Nguyen An Ninh's thought on human rights was formed and developed from the objective requirements of the history - society of Vietnam and the world in the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

It is these things that had greatly influenced Nguyen An Ninh's thought on human rights in order to liberate people. According to Nguyen An Ninh, human rights are inviolable, the content of human rights outlined by Nguyen An Ninh is related to the following rights: the right to life; equality; individual liberties; freedom of movement; Freedom of thought includes freedom of the press, freedoms of Speech, Assembly, Association.
