On the morning of August 22, continuing the 36th Session, the National Assembly Standing Committee organized questions and answers on the second group of fields, including: justice; internal affairs; security, order, and social safety; inspection; court; and prosecution.

Questioning the situation of cybercrime, delegate Nguyen Anh Tri (Hanoi) in the afternoon session of August 21 assessed that cybercrime is becoming increasingly serious and fierce. The delegate said: “According to the Minister of Information and Communications and the Prime Minister, the cyber society is the same as the real society... Voters believe that the Government needs to organize a more comprehensive, more systematic, and more complete cybercrime fighting force to be able to prevent cybercrime.”

From there, delegate Nguyen Anh Tri asked the Government to state its viewpoint on organizing forces to prevent and combat cybercrime in the coming time.

Responding to questions related to cybercrime and high-tech crime, Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang said that cybercrime and high-tech crime are not unique to Vietnam.

This is one of the non-traditional security challenges that countries around the world are facing. The United Nations is proposing the United Nations International Cybercrime Convention, which will be signed in the near future, and the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security will be one of the members signing this agreement.

"This type of crime has three characteristics that make it difficult to detect and handle: no borders, high anonymity, high technology level; almost everything in real life is also available online, and what is only one in real life can be multiplied many times online. Therefore, the solution to combat this type of crime must also be specific," the Minister commented.

The Minister said that recently, the Ministry of Public Security has been implementing many solutions to combat cybercrime and high-tech crime.

Specifically, promote the application of citizens' electronic identification accounts, which are considered "identity in cyberspace" to authenticate identity when participating in activities serving State management, limiting anonymity and fraud.

At the same time, it is necessary to apply and connect with the National Population Database to promptly verify information, clean up bank accounts, eliminate virtual accounts, clean up mobile subscriber accounts, eliminate junk SIM cards, thereby limiting high-tech crimes, especially fraud crimes.

The Ministry of Public Security is also strengthening and enhancing the potential and operational efficiency of the cyber security force and preventing and combating high-tech crimes.

"According to Resolution No. 12 of the Politburo on promoting the building of a truly clean, strong, disciplined, elite, and modern People's Public Security force that meets the requirements and tasks in the new situation, the Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention and Control force is one of the six forces that must advance to modernity by 2025. Therefore, we also need the support, participation, and strengthening of the potential of localities and other social resources," the Minister emphasized.

The Ministry of Public Security has also arranged a Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention force at the local police, all 63 provinces and cities have this force, which is the main force; at the same time, other forces of the Ministry of Public Security have also been improved in skills and means to fight against high-tech crimes according to their target system.

“Tackling cybercrime and high-tech crime is the responsibility of the entire political system, ministries, sectors and localities. If the above breakthrough solutions are well implemented, it will be possible to create positive changes in the coming time,” the Minister of Public Security emphasized.

In the coming time, the Ministry of Public Security also recommends that people need to raise their awareness of self-management, self-prevention, and self-resistance to prevent high-tech crimes and property fraud, such as being vigilant when receiving strange calls; checking and updating security features on social network accounts; not providing personal information to unknown people; being cautious when conducting electronic and online transactions and promptly notifying authorities when suspecting criminal activities...

Questioning the Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Procuracy, delegate Pham Van Hoa (Dong Thap) said that, according to the report, the quality of appeals of administrative cases, appeals of final judgment, and retrials of civil cases is still limited.

The rate of appeals accepted by the court was only 61%, and the rate of administrative appeals was only 46.3%, lower than the target assigned by the National Assembly. The delegates asked the Chief Justice to explain the cause of the above situation.

Regarding administrative cases, Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court Le Minh Tri said that administrative cases are difficult and complex in nature. Their resolution requires the application of many different legal documents from many periods and they often change.

This leads to difficulties in assessing evidence and applying the law to resolve the issue. In fact, the proportion of administrative cases related to land accounts for 70-80% - this is the most complicated and difficult area to resolve.

Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Procuracy Le Minh Tri said that the fundamental solution is to supplement and adjust the Law on Administrative Procedures to be stronger and more feasible in implementation./.
