Vietnam working to improve efficiency of law implementation on human rights: Expert
After more than 35 years of renewal, the Vietnamese State has established a legal system to regulate social relationships, with a focus on building relatively comprehensive laws on human rights which align with the country’s development realities and gradually become compatible with international regulations on human rights, according to an expert.
Speaking at a meeting on human rights work on October 24, Assoc. Prof., Dr. Tuong Duy Kien, Director of the Institute for Human Rights under the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, said that in its 13th tenure, the National Assembly adopted the 2013 Constitution, which is considered a pinnacle in constitutional activities for the protection of human rights. To concretise the constitutional principles, during the 2016–2021 term alone, the legislature and its Standing Committee enacted 72 laws, two ordinances, and numerous resolutions containing relevant legal provisions. Among these, there are laws that play significant roles in the legal system, including new laws and policies that are introduced for the first time, have a substantial and comprehensive impact on socio-economic life, and respond to practical demands in a timely way.
