Reports and documents

The human rights record of the Dega since 1975 is written mainly in reports: by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, by governments, by the United Nations, and by Dega organizations themselves. This page lists the ones we rely on, in order, with a line on what each contains. Most are free to read.

For asylum claims

If you are preparing a claim, the documents most often cited by decision-makers are the Human Rights Watch reports of 2002, 2011 and 2015, the US State Department’s annual reports, the UK Home Office country note of December 2024, and the UN findings in What the United Nations has said. Cite the document itself, with its date and page, not this page. We are not lawyers; read Reporting safely before you send anything to anyone.

Human Rights Watch

Amnesty International

Governments and intergovernmental bodies

We do not list documents published by the Vietnamese government or its press.

Dega and other advocacy organizations

These are advocacy documents, written to make a case. We list them because they record names, places and dates nobody else did; where their figures are far from independent ones, our articles say so.

Compiled September 2026. Links change; if one of these no longer works, the title and date will usually find it. If you know of a report that should be here, please tell us.
