In Support of a U.S. Policy Shift to Sell Lethal Weapons to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Abstract

In the past, United States government officials denied the government of Vietnams request to buy lethal arms and pursue a greater military bilateral relationship due to the country's poor human rights record. The research will examine Vietnam's human rights record, and explore ramifications the potential sale of lethal weapons could have on U.S.-Vietnam bilateral relations and its effect on Vietnam's military relations in the region.
