On the morning of March 6, the Ministry of Justice and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics organized a national scientific conference "Innovation in thinking about building and enforcing laws to meet the needs of national development in the new era".

Speaking at the workshop, Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission Phan Dinh Trac emphasized the urgent need to innovate the work of building and enforcing laws to meet the requirements of national development in the new era. This requirement was set forth in Resolution 27 of the Central Committee.

He noted that the legal system must be democratic, fair, humane, complete, timely, synchronous, unified, public, transparent, stable, feasible and accessible. The work of building and enforcing laws must be centered on people and businesses, both ensuring the requirements of state management and creating development with international competitiveness.

In addition, this work must remove bottlenecks, unblock all resources, promote potential, encourage creativity, protect those who dare to think, dare to do, dare to innovate for the common good; attract and use talents, welcome new things...

To meet those requirements, Mr. Phan Dinh Trac noted that it is necessary to innovate thinking about law, thinking about building and enforcing law. In particular, it is necessary to ensure direct and comprehensive leadership, and enhance the Party's character in building and enforcing law.

The Party issues policies and leads the institutionalization of them into laws. The Party leads the enforcement of laws to ensure the supremacy of the Constitution and the law.

To bring the law into life, the Party strengthens inspection and supervision of the institutionalization of policies and guidelines into laws and the implementation of regulations on power control, prevention of corruption, negativity, and group interests in the work of building and enforcing laws.

“We must put life into the law before putting law into life. We must definitely abandon the mindset of ‘if you can’t manage it, then ban it’. People and businesses can do what the law does not prohibit. What is prohibited is regulated in the law. What is not prohibited is created space for innovation, promoting the method of management based on results, strongly shifting from pre-control to post-control,” Mr. Trac affirmed.

He noted that it is necessary to mobilize all economic sectors, businesses and people to participate in socio-economic development, labor production, creating material and spiritual wealth to contribute to the growth and development of the country.

The Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission also noted the need to innovate thinking in law enforcement work towards promoting the spirit of serving the people, creating development, and acting for the common interests of the team of cadres and civil servants in law enforcement agencies...

In addition, he also requested proactive application of artificial intelligence, urgent construction of national digital platforms, development of databases to ensure unified, interconnected operations and data exploitation; focusing on improving the quality of policies, laws and quality of draft legal documents.

"The skill to convert policy into legal documents and language is extremely difficult, not everyone can do it. If you really do not have the skills, the grammar is not strict, the language is not clear and especially if you do not have passion and responsibility, you cannot do it," said Mr. Phan Dinh Trac.

The Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission also requested to continue perfecting the law on the organization and operation of institutions in the political system, meeting the requirements of building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam in the new period, ensuring streamlining - compactness - strength, efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency.

In particular, the Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission noted that it is necessary to perfect criminal law and judicial proceedings, further innovate criminal policies, and soon build a legal corridor for new, non-traditional issues such as: Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum technology, digital economy, digital currency, population aging, environmental pollution, etc.

Dare to replace and eliminate laws that are no longer appropriate

Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council and Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics Nguyen Xuan Thang also said that it is necessary to innovate thinking about building and enforcing laws to respond to changes of the times.

That is to shift from management thinking to governance thinking, serving development; from passive, reactive thinking, focusing on handling violations to proactive thinking, focusing on new issues that need timely legal adjustment; ending the situation of "can't manage, then ban".

Besides, Mr. Thang also noted, reducing administrative thinking, increasing thinking of serving people and businesses, creating development; building laws to serve the completion and synchronization of institutions for rapid and sustainable development of the country.

Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang pointed out the need to innovate the way of building and implementing laws. Perfecting the mechanism of "one law amending many laws" to promptly amend and overcome conflicting and overlapping regulations in the legal system.

He also emphasized daring to replace and eliminate laws that are no longer suitable instead of just "amending and supplementing", focusing on building new laws with new approaches...
