At the working session, the units proposed and recommended that the National Assembly and the Government continue to review and improve the legal system and policies on cultural heritage to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management in the protection and promotion of the values of the nation's cultural heritage. Complete regulations on responsibilities, powers, working relationships as well as coordination mechanisms between state management agencies on culture at the central and local levels in managing activities to protect and promote the values of cultural heritage. Soon promulgate the amended and supplemented Law on Cultural Heritage in accordance with current regulations, especially the Law on Public Investment and the Law on Construction. Promulgation, amendment and supplementation of legal documents in other fields should be based on the provisions of the Law on Cultural Heritage to avoid causing difficulties for localities in implementation. The upcoming Law on Cultural Heritage should have specific regulations on the type of documentary cultural heritage to have a basis for proposing measures for preservation and promotion. The law also needs to regulate land ownership in relics (comprehensive management of land, environmental landscapes such as forests, water systems, mountains and hills) and penalties for violations of relics...
