Abstract
Although rule of law and human rights have been mentioned in the documents of the Vietnamese Communist Party since 1997 and were adopted in the 1992 constitution (amended 2001) and the new constitution in 2013, it is hard to be optimistic about their practical application. This research explores influences of the rule of law on the protection of human rights in Viet Nam. The article starts by reviewing concepts of the rule of law, mechanisms of protection of human rights, and the impacts of the rule of law on human rights in general. From analysing the current situation of the rule of law and the impacts of the rule of law on the protection of human rights in Viet Nam, this research offers some solutions for improving constitutional mechanisms to protect human rights.
