Conference scene.
In this spirit, the delegates gave many comments, focusing on 5 main issues, namely the principles of organizing state power, the government, local governments, human rights, basic rights and obligations of citizens, and constitutional mechanisms. Some opinions said that the tasks and powers of the Government should not be limited to 8 groups as in the Draft; some regulations in Articles 99, 100, 104 of the Draft need to be revised to be more concise, reasonable and logical.
Regarding local government, many opinions say that some articles and provisions in the Draft have not made any breakthroughs in the issue of controlling state power at the local level; the provision on establishing a Constitutional Council in Article 120 of the Draft is not really necessary because it essentially overlaps with the tasks of the National Assembly Standing Committee and the Ministry of Justice...
The comments at the Conference will be fully synthesized and will be a valuable source of information to serve the Ministry of Justice in the process of continuing to research, propose and recommend amendments and supplements to the 1992 Constitution.
