On behalf of the Politburo,Standing SecretariatVo Van Thuong has just signed and issued Regulation 69 dated July 6, 2022 on disciplining party organizations and party members who violate the law.

The regulation has 4 chapters with 58 articles stipulating the content of violations and disciplinary measures for party organizations and party members who violate to the extent that disciplinary action must be taken.

Caseparty organization,party members violatedFor matters not mentioned in this Regulation, disciplinary action shall be taken in accordance with the Party's Charter and regulations, the State's laws, the Charter and regulations of the Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations in accordance with this Regulation.
Regarding the principles of disciplinary action, the regulation clearly states that a violation is only disciplined once with one form of discipline.
When considering discipline at the same time, if there are two or more violations, each violation will be considered, concluded, and a common decision will be made with the highest form of discipline. Each violation will not be separated to apply different forms of discipline, or to discipline multiple times.
After 12 months from the date of announcement of the disciplinary decision or the decision to resolve the disciplinary complaint (except for the disciplinary decision to expel a party member or the disciplinary decision to dissolve a party organization), if the party organization or party member does not complain, does not re-offend or has no new violations to the extent that require disciplinary action, the disciplinary decision will automatically cease to be effective.
Party organization discipline must clearly consider the organization's responsibility, and at the same time consider the responsibility of each individual involved in disciplining violating party members, especially the responsibility of the leader.
Also according to the regulations, the principle is that if a party member, after transferring jobs, quitting or retiring, is found to have committed violations at his/her former agency or unit to the extent that discipline is required, he/she will be considered for discipline in accordance with Party regulations and State laws.
Do not transfer, rotate, appoint, confer, or promote military ranks; confer, award, or recognize Party or State titles on Party members who are being considered for disciplinary action by the Party organization.
