Reference UNDP United Nations Development Programme BACKGROUND In 2001, the Government of Vietnam approved a proposal by the Ministry of Justice to conduct a comprehensive legal needs assessment to help develop a ten year strategy for strengthening the legal system The Government did this in order to meet its socioeconomic objectives, which it recognized as directly related to the development of its legal system Realizing that this effort could only be effective with the cooperation of all significant law-related agencies, the Government established, for the first time in its history, an Inter-Agency Steering Committee (IASC) headed by the Minister of Justice The IASC, assisted by international experts from a number of different countries, assessed the status of Vietnam’s legal system from 1986 to 2001, and made recommendations to address identified weaknesses in the legal system through a comprehensive legal needs assessment (LNA) The LNA, completed in 2002, was the foundation for creating long-term co-operation and partnership between various Vietnamese law-related agencies and ministries and the international donor community The LNA also provided the basis for a program of international assistance to contribute to the Legal System Development Strategy to 2010 (LSDS) The original Project Document for Project VIE/02/015 “Support for Implementation of Vietnam's Legal System Development Strategy to 2010” between the Government of Vietnam and UNDP - Sweden - Denmark - Norway - Ireland, was signed in September, 2003 The Project followed on the successful Legal Needs Assessment (LNA) conducted by the Vietnamese government with the support of the international community during 2001-2002 The three major outcome targets of the Project were: A A finalized draft of a Legal System Development Strategy that would be issued by an authoritative source within the Vietnamese hierarchy The issuance of such a Strategy by a highly placed authority would assure that law related activities would receive high level support and attention necessary for the law to be effective; B Enhancing the capacity of the Government and other relevant agencies, including a multi agency Steering Committee, similar to the Steering Committee that had led the LNA its a successful result to coordinate and manage implementation of the LSDS ; and C Implementation of a number of high priority components through a "Legal System Development Facility” that would offer a coordinated means of continued support to the LSDS The Outputs, Outcomes and Activities for the Project as described in the Project Document are set forth in Annex A Issues that faced the Project during its implementation have included: A A change in personnel at Government, Project and UNDP levels, including the departure of the former Project Advisor in April, 2006; B Issues of national project execution through a single ministry, which is dealing with a number of other ministries and agencies (SPC, SPP, ONA and MPS, as well as local level Departments of Justice) The substantive coordination of the Project by the PMU, located in the MOJ, was successful in engaging the first major law development effort with a broad participation by key law-related ministries and agencies Requiring the PMU to coordinate all financial aspects as well, however, resulted in both administrative complexities and a certain reduction in ownership by participating ministries and agencies (See Paragraphs 48-50 of this report) An independent mid term review of the Project was conducted in June, 2006, and recommended extension of the Project and the establishing of a clear work plan for the remainder of the Project; Because of the slow pace of implementation of certain Project activities, all of the stakeholders in the project had attempted in good faith to resolve any differences and make progress based on a stakeholder workshop organized in November 2006 This workshop had produced a draft resources and results framework (RRF) for 2007-08 and a draft annual work plan for 2007, along with a joint donor statement for that workshop; A revised set of project outcomes and outputs was developed in 2007 and reoriented certain of the objectives of the project towards strengthening consistency of legal regulations and a greater focus on access to justice and enforcement of law The RRF also drew in more partners (SPP and SPC as part of making a link to the Judicial reform Strategy “JRS”) and sought to strengthen government and donor collaboration and information sharing The final Work Plan for the Project was established and agreed to by all relevant parties following the international consultancy referred to in Paragraph above A copy of the RRF and final Plan is attached as Annex B From mid-2007 to its completion, the Project completed every activity listed in the Work Plan, with the exception of two sub component activities [The National Agency for Legal Aid and the Vietnam Lawyers’ Association] that the designated agency decided to cancel, and one activity that had been rendered unnecessary because of duplicative activities supported by another project PART A: PROJECT PERFORMANCE RELATING TO ITS PROJECT OUTCOMES AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTRY PROGRAMME OUTCOMES Project outcomes 10 The Project had major accomplishments with each of its three original targeted outcomes:(i) legal and judicial development strategies have been adopted at the highest policy levels; (ii) a series of high priority activities were carried out, and (iii) the Project’s PMU has been able to demonstrate the coordination of planned action by law-related agencies, and how the international community can assist this action 10.1 Outcome One: Positive change: “Finalized Draft LSDS for approval by the competent State authorities” While the issuance of the LSDS was delayed until 2005, the Project very effectively assisted the development of that strategy, which emerged as Politburo Resolutions No 48-NQ/TW (Legal System Development Strategy) and 49 (Judicial Reform Strategy) Elements of the LSDS are also to be found in the general action plan issued by the Standing Committee of the National Assembly as Directive 900 in 2006 These three documents contain much of the substance of the ideas and activities suggested in the original LNA report, and are evidence of the support of Vietnam’s highest authorities to legal/judicial reform Therefore, Outcome One was achieved in full 10.2 Outcome Two: Positive change: implementation of LSDS” “Co-ordinated management of the In 2005, the Project established the Legal Sector Development Facility (LSDF), a funding mechanism under the Project for “emerging needs” in the field of legal reform Since its establishment, the Project has implemented activities by 22 sub-components, i.e smallscale projects financed under the LSDF This has required the Project’s PMU to engage Subcomponents included: Party Central Internal Affairs Committee (Legal Department); Ministry of Pubic Security (Legal Department); Government Inspectorate; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Vietnamese Lawyers’ Association; Supreme People’s Procuracy; Supreme People’s Court; Legal Aid Agency - MOJ; both substantively and as a matter of administration and financial supervision/management, a number of law-related agencies and ministries, e.g Internal Affairs of the Central Committee of the Party, Ministry of Public Security, Vietnam Lawyers' Association, Office of the National Assembly, Government Inspectorate, Supreme Peoples Procuracy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local departments of justice During the course of the Project, the PMU was in frequent contact with staff of all of these agencies, and was able at least to some degree to encourage a coordinated approach to the LSDS Outcome Two was achieved, but the placing of financial management on the PMU may have reduced the ownership of activity results by certain of the Project subcomponents (See Paragraphs 47-49 of this report) 10.3 Outcome Three: Positive change: “A number of high-priority components of the Project and emerging needs implemented through the Legal System Development Facility (LSDF).” The Project completed over one hundred separate activities by its 22 subcomponents See Paragraph 12 These activities dealt directly with important aspects of Vietnam’s legal and judicial development strategies, and did so with a broader cross section of law-related agencies and ministries than had ever been attempted Outcome Three was achieved Country Programme Outcomes: Positive Change 11 A key Programme Outcome set forth in the UNDP Country Programme for Viet Nam (2006-2010) is: "A system of governance based on the key principles of accountability, transparency, participation, equity, and consistent with the rule of law and democracy” Specifically, the Results and Resources Framework of the Country Programme Action Plan 2006-2010 (CPAP) identifies "Formulation and effective implementation of comprehensive strategies to support the reforms of legal/judicial systems, including the ongoing programme to support the implementation of the “Legal System Development Legal Normative Documents post-checking Agency – MOJ; 10 Dep’t of Administrative and Criminal Laws – MOJ; 11 Legal Dissemination and Education Dep’t – MOJ; 12 Civil and

