A diaspora religious freedom advocacy account of the 1997 recognition of a reorganised Cao Dai governing body, stating that the Vietnamese government approved its charter on 9 May 1997 by Decision No. 10/QD/TGCP, that the charter itself was dated 5 April 1997 and drafted under the Tay Ninh provincial government's direction, and that the recognised body renamed itself in 2007. The account argues at length that the recognised body is not the legitimate continuation of the pre-1975 Cao Dai Religion, a contested characterisation this atlas does not adopt; only its checkable legal citations are used.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A diaspora advocacy account arguing one side of a live legitimacy dispute, tier three; its interpretive claims are not used, only its citation of the government's own decision number and dates, which is the kind of checkable fact an interested account can still be relied on for. The page carries no publication date of its own, named here rather than left silent. NotesUsed only for the 1997 recognition's decision number and dates, not for its characterisation of the recognised body.
