>NA discusses court, procuracy work and drug control
>
>National Assembly deputies had group discussion on the reports of the court
>and procuracy sectors, the settlement of complaints and denunciations and the
>draft Anti-Drug Law on November 22, the eighth working day of its on-going
>session at Ba Dinh Hall.
>
>Many deputies held that reports by the court and procuracy sectors have shown
>some progress, expressing efforts in law enforcement. However, law violation
>and crime still continued to increase.
>
>Meanwhile other deputies said that the reports were still too lengthy with
>only facts and figures but failed to mention law observance and enforcement
>and put forth appropriate and effective measures in a bid to strengthen
>disciplines and laws in socio-economic life.
>
>Others said that the reports only helped them understand the current
>complicated situation and crimes but did not evaluate the nature of each
>problem, reasons and solutions.
>
>Several deputies held that, in the future, more attention should be paid to
>building a professional staff, pure in quality and virtue.
>
>They also said that the investigation report by the NA's Law Committee on work
>of the court and procuracy sectors has not yet pointed out outstanding issues
>in operation of these sectors. Many of them expressed their concern about an
>increased number of crimes, particularly new and serious crimes and those
>relating to drugs.
>
>Regarding the settlement of complaints and denunciations of people, some
>deputies praised the government's establishment of working groups to settle
>complaints and denunciations in localities. However they said that complaints
>and denunciations must be well settled at the grassroots level.
>
>They also said that complaints which lasted for a long time should be settled
>at the administrative court and asked the NA to soon issue the Administrative
>Law.
>
>Discussing the draft Anti-Drug Law, many deputies said the drug addiction and
>drug-related crimes have increased and posed a serious danger to the whole
>society. Drug addicts have been increasing, from 72,000 in 1995 to 104,000 in
>1999. Crimes caused by drug addicts have climbed up too. Many deputies raised
>their opinions, stressing the need to formulate the Anti-Drug Law in an effort
>to mobilise strength of the whole society in the fight against this potential
>national disaster.
