The National Assembly conducts question-and-answer sessions in the field of Justice.

Comrade Vuong Dinh Hue - Member of the Political Bureau, Chairman of the National Assembly - presided over the meeting. Attending the opening of the interpellation session at the National Assembly building were President Vo Van Thuong, the Vice Chairmen of the National Assembly, the Deputy Prime Minister, agencies under the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, and Ministers and members of the Government. At the Binh Thuan branch, attendees included: Comrade Duong Van An - Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Binh Thuan National Assembly Delegation; Nguyen Huu Thong - Deputy Head of the Binh Thuan National Assembly Delegation; National Assembly Deputies from Binh Thuan; and leaders of relevant departments and agencies.

Comrade Nguyen Huu Thong – Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Binh Thuan province – raised the issue during the questioning session.

During the interpellation session, Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Binh Thuan province, Nguyen Huu Thong, questioned two issues: whether legal work in localities has not received adequate attention; and the significant backlog of legal documents hindering implementation at the local level. Regarding these two issues, Minister of Justice Le Thanh Long acknowledged that the issue of delayed or overdue legal documents remains unresolved. The reasons include too many provisions requiring detailed regulations, or resolutions with short validity periods requiring replacements. Offering solutions, the Minister of Justice stated that the Prime Minister has issued a resolution on several solutions to overcome obstacles and shortcomings in the drafting of legal documents, including regulations ensuring administrative discipline in the drafting and promulgation of legal normative documents. In the long term, lawmaking requires clear regulations on many specific issues within the law, ensuring discipline in the drafting and promulgation of legal documents.

Responding to questions regarding human resources in the field of Justice, particularly the team of legal officers and experts, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra stated that the current number of legal officers and experts is insufficient. There are two main reasons: firstly, obstacles arising from the Party's policy on reorganizing the organizational structure and streamlining personnel, which necessitates the restructuring of legal organizations in localities; and secondly, this is a difficult, complex, and sensitive field, making it challenging to recruit additional personnel due to difficult policies and the need for in-depth professional expertise. Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Justice are developing a plan for the development of human resources in the field of Justice in general, including the team of legal officers and experts, for the period 2023-2030. The plan focuses on recruitment, utilization, and related policy mechanisms. At the same time, attention should be paid to training, developing, and updating the knowledge and job requirements of this team so that they can meet the demands of the new situation…
