National Assembly deputies discussed the draft amendments to the 1992 Constitution in groups at their ongoing fifth session in Hanoi on May 27.

Policymakers said the activity upholds the people’s right to mastery, raising a sense of responsibility in every individual, agency and organisation to devise and enforce the legal document.

According to them, it is necessary to maintain Clause 4 on the Party’s leadership role.
As for human rights, citizens’ basic rights and obligations, they highly valued the description of human rights in the draft document which covers their civic, political, socio-economic, and cultural rights in accordance with international treaties to which Vietnam is a member.
Regarding the land issue, many opinions reaffirmed that the draft amendments continuing to affirm that land belong to all people and the State’s role as an ownership representative is suitable.
