Draft laws on Legal Aid, State responsibility for compensation discussed
VOV.VN - National Assembly (NA) deputies have agreed on the importance of issuing a Law on Legal Aid to make the work more professional and effectively utilize resources when providing legal services for those in need.
At the National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee meeting in Hanoi on September 20, lawmakers recommended that all people entitled to legal aid should be included in the law to ensure citizen’s rights.
Representatives from investigative agencies asked the government to clarify the kind of people in need of legal aid over the past years, as well as ways and locations for providing legal aid.
Deputies also focused on the need to review practical demands, anticipate the resources for law enforcement in accordance with the country’s socio-economic situation, and ensure the regulations’ feasibility.
The same day, NA members also gave opinions on the draft law on the State responsibility for compensation.
They said the compensation should respect agreements between parties involved and avoid resolving damage compensation through administrative procedures.
According to the deputies, the most important thing is that the parties concerned should reach consensus on the level of damage and compensation.
