The workshop discussed full-time commune policing, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of local people, refuting allegations that the Vietnamese Government neglects ethnic minorities in remote and border areas, accusations that Vietnam has violated human rights, and Lai Chau’s efforts to eliminate human trafficking and help rescued victims of human trafficking stabilize their lives.
