NA approves special mechanisms to address legal obstacles
The 15th National Assembly passed a resolution on special mechanisms to address inconsistencies arising from legal regulations, with 397 out of the 411 deputies present voting in favour, during its ongoing 9th session in Hanoi on June 24.
The resolution, covering seven articles, delineates clear criteria, principles, procedures, and responsibilities for resolving problems caused by legal regulations. It notes that matters concerning human rights and citizens’ fundamental rights and obligations governed by law, the restriction of human rights and citizens' rights, crimes and punishments, judicial proceedings, and basic principles on apparatus organisation are not subject to the mechanisms stipulated in the resolution.
The resolution pinpoints legal obstacles to development, citing contradictory or overlapping regulations, unclear or impractical laws, high compliance costs, or regulatory gaps that stifle innovation, new growth drivers, resource unlocking, economic expansion, and global integration.
A key provision empowers the Government to issue temporary legal resolutions to amend or adjust some articles of the existing laws and resolutions it previously proposed, pending formal legislative updates. These resolutions must be reported to the NA or its Standing Committee at the next session.
Effective immediately upon its adoption, the resolution will remain in force until February 28, 2027.
