Over the last few years, the role of judiciary agencies has been enhanced. They have effectively handled pending court cases and increased their jurisdiction over the People’s Courts at district levels.

In his speech, President Triet said remarkable progress has been made in implementing Politburo Resolution No 49 by improving the quality of investigations, prosecutions, judgments, and court rulings.

However, he also pointed out weaknesses such as corruption, the failure to train qualified judiciary staff and poor investment in technical facilities for judiciary agencies. Mr Triet underlined the need to establish a justice academy to provide better professional skills for the judiciary sector.
