The provincial National Assembly delegation contributed comments to the draft Law on Juvenile Justice and the Law on Prevention and Combat of Human Trafficking (amended)

On the afternoon of September 16, the Provincial National Assembly Delegation held a conference to collect comments on the Draft Law on Juvenile Justice and the Law on Prevention and Combat of Human Trafficking (amended).

Mr. and Mrs. Thai Thi An Chung, Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Mr. Tran Nhat Minh, National Assembly Delegate of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, chaired the conference. Also attending were representatives of Departments, branches, and sectors, representatives of the Provincial Lawyers Association and Bar Association.

Overview of the conference.

The Draft Law on Juvenile Justice consists of 173 articles organized into 5 parts and 11 chapters.

At the conference, the delegates said that the development and promulgation of the Juvenile Justice Law in the current context is very necessary and appropriate. The delegates focused on discussing and commenting on the scope of regulation and tasks of the Law; coordination of juvenile justice; responsibilities of social workers; and measures to handle diversion for juveniles. At the same time, they commented on penalties and procedural measures; preventive measures, coercive measures; execution of prison sentences, community reintegration for juveniles; gender equality in the draft Law; the role of youth organizations participating in litigation activities and community reintegration for juveniles.

Representatives of the Provincial Border Guard contributed opinions at the conference.

Regarding the Law on Prevention and Combat of Human Trafficking (amended), the participants contributed their opinions on a number of key issues in the draft Law, such as: In recent years, the situation of buying and selling fetuses for the purpose of selling children after birth has been a worrying reality, but the handling of this behavior has not been regulated by law. Therefore, the proposal to add the prohibited behavior of "agreeing to buy and sell people while they are still fetuses" is appropriate and in line with the scope of the Law.

Representatives of the Provincial Police contributed opinions at the conference.

To further improve the draft, delegates proposed to add some other tricks such as "taking advantage of study abroad consulting, adoption, taking advantage of sending people to travel abroad; mental intimidation" to Clause 9, Article 2 of the draft Law. Regarding receiving and verifying victims who come to report themselves, it is recommended to review and reconsider the time of receiving, supporting and verifying. Because for a human trafficking case that directly affects the health and life of people, the time to receive, support and verify the initial information of the victim of human trafficking is 3 days, which is too long and inappropriate.

Deputy Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation, Thai Thi An Chung, delivered a concluding speech at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province, Thai Thi An Chung, acknowledged and highly appreciated the comments of the departments, branches and sectors. The comments will be compiled and researched by the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province and commented on at the upcoming National Assembly session.
