Article 48of the Law on Handling Administrative Violations stipulates theresponsibility of People’s Courts in administrating punishment. However,there have been no concrete regulations on disruptions that hinder thecourts’ procedural activities.
Therefore, the committee’s members agreed on the need to issue the ordinance in order to address bottlenecks in this work.
The draft ordinance listed actions that compromise the safety andintegrity of trials, oppose the courts’ summons and blacken the honour,prestige and health of on-duty officials.
However,many raised their voice against the draft ordinance, reasoning thatseveral articles and clauses have failed to meet the committee’srequirements set at the previous meeting.
They suggested the drafting agency continue adjusting the document to make it better.
Addressing the event, NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu said the draftordinance has yet to ensure constitutional and legal characters, askingthe agency abide by the legislature’s resolution on its issuance andacquire opinions of the committee’s members.
Herequested the Council for Ethic Affairs, other committees and agenciesof the NA to continue cautiously reviewing draft laws which arescheduled to be discussed at the seventh sitting.-VNA
