Popis: This chapter reviews the law and policies relating to human security in Vietnam and demonstrates that the seven elements of human security listed in the Human Development Report 1994 can be implicitly found in the Vietnamese legislation. In responding to the question of how to address human security issues, most interviewees indicated that the government should take the lead in protecting people against threats to human security. Although not familiar with the idea of human security, the interviewees were generally able to quickly link the three freedoms, as well as various threats to human security, to specific examples from their own lives. In Vietnam, human security is “a jigsaw puzzle, in which the pieces are identified and well grasped, but have not been put together.”
