The Draft Law approved by the National Assembly stipulates that Intermediate Investigators and Senior Investigators are the Chief of Commune-level Police or Deputy Chief of Commune-level Police assigned by the Head of the Provincial Investigation Agency to conduct prosecution and investigation of cases of less serious crimes and serious crimes occurring in the commune-level area with the duties and powers prescribed in this Code, except for decisions to apply, change, or cancel special investigative measures.

The Law stipulates that the Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuracy may authorize the Prosecutor holding the position of Chief Prosecutor, Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Procuracy and the appellate trial prosecutor to perform a number of tasks and powers: Directly organize and direct the activities of practicing the right to prosecute and supervise the trial; the right to make recommendations; decide to assign, change, inspect the activities and decide to change or cancel the unfounded and illegal decisions of the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the Procuracy and the appellate trial prosecutor, Prosecutor, and Inspector.

The Prosecution and Appellate Procuracy will be located in three regions ( Hanoi , Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City). Therefore, to ensure that appeals are made quickly and promptly, while also ensuring compliance with the roles and tasks of the Prosecution and Appellate Procuracy (reviewing first-instance judgments and decisions of provincial-level people's courts), the draft law also amends and supplements the provisions that the Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuracy is authorized to the Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecution and Appellate Procuracy to exercise the right to appeal according to the appellate procedure against judgments and decisions of the Court in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code.

The Law is amended and supplemented in the direction of specifically stipulating that after 1 year from the date of receiving the opinion of the Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court and the Chief Prosecutor of the Supreme People's Procuracy, if the President does not issue a decision on clemency, the competent authority shall immediately notify the Chief Justice of the Court of first instance of the lack of a decision on clemency from the President so that the Chief Justice of the Court of first instance can organize the execution of the death sentence according to regulations.