Giang Province; 22 Department of Justice of Lam Dong Province; Strategy” (LSDS) and the Judicial Reform Strategy (JRS)" as key outputs of UNDP's and relevant donors' assistance In order to achieve those outputs, the Project focused on the following key groups of actions:  Strengthening planning, steering and overall management of the LSDS and the JRS, including: (a) enhancing policy dialogue on legal and judicial reforms; (b) improving horizontal coordination; (c) facilitating resource planning; (d) developing strategic management systems; and, (e) institutionalizing tools for learning from and replication of best practices  Implementing key components of the LSDS and JRS, including use of the Legal System Development Facility (LSDF), to (a) strengthen legal drafting, research, review and appraisal capacities, with priority being given to legislation on the organization and operation of institutions within the national political system, legislation on rights of citizens to freedom and democracy, legislation on civil, economic and commercial activity, and legislation on international integration; (b) advancing criminal justice and judicial procedures reform; and (c) enhancing law implementation and enforcement capacities  Strengthening capacities for promoting the rule of law and access to justice at local levels by: (a) strengthening alternative dispute resolution mechanisms at local levels; (b) enhancing legal education and dissemination; (c) promoting alternative mechanisms for legal aid; and, (d) improving law enforcement capacities  Strengthening central and local capacities to implement international human rights treaties ratified by Viet Nam by: (a) raising general awareness on ratified human rights treaties and the associated reporting obligations; (b) assessing the status of implementation of ratified human rights treaties into national legislation; and (c) addressing capacity development needs related to reporting obligations to treaty bodies Project Outputs 12 These activities are described in the lists and tables set forth in Annex C Among the most notable activities are the Project’s support to the issuance of Resolution 48, and (to a lesser degree) Resolution 49; its role in improving the redrafts of several laws, including the amended Law on the Promulgation of Legal Normative Documents, and the decrees 10 # Name of reports/publications Legal Knowledge: Volume State Apparatus and building of government at commune level Volume State Management on Economic Area, Natural Resources, Environment

the role of the National Assembly in ensuring consistency of legal system In legislative affairs, the Law Committee has still not fully fulfilled its regulated duties in checking the consistency of draft law submitted to the National Assembly with the legal system Several laws were adopted with articles contravened with other laws which were not revised simultaneously For example, the Law on Organization of the National Assembly was recently amended and supplemented but some other related laws (e.g Law on State Audit, Law on Oversight Activities) were not revised at the same time so there are some articles of those laws not consistent with each others Furthermore, the supervisory activities on examining legal documents which show the signs of contravening the Constitution and laws have not been conducted regularly by the National Assembly and its organs Available in [Vietnamese and English] and in [hard/soft copy], at [PMU office/project sub-component office Báo cáo đánh giá vai trò

Assemble and its organs in legislative affairs This provides an important and timely opportunity to review the role of the National Assembly and its committees in securing the consistency of the legal

A Comparative Perspective Báo cáo nghiên cứu so sánh học kinh nghiệm liên quan đến tham gia xã hội dân trình làm luật, Báo cáo chuyên gia quốc tế Tài liệu Hội thảo Based on national conditions, history, political traditions, and other factors, there is significant diversity in the guarantees of rights to civil society organizations to participate in lawmaking and public policy Countries range from the relatively restricted (Singapore) to the relatively unrestricted (India and the United States), to situations where civil society organizations are rapidly becoming more active in lawmaking and public policy even where legal provisions have not yet fully caught up with those developments (China) There is significant diversity in the implementation of rights or permission for civil society groups to participate in lawmaking or public policy Some countries generally allow it through constitutional and legal mechanisms, without specifying too closely in law, and allowing central and local governments relative discretion (sometimes far too much discretion) in which organizations are punished for their participation in lawmaking and public policy (India) Others regulate more closely on this issue, while still allowing most participatory activities (ie the United States) Some countries differentiate between types of civil society organizations as they define permissible participation in lawmaking 194 # Name of reports/publications Main contents of the reports/publications Note and public policy 35 Study report on criminal policy and criminal procedure
