A resolution recognizing the contributions of the Montagnard indigenous tribespeople of the Central Highlands of Vietnam to the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, and condemning the ongoing violation of human rights by the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
This resolution (SRES 395) recognizes the service of approximately 61,000 Montagnard indigenous people from Vietnam's Central Highlands who fought alongside U.S. forces during the Vietnam War, including 43,000 in Civilian Irregular Defense Groups (CIDGs). It condemns the Vietnamese government's ongoing human rights violations against Montagnards, citing documented abuses such as forced religious renunciation, land confiscation, imprisonment for peaceful protests, and restrictions on religious practice. The resolution specifically references U.S. government reports (2022 Human Rights and Religious Freedom Reports) detailing systematic discrimination and violence targeting Montagnard Christians in the Central Highlands. It urges the U.S. government to support Montagnards and other marginalized groups while calling on Vietnam to end these abuses and respect basic rights.
