The convention consists of 33 articles, including important provisions such as the Basic Rights of the Deceased Person, detention periods, solitary confinement, or emergency cases.
The Ministry of Public Security also introduced the Report on Vietnam's Implementation of the Convention and 14 appendices submitted to the UN Committee on Torture. The workshop was also heard by local and foreign participants to complete Vietnam's report.
