Building a professional, modern, fair, strict and integrity-driven judiciary that serves the Nation and the people

Abstract

The article analyzes the theoretical and practical basis for building a professional, modern, fair, strict, honest, serving-the-Fatherland, serving-the-People judiciary in the context of building a Socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam and international integration in the new era. Based on the Party's Resolutions, the 2013 Constitution and the requirement to protect human rights, the author points out the special role of the judiciary in protecting justice, strengthening people's trust and creating a safe legal environment for the development of a market economy. The article evaluates the initial results of judicial reform, and at the same time points out the limitations in organizational structure, staff quality, facilities, judicial independence and transparency. On that basis, the author proposes a group of solutions to improve the law, modernize electronic justice, build a team of honest and professional officials, strengthen supervision and international cooperation, considering this a prerequisite for building a socialist rule-of-law state “of the people, by the people, for the people”.
