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN. At a debate of the Committee on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Issues (Third Committee) of the 79th session of UN General Assembly in New York on October 22, the diplomat further said that for promoting and protecting human rights, it is essential to prioritise addressing urgent issues faced by people and to place people at the centre of all policies, adding that dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect, rather than politicisation and confrontation, are the most effective ways to ensure human rights, contributing to promoting inclusive and sustainable development, and leaving no one behind.
