11. 2. Research methods used
The thesis uses two basic groups of methods: the group of specialized research methods and the group of other research methods. The group of specialized research methods includes historical methods and logical methods. The group of other research methods includes methods such as document research, analysis, synthesis, comparison, statistics, description, and contrast.
- Specialized method group:
The historical method plays an important role in studying the development and application of Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights, especially when this thought is always closely linked to the specific historical contexts of the era and nation.
The logical method helps to build a thesis structure that is tight and reasonable in terms of time and research content, clarifying the relationship between research issues.
- Group of other research methods:
The documentary research method allows for the collection and analysis of relevant documents and texts to better understand the research problem. Accordingly, the thesis uses rich sources of documents from monographs, newspapers, scientific journals, Party and State documents, and previous research works.
The analysis and synthesis method helps to process and synthesize information from many different sources to draw valuable conclusions. Implementation: Analyze data and figures collected from documents and previous studies and synthesize them into the main arguments of the thesis.
The comparative method helps to compare Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on human rights with international theories and practices. Implementation method: Compare the human rights aspects in Ho Chi Minh's thoughts with international standards, thereby drawing out similarities and differences.
Statistical and descriptive methods help illustrate figures and data in a visual and easy-to-understand way. Implementation: Use statistical tools to analyze data, charts, and tables to describe research results.

11.3.2. Conclusion
Human rights are a political, social and legal phenomenon studied from many different perspectives, requiring an objective and scientific approach to perceive and propose appropriate methods to promote, ensure and protect human rights. In modern society, human rights are considered an achievement of human civilization, respected by the international community as well as nations and peoples. Human rights are a measure of social progress, surpassing all ideologies, political regimes, cultural identities and levels of development of nations. In Vietnam, human rights attract great attention from scientists in many fields such as law, philosophy, sociology, political science, development science, and management science.
Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on human rights were formed from the foundation of traditional national culture, inheriting the cultural characteristics of humanity, and skillfully combining theory and practice.
The Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam identify human rights as a noble human value, a common asset of the human family, forged through many historical challenges and constantly developing with human civilization. From that awareness, the consistent and continuous viewpoint and policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam always focus on liberating people from oppression and injustice, while bringing freedom, prosperity and happiness to the people.
In Vietnam, the guarantee and implementation of human rights are always closely linked to the common values ​​recognized by humanity and are inseparable from the process of national renewal. In a socialist-oriented market economy, human rights are placed in a close relationship with collective rights, with national independence as the decisive premise, where the people are the masters and the people are the masters.
Although there have been many efforts in the process of implementing the thesis to summarize the core contents, basic values ​​and initially introduce an overview of the process of ensuring and implementing human rights in Vietnam from 1986 to 2023, the thesis has pointed out outstanding achievements as well as limitations, and proposed a number of solutions to more effectively apply Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on human rights. However, the study still has some limitations: Firstly, accessing international research results on Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on human rights; Secondly, the process of collecting, analyzing and comparing documents and texts related to human rights still needs to be supplemented and updated to ensure comprehensiveness and timeliness. Thirdly, the solutions proposed in the thesis are mainly directional, while more empirical studies are needed to evaluate their practical effectiveness and feasibility.
11.4. New contributions of the thesis
First,The thesis is a systematic and in-depth research work, focusing on clarifying the content, basic values ​​and the process of applying Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights in Vietnam in the period from 1986 to 2023. The outstanding difference of this work compared to previous studies is the multidimensional approach, focusing on two main aspects: (1) the application of Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights through historical periods, and (2) the application of the value of this thought in the period of renovation to 2023. By emphasizing the context of renovation, the work has portrayed a comprehensive picture of how the values ​​of Ho Chi Minh's thought are flexibly and creatively applied to solve political, economic, cultural and social issues in the period of development and international integration. The focus on applying Ho Chi Minh's ideological values ​​in the renovation period has supplemented and enriched the research content on human rights, opening up new perspectives on exploiting Ho Chi Minh's ideology as a valuable asset for national development.
Monday,The thesis has successfully affirmed the fundamental values ​​of Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights, analyzed in political, economic, cultural and social aspects, based on the foundation of modern human rights theory. In terms of politics, the thesis clarifies Ho Chi Minh's views on people's mastery through the rights to vote, freedom of speech and participation in state management. In terms of economics, the thesis emphasizes the right to labor, the right to ownership and the right to enjoy the fruits of labor, which are considered the foundation for improving people's lives. In the cultural field, the right to study and access national and international cultural values ​​is considered by him as the key to liberating knowledge. In the social aspect, basic rights such as the right to health care and social security are given top priority with the view of "nurturing people's health".
Tuesday,The thesis has objectively and comprehensively assessed the process of applying Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights in Vietnam, pointing out the achievements, limitations and causes in the implementation of these rights in specific areas. Achievements, such as ensuring the right to vote and freedom of speech, improving economic life through innovation policies, or developing the education and health systems, have been carefully analyzed. At the same time, the thesis also pointed out the limitations, such as the difference in the implementation of rights between regions, the challenges in ensuring labor rights and social security, or the shortcomings in the legal system and enforcement mechanisms. On that basis, the thesis not only draws lessons from practice but also proposes specific solutions and directions to more effectively apply the values ​​of Ho Chi Minh's thought on human rights to the current national development.
