On the afternoon of January 16, in Hanoi, Ms. Nguyen Quynh Lien, member of the Presidium, Head of the Committee for Democracy, Supervision and Social Criticism of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front chaired a discussion conference to plan the contents that need to focus on social criticism of the draft Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (amended).
Speaking at the Conference, Ms. Nguyen Quynh Lien, Head of the Committee for Democracy, Supervision and Social Criticism of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, said that based on the study of the advantages and limitations of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (amended in 2020) and the provisions of this draft Law, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front proposed a number of issues that need to be focused on for social criticism, which will be held on January 20, 2025.
Issues include regulations on the rights and responsibilities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and people in participating in law-making; regulations on supervision and social criticism activities of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the process and procedures for developing and promulgating legal documents; regulations on the order and procedures for developing and promulgating legal documents of the subjects in the draft Law; on clearly defining legislative and regulatory authority; on innovating the process of developing and promulgating legal documents, focusing on regulations on innovating the process of developing and promulgating legal documents of the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee; regulations on the process of developing and promulgating legal documents according to shortened procedures; regulations on decentralization associated with the responsibilities of heads of agencies in charge of drafting and the ultimate responsibility of agencies submitting the draft law.
Contributing opinions on the content that needs to focus on social criticism of the draft Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (amended) at the upcoming official criticism conference, Mr. Do Duy Thuong, Deputy Head of the Advisory Council for Democracy and Law of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, said that it is necessary to review and determine the position and role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the draft Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents (amended). The draft Law also needs to clearly state the authority of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in accordance with the provisions of law.
According to Dr. Nguyen Quang Minh, Senior Expert of the Department of Democracy, Supervision and Social Criticism of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, it is necessary to identify key issues to participate in social criticism, avoiding spreading to achieve the best results. Specifically, it is necessary to add the issue of promoting democracy, including the principle of ensuring people's participation in the process of building policies and laws, as a consistent guideline in the draft Law. From this principle, it is also necessary to clearly define the process of ensuring the participation of organizations and individuals.
"It is necessary to further promote the role of the Front and the role of the people in policy and law making. There should be a separate chapter in the draft Law regulating the authority and process of participating in giving opinions and social criticism of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and the people," Mr. Minh proposed.
Receiving the opinions discussed at the Conference, Ms. Nguyen Quynh Lien affirmed that the opinions are of great significance, helping the review document to have the best quality, contributing to perfecting the draft Law on Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents (amended), in line with the new legislative thinking, thereby continuing to build and perfect the Socialist Republic of Vietnam's rule of law state in the new period.
