Ensuring children's rights in family cultural institutions in Vietnam

Abstract

Contemporary Vietnamese legal scholarship demonstrates considerable interest in theoretical examinations of human and civil rights, particularly concerning children's rights. These rights manifest across diverse living environments, with the family institution representing a crucial and determinative milieu. The protection of children's rights establishes the foundation for cultivating and preserving positive values central to family culture. Simultaneously, the maintenance and development of cultural and moral values creates essential conditions for ensuring children's proper care and upbringing within healthy environments. This scholarly investigation employs rights assurance theory to analyze the interconnection between safeguarding children's rights and preserving fundamental Vietnamese family cultural values. The research demonstrates how effective implementation of children's rights mechanisms reinforces cultural preservation, while traditional family values provide supportive frameworks for rights protection. This interdisciplinary approach yields valuable insights for both legal scholarship and cultural studies within Vietnam's unique socio-cultural context, where family institutions continue to substantially influence child development outcomes.
