NA Standing Committee meets

06/10/2008 -- 8:55 PM

Hanoi (VNA) – The 13 th meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee opened in Hanoi on Oct. 6 under the chairmanship of NA Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong. The NA Standing Committee listened to and commented upon reports on 2008’s performance, presented by the Chief Judge of the Supreme People’s Court and the Director of the Supreme People’s Procuracy and the Government’s report on the implementation of court decisions and the fight against crimes and violations of the law in 2008. According to the NA Judicial Committee’s verification report, recorded crimes and violations of the law increased this year, particularly serious crime and new crimes. In addition, sharp increases in the prices of essential commodities, complex developments in the financial, monetary and real estate markets and the occurrence of natural disasters and epidemics in many localities have had adverse impacts on socio-economic development and security. Judicial agencies have made great efforts to fulfill their duties, detecting and punishing criminal acts and violations of the law, resolving civil and administrative cases and implementing the courts’ decisions. Progress has been made in the areas of crime detection, investigation, prosecution and bringing cases to trial. The Chairman of the NA Defence and Security Committee Le Quang Binh and many other members of the NA Standing Committee have urged judiciary agencies and the government to carefully analyse factors underlying the increased number of crimes in order to take more effective measures to combat and prevent such violations of the law. Chairman of the Council of Ethnic Minorities Ksor Phuoc, Chairman of the Law Committee Nguyen Van Thuan, Chairman of the Ombudsman Committee Tran The Vuong, and Chairman of the Committee for Social Affairs Truong Thi Mai stressed the importance of crime prevention, saying that preventative measures are by far the most effective measures.-Enditem
