Report on Viet Nam’s failure to implement 2014 Universal Periodic Review (UPR) recommendations. Viet Nam accepted recommendations to ensure: access to legal counsel; freedom of expression rights; and, a favourable working environment of human rights defenders and lawyers. The report by LRWC, Lawyers for Lawyers and the Law Society of England reviews several cases and concludes that Viet Nam has failed to take any significant steps to implement the changes recommended as necessary to comply with its international law obligations and continues to arbitrarily imprison people for voicing opinions, suggesting reform or representing activists.
