Theoretical and Practical issues in tailoring Vietnamese law compatible with international law in the process of international economic integration

Abstract

The author of this article attempts to analyze the relationship between international law and Vietnamese law in the process of making Vietnamse law compatible with international law; at the same time, to suggest certain solutions to perfectionate Vietnamese law. The views held by the author are as follows: international law must be an integral part of Vietnamese law; Vietnamese citizens can extract provisions from international treaties to protect their legitimate rights and interests; non-relevant decrees adopted by the Government must be restricted; precedents can be deemed as a source for Vietnamese law; training must be intensified in order to foster and improve the capacity of law enforcement officials; it is necessary to develop a website that publishes all international treaties, to which Vietnam is a party, making it easy for everyone to access to those treaties.
