Hai Duong provincial levels, departments, and unions have executed many synchronous and comprehensive solutions to make the Constitution quickly come into life.
The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam officially became effective from January 1, 2014. Being clearly aware that this is the basic and original law with the highest legal effect, Hai Duong provincial levels, departments, and unions over the past time have executed many synchronous and comprehensive solutions to make the Constitution quickly come into life.
As soon as the provincial People’s Committee promulgated a plan for enforcing the Constitution in the province, departments, unions, and local authorities also issued plans for organizing Constitution propaganda and enforcement in their units and localities.
The Justice Department has held 15 training courses, disseminating the Constitution’s contents to all legal speakers at district level, teachers of law and civic education at professional and senior high schools, legal propagandists, and grassroots Youth Union staff. These are core forces in Constitution propaganda and dissemination.
Provincial departments, unions, and local authorities have also had many creative ways to propagandize the Constitution’s contents.
Shortly after the Constitution come into effect, the Chi Linh Lawyers’ Association printed and copied the new Constitution document and National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung’s speech after the Constitution promulgation for distribution to all members. The Association asked its members to thoroughly grasp some basic chapters and articles on human rights, civic obligations, economic regulations, etc. as a basis for legal propaganda and counseling to the people.
Along with the use of a team of legal propagandists and speakers, Tu Ky district authorities have also utilized speaker and propagandist teams of Party cells and organizations for propagandizing and disseminating the Constitution.
The district Justice Division has actively coordinated with departments and unions, such as the provincial Center for State Legal Aid, the Fatherland Front, Elderly Associations, Youth Unions, and Centers for Population and Family Planning of the district and 27 communes and district towns in the district to propagandize and disseminate the Constitution to all officers, workers, civil servants, laborers, and union members. At propaganda sessions, together with document distribution, speakers provided main contents of the Constitution, focusing on issues close to people’s lives.
For effective Constitution propaganda, the district authorities have also brought into full play the roles and responsibilities of levels, departments, Fatherland Front, and socio-political unions mobilizing the people to well observe regulations of the Constitution and laws.
To help workers and laborers quickly grasp basic contents of the Constitution, the provincial Labor Confederation has required each trade union above the grassroots level to hold at least one training session to diffuse the Constitution’s contents to trade union staff, workers, and laborers. All grassroots trade unions must propagandize the Constitution to workers and laborers. This is one of the “hard” criteria to mark the units’ year-end emulation.
The provincial Labor Federation’s Propaganda and Education Board has organized dozens of mainstreamed propaganda sessions for the Constitution and laws, codes, and regulations relating to workers’ rights and interests. The board has also disseminated the Constitution’s contents to six core groups of workers and laborers in boarding house areas in some provincial localities like Hai Duong city and Cam Giang district. These core groups will be the nuclei for propagandizing the Constitution to workers and laborers in the areas.
Along with the propaganda and dissemination of the Constitution’s contents to people from all strata, the provincial authorities have also reviewed and listed legal normative documents proposed for repeal, amendment, supplementation, or new promulgation in accordance with the Constitution’s regulations.
Through the review, the provincial People’s Committee has identified 129 valid documents subject to review under the 2013 Constitution. Collation and comparison of the promulgation jurisdiction and content of each legal article and document reviewed with the Constitution show that the documents were issued in conformity with the jurisdiction in terms of contents and forms. The documents’ contents are consistent with and not overlapped or contradictory to the common sense and specific regulations of the 2013 Constitution; and no document needs amendment, supplementation, replacement, repeal, or new promulgation to fit the 2013 Constitution.
According to Mr. Bui Sy Hoan, Deputy Director of the Justice Department, the Constitution implementation has achieved some certain results but still bared several difficulties and obstacles. The Constitution propaganda and dissemination have not been conducted regularly. The Constitution is a legal document of high generality and theory, and thus restricted in propaganda forms. Funding for the Constitution enforcement remains slow and unsecured for operations, especially at district and commune levels. Documents for intensive propaganda of Constitution enforcement contents are insufficient. The ability and quality of legal speakers and propagandists are limited, so propaganda measures have been neither lively nor attractive to listeners.
