VietNamNet Bridge – The Chief Judge of the Supreme People's
Court Truong Hoa Binh yesterday, March 24, promised that the court sector would
continue efforts to reform court proceedings, increase transparency and
eliminate corruption from the legal system.
The judge was answering questions
from National Assembly Standing Committee members ahead of the NA general
session in May.
Legislators quizzed Binh on a number
of issues, including how the Supreme Court intends to improve the sense of
responsibility felt by judges and juries in local courts, enhance supervision
during hearings, and ensure lawyers and adjudicators assigned to difficult
cases have the necessary expertise.
NA member Do Van Duong raised
concerns about the low number of corruption cases being brought to court and
the high number of defendants in corruption cases being put on probation after
trial, which has led to anger about a lack of transparency.
In reply, Binh said that the
court only proceeds with cases transferred from the prosecutors of the People's
Procuracy, and the court sector has been closely monitoring corruption cases to
make sure they are pursued in accordance with the law.
He added that the sector is
working on a new resolution more clearly defining suspended-sentence
regulations.
The chief judge also admitted
that there had been cases when court members accepted bribes. He declared that
the sector was dealing with such violations very firmly.
Meanwhile, Minister of Education
and Training Pham Vu Luan yesterday acknowledged that the education sector was
facing chronic problems of outdated curriculums and textbooks, meaning that
teaching standards were not meeting the needs of the market.
The minister reaffirmed his
commitment to increasing the quality assurance processes at universities and
educational institutions.
The NA members also expressed
concerns about the high number of students currently unable to find jobs. Luan
said that this was the result of education not meeting the market demand, but
he did not provide any solutions.
