Vietnam The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is an authoritarian state. It is ruled by a single party, the Communist Party of Vietnam. National Assembly elections were neither free nor fair. There was limited competition among Communist Party-vetted candidates. There were credible reports that members of the security forces committed numerous abuses. The government occasionally took corrective action, including prosecutions against officials who violated human rights or engaged in corruption, but police officers and state officials frequently acted with impunity.The overall score indicates that severe violations of human rights happen in this country. Compliance with human rights standards cannot be assumed. Very high caution should be exercised. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:Government corruptionTrafficking in personsSignificant restrictions on workers' freedom of associationCompulsory child labor Overall Score 37/100 Global Rights Index 4 Human Development Index 0,703 Kids Rights Index 0,775 Children's Rights in the Workplace Index 5,6 Global Slavery Index 41,49 Trafficking in persons report Tier 3 Global Gender Gap Index 0,705 Rule of Law Index 0,49 Fragile States Index 60,9 Freedom in the World Index 19 Environmental Performance Index 20,1 Corruption Perceptions Index 39 Equality Index 52
