Specifically, the Department of Prosecution and Supervision of Economic Case Investigation (Department 3) and the Department of Prosecution and Supervision of Corruption and Position Case Investigation (Department 5) will be merged into the "Department of Prosecution and Supervision of Economic Case Investigation and Corruption".

In addition, the Supreme People's Procuracy also merged the Hanoi University of Procuracy (T2) and the School of Training and Fostering Procuracy Professionals in Ho Chi Minh City (T3) into "University of Procuracy", with a Branch of the University of Procuracy in Ho Chi Minh City.

At the same time, the activities of the Emulation and Reward Department were ended and the tasks were transferred to the Office of the Supreme People's Procuracy.

Restructure and reorganize the Department of Legislation and Science Management and the Procuracy Magazine into two units: the Department of Legislation and the Institute of Procuracy Science.

In addition, edit the names of some units under the Supreme People's Procuracy, ensuring they are concise and general but still fully reflect the functions and tasks of the unit.

After discussion, 100% of the members of the National Assembly Standing Committee passed a resolution approving the proposal of the Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Procuracy on the organization of the Supreme People's Procuracy.

Accordingly, the Supreme People's Procuracy has 24 units including 14 departments: Prosecution and Investigation of Security Cases; Prosecution and Investigation of Social Order Cases; Prosecution and Investigation of Economic and Corruption Cases; Prosecution and Investigation of Drug Cases; Prosecution and Investigation of Judicial Cases; Prosecution and Investigation of Criminal Trials; Prosecution of Detention and Execution of Criminal Sentences; Prosecution of Civil Cases; Prosecution of Administrative and Commercial Cases; Prosecution of Civil Sentences; Prosecution of Judicial Complaints and Denunciations; International Cooperation and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters; Legislation; Organization and Personnel.

In addition, the Supreme People's Procuracy also has: the Procuracy Committee; Office; the Supreme People's Procuracy Investigation Agency; the Department of Crime Statistics and Digital Transformation; the Department of Finance; Inspectorate; the University of Procuracy (with a branch of the University of Procuracy in Ho Chi Minh City); the Institute of Procuracy Science; the Law Protection Newspaper; the Central Military Procuracy.

This Resolution comes into force from the date of its adoption.

The examining agency said that there were opinions that the draft resolution removing the regulation on the limit on the number of deputies of the Supreme People's Procuracy and deputies of departments, divisions, and offices under the working apparatus of the Supreme People's Procuracy could easily lead to the understanding that the Supreme People's Procuracy will no longer have a limit on the appointment of the number of deputies.

In the context of implementing the Party's policy on streamlining the apparatus and staff, this opinion believes that it is necessary to retain the regulation on the number of deputies in the draft resolution but add special cases due to the rearrangement of the apparatus to implement the Party's policy. In case this content is not further regulated in the draft resolution, it must be regulated in another document of the competent state agency.
