Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved a plan to concretize the UN Convention Against Torture (UNCAT), to which Vietnam became a signatory on November 7, 2013.
He instructed ministries and relevant agencies to carry out propaganda and disseminate regulations and laws about the prevention of and fight against torture and types of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
Government agencies are required to step up inspection and supervision to ensure it is well observed.
