Vietnamese Minister of Home Affairs Le Vinh Tan has asked the country’s legislative body National Assembly (NA) not to approve the bill on association in its ongoing second session, saying the draft law is needed to be changed.
Minister Tan made this proposal after the parliament debated the draft on Oct 25 with many opinions objecting the draft. The draft law should be amended based on the opinions of the country’s legislators before being submitted to the parliament again for approval, he said.
There are numerous regulations in the draft law limiting the right of people to association and assembly, lawmakers said while working on the concept, organizational principle and operation of associations, the government’s policies toward associations, regulations on the implementation of the right to establish association applicable to state employees, and forbidden behaviors.
Last week, over 50 international and domestic non-government organizations and associations, including Human Rights Watch and Civil Rights Defenders issued a joint letter sent to NA’s Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan to call for delaying the bill since the draft law contains a number of regulations which will limit the right of people to associate.
