Von der KAS Vietnam und dem Justizministerium gemeinsam organisierter Workshop

In den letzten Jahren hat Vietnam erhebliche Fortschritte bei der Perfektionierung seines Rechtssystems zur Regulierung wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Aspekte gemacht. Während der Gesetzgebungsprozess jedoch bemerkenswerte Fortschritte gemacht hat, haben die Organisation und die Durchsetzung der Gesetze nicht mit den Anforderungen der Entwicklung Schritt gehalten, was gewisse Mängel und Einschränkungen mit sich bringt. Einer der Hauptgründe für diese Situation ist das Fehlen einer vollständigen Institutionalisierung der Organisation der Strafverfolgung. Im Jahr 2023 erließ die vietnamesische Regierung die Resolution Nr. 77/NQ-CP, die ein Aktionsprogramm zur Umsetzung der Resolution Nr. 27-NQ/TW des 13. Zentralkomitees der Partei aus dem Jahr 2022 enthält. Parteizentralkomitee im Jahr 2022. Die Resolution Nr. 27-NQ/TW legt den Schwerpunkt auf Innovationen im Strafverfolgungsmechanismus und die enge Verknüpfung von Gesetzesentwicklung und -umsetzung, um eine effektive und effiziente Durchsetzung zu gewährleisten.
