A Vietnamese delegation from the Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reform led by deputy head Le Thi Thu Ba paid a working visit to Italy from November 16-19 to study the country’s judicial activities.
During the working sessions, Thu Ba introduced the court system and the outcomes of judicial reform in Vietnam, especially since the Politburo issued Resolution No 49 on judicial reform strategy until 2020.
Notably, the adopted 2013 Constitution clearly specifies duties of judicial agencies that is to protect human and civil rights.
Many laws and codes related to the organization and operations of judicial agencies-the Law on the Organization of the People's Courts, the Law on the Organization of the People's Procuracy, the Criminal Procedure Code and the Civil Procedure Code- are to be adopted by the Vietnam National Assembly (NA) aiming to concretize the 2013 Constitution, institutionalize and implement guidelines and tasks of judicial reform, Ba said.
Vice President of the Italian Supreme Council of Magistrates , Giovanni Legnini hailed the judicial reform process of Vietnam and the role of the Steering Committee for Judicial Reform in this process, as well as humanity of the Vietnam judicial system.
“The judicial reform process is a thorny problem in which the judicial sector must ensure independence and protect people’s rights. However, with its experience and long-standing judicial system, Italy is ready to contribute to Vietnam’s judicial reform process ” Legnini asserted.
The two sides also exchanged experiences in amendments to several laws such as criminal and civil codes and human resource training in connection with legal and judicial activities.
