Rights advocates fear a lack of focus on human rights will not only fail to improve conditions.
President Joe Biden’s administration vowed to prioritise human rights when taking office in 2021.
In Hanoi, Biden said the US was elevating relations to a “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership” and deepening cooperation in cloud computing, semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The White House also unveiled a Vietnam Airlines purchase of 50 Boeing 737 Max jets worth US$7.8 billion. Human Rights Watch says the government’s Hindu majoritarian ideology is reflected in bias in the justice system, and authorities have intensified efforts to silence activists and journalists through politically motivated charges.
He said governments needed to know there would be consequences for abuses “if not of sticks, then of squandered carrots.”
