With 94.25 percent of votes in favor, the National Assembly (NA) on June 24 passed the revised Law on the Organization of People's Courts.
With nine chapters and 152 articles, the law introduces new policies and regulations on the organization and operation of the courts, and various agencies such as investigation, procuracy, and civil judgment enforcement agencies.
At the NA's ongoing seventh session, Chairwoman of the NA's Committee for Judicial Affairs Le Thi Nga reported that the NA Standing Committee issued a full report on June 22, providing explanations on and revisions to the draft for further review and approval.
The draft law maintains the current regulations regarding province- and district-level People's Courts.
Among the adjusted provisions, it permits audio recording of the entire court proceedings and meetings, while video recording requires the consent of the presiding judge and relevant parties as stipulated.-(VLLF)
