Attending the 72^nd session of the 6th Committee of the UN General Assembly on Agenda Item 84 “The rule of law at the national and international levels”, which take place in New York during 4-5 October, Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga has stressed the importance of the rule of law in sustaining peace, enabling sustainable development, protecting and promoting human rights.

Ambassador Nguyen Phuong Nga also mentioned that Vietnam has been upholding and promoting the rule of law with other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to build South East Asia into a zone of peace, stability and prosperity. In the context of complex developments in the East Sea, Vietnam call upon all parties concerned to exercise self- restraint and settle disputes by peaceful means in accordance with international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, fully respect diplomatic and legal processes, implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and expedite the completion of an effective and legally binding Code of Conduct (COC).

Vietnam appreciates the UN efforts in disseminating the international law and strengthening the rule of law at the international and national level and strongly supports the central role of the UN in this field, with the hope that the UN will continue its support to member states in formulating and implementing legislations.
