Innovating and Improving the Efficiency of Law Implementation Organization in the Period 2025 – 2030

Workshop co-organized by KAS Vietnam and Ministry of Justice

In recent years, Vietnam has made significant strides in perfecting its legal system to regulate all aspects of economic and social life. However, while the legislative process has achieved notable progress, the organization and enforcement of laws have not kept pace with development requirements, revealing certain shortcomings and limitations. One of the main reasons for this situation is the lack of full institutionalization in law enforcement organization. In 2023, the Vietnamese Government issued Resolution No. 77/NQ-CP, outlining an action program to implement Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW issued by the 13th Party Central Committee in 2022. Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW emphasizes innovation in the law enforcement mechanism, closely linking law development and implementation to ensure effective, and efficient enforcement.
