Le Vietnam dispose d’un territoire exigu et escarpé stratégiquement situé en Asie du Sud-Est, au carrefour de différentes influences. En découle une histoire dense, marquée par la domination chinoise, puis française, avant que le pays ne devienne l’un des points chauds de la guerre froide et de l’affrontements entre forces communistes et occidentales.

Depuis, le régime vietnamien s’est engagé dans une politique de renouveau qui a permis l’ouverture de l’économie vietnamienne au monde et un développement rapide du niveau de vie, parallèlement à une importante croissance démographique. Le parti-État est désormais confronté à de multiples défis. Le vieillissement de la population le pousse à repenser son modèle de développement. Il s’agit de transformer son économie pour poursuivre sa montée en puissance économique et commerciale. Parallèlement, le Viêtnam doit faire face aux risques climatiques qui pèsent sur son agriculture, un secteur économique central.

L’émergence du pays se traduit également d’un point de vue stratégique et diplomatique. Membre actif de l’ASEAN, le Viêtnam est également au cœur des rivalités sino-américaines en Asie Pacifique. Hanoï doit naviguer entre son imposant voisin, aux revendications territoriales contradictoires aux siennes en mer de Chine, son principal fournisseur et Washington, principale destination de ses exportations, qui cherche à se rapprocher d’Hanoï dans sa rivalité avec Pékin. Face à cela, le Viêtnam développe la «diplomatie du bambou» et cherche à diversifier ses partenaires à l’échelle régionale et internationale pour réduire sa dépendance à l’égard des deux superpuissances.

Comment l’histoire du Viêtnam a-t-elle façonné sa géopolitique contemporaine ? À quels défis Hanoï fait-elle face pour préserver sa croissance économique ? Quel est son rôle sur les scènes régionale et internationale ?

Five former UN Secretaries-Generals
 
United Nations Faces Crisis Amid Global Retreat on Rights and Democracy

By Widad Franco
UNITED NATIONS, Feb 13 2026 (IPS)

United Nations member countries will select a new UN secretary-general this year to succeed António Guterres in January 2027. The change in leadership comes at a time when human rights and democracy, as well as the international organizations created to uphold those principles and provide lifesaving assistance, are under unprecedented attack.

So far member countries have formally nominated only two candidates: former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi from Argentina.

The threats to the global human rights system demand a courageous leader at the UN who will put human rights at the heart of its agenda. Yet the selection process gives veto power over any candidate to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council: Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States.

But human rights are clearly not a priority for China, Russia, or the United States.

Human Rights Watch and others have long documented attempts by China and Russia to defund and undermine the UN’s human rights pillar. More recently, the United States, which played a key role in creating the UN and its human rights architecture in 1945, has rejected and defunded dozens of UN programs promoting rights and humanitarian assistance.

The Trump administration has also withheld billions of dollars in UN dues, which has been a major factor in the organization’s crippling financial crisis. While Washington recently announced an initial payment toward its arrears, its actions have nonetheless seriously affected the UN’s ability to do its work.

US President Donald Trump has also been trying to sideline the UN by establishing a “Board of Peace,” modeled after the Security Council, with himself as chairman for life. Invited leaders include serial rights abusers from China, Belarus, Hungary, and Saudi Arabia, along with two men—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin—facing International Criminal Court warrants.

The UN needs a leader willing to stand up to major powers and abusive governments to defend victims of abuses and marginalized communities, and aggressively support accountability for serious crimes.

As member states nominate additional candidates, they should put forward a diverse pool, especially women and others with proven track records on human rights, and ensure a competitive and transparent process that places an exceptional individual committed to human rights atop the UN.

Progress on SDG 6 — ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all — remains critically off-track. With none of its eight targets on course to be met by 2030, this commentary argues that the shortfall reflects not merely implementation failures, but a deeper conceptual problem: water governance frameworks rely on a homogeneous, techno-centric understanding of water that ignores its multiple social, cultural, political, and ecological dimensions. We introduce the concept of "waterS" (plural, capitalised) to foreground this multiplicity. Drawing on the Spanish aguas, the term captures the diverse forms, values, and meanings water holds across different communities and contexts — from a measurable substance (H₂O) to a spiritual entity, a living being, or the foundation of social and hydrosocial relations. This stands in contrast to SDG 6's universalist framing, rooted in Western modernist traditions, which reduces water governance to engineering, hygiene, and risk management. Through empirical examples — from peri-urban water use in India, desalination conflicts in Antofagasta, Chile, and infrastructure-led rural water projects in Telangana, India — we demonstrate how standardised technical approaches perpetuate inequities in access, marginalise Indigenous and local governance systems, and reproduce power imbalances in participation and decision-making. We further critique the commodification of water, the limits of market-based governance, and the inadequacy of current monitoring frameworks that rely on aggregate national data while overlooking lived local realities. Looking ahead to the post-2030 agenda and the 2026 UN Water Conference, we propose a paradigm shift toward power-sensitive, pluralistic governance frameworks. Key recommendations include community-led participatory planning, legal recognition of customary water rights, equity-based financial models, citizen-science data collection, and rights-based approaches that centre marginalized groups — especially women, youth, and Indigenous Peoples — in water decision-making.
