On the morning of September 5, Minister Do Duc Duy requested the leaders of the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment of 63 provinces and cities, as well as units directly under the ministry, to focus on disseminating four decrees detailing the implementation of the Land Law 2024. He emphasized the need to ensure that the breakthrough contents of the law, such as land basic investigation, planning, land use plans, revocation, compensation, support, resettlement, land allocation, land leasing, and land prices, are soon put into practice.

At the Conference on Disseminating the Decrees Detailing the Implementation of the Land Law 2024, held by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment on September 5, Minister Do Duc Duy highlighted that the Land Law 2024 was passed by the National Assembly on January 18, 2024, at its 5th Extraordinary Session and will take effect on January 1, 2025.

At the 7th session, the National Assembly passed the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Land Law, Housing Law, Real Estate Business Law, and Law on Credit Institutions. Accordingly, the National Assembly resolved that the Land Law would take effect from August 1, 2024, to bring the breakthrough contents into life soon, contributing to the goal of renovating and perfecting the institutions and policies, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of land management and use, and creating a driving force for the country to become a developed country with high income.

The Land Law 2024 details 96 contents, of which the Government has assigned the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to take the lead in consulting and detailing 86/96 contents, focusing on land basic investigation, planning, land use plans, revocation, compensation, support, resettlement, land allocation, land leasing, permission to change land use purpose, land prices, land registration, granting of land use rights certificates, ownership of assets attached to land, land use regimes, supervision, monitoring and evaluation of land management and use, inspection, audit, resolution of disputes, complaints, denunciations, and handling of violations of land-related laws…

To ensure the conditions for the Land Law 2024 to take effect from August 1, 2024 (five months earlier than planned), Mr. Duy said that in a short time, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has actively and proactively coordinated with ministries, sectors, and concerned agencies to build and submit to the Government for issuance of four decrees detailing the implementation of the Land Law 2024, which will take effect simultaneously with the law.

The decrees include: Decree No. 71/2024/ND-CP on land prices; Decree No. 88/2024/ND-CP on compensation, support, and resettlement when the State recovers land; Decree No. 101/2024/ND-CP on land basic investigation, registration, granting of land use right certificates, ownership of assets attached to land, and Land Information System; and Decree No. 102/2024/ND-CP detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Land Law. In addition, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has also issued four circulars under its competence as assigned in the law.

“This is a result of the spirit and working attitude of perseverance, perseverance, dedication, and seriousness; the contribution of wisdom, intelligence, and responsibility of officials, civil servants, and public employees of the entire natural resources and environment sector from central to local levels. Through this, it contributes to the effective management and liberation of land resources, meeting the requirements of socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security, and sustainable development in the period of promoting the industrialization and modernization of the country; contributing to the perfection of the socialist-oriented market economic institution in our country,” emphasized Mr. Duy.

Each official is a rapporteur for the implementation of the law

Minister Do Duc Duy also noted that along with the provisions of the law, the contents of the guiding decrees also cover most of the contents of state management of land, which is an important legal basis for organizing the effective and sustainable management of land resources in localities.

Therefore, to soon bring the Land Law into life, ensure uniformity, synchronization, effectiveness, and efficiency throughout the country, through the Conference on “Disseminating the Decrees Detailing the Implementation of the Land Law 2024”, Mr. Duy requested the rapporteurs assigned to present the decrees to ensure a comprehensive coverage of the contents, focusing on analyzing the key contents and new points directly related to the organization of implementation in the locality.

On that basis, the delegates (leaders of the Departments of Natural Resources and Environment in 63 provinces and cities across the country) attending the conference focused on listening, following, and thoroughly discussing the new points and unclear contents to achieve unanimity in perception and improve the quality of organization in practice.

“After the conference, each official and leader of the Departments will become rapporteurs in their locality, continuing to propagate and guide the uniform implementation of the land-related legal provisions in the locality. At the same time, based on the provisions of the law and the decrees and circulars, they will promptly advise the People’s Councils and People’s Committees of the provinces and centrally-run cities to issue full and timely legal documents within their competence, in unison with the decrees and circulars, to ensure a sufficient legal basis for the implementation of the law in the locality,” emphasized Mr. Duy.

Next, Ms. Doan Thi Thanh My, Director of the Land Department, introduced Decree No. 102/2024/ND-CP detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Land Law, and Mr. Pham Ngo Hieu, Deputy Director of the Department of Registration and Land Information Data, presented a report on Decree No. 101/2024/ND-CP on land basic investigation.

According to Ms. My, the Decree detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Land Law consists of 10 Chapters and 113 Articles, detailing 54 contents assigned in the law, ensuring that it takes effect simultaneously with the Land Law. The decree provides for the determination of individuals directly engaged in agricultural production, detailed classification of land, determination of land types, land support for ethnic minorities, land planning and use plans, etc.

Notably, regarding land revocation, Ms. My said that the Decree has guided the implementation of land revocation for the purposes of national defense and security, socio-economic development for national and public interests, land revocation due to violations of land-related laws, land revocation due to termination of land use as prescribed by law, voluntary return of land, threats to human life, enforcement of compulsory census decisions, land revocation decisions, and complaints about land revocation decisions and enforcement decisions.

Also at the Conference, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment sent a survey questionnaire to the delegates to provide information on the situation of building and promulgating legal documents guiding the implementation of the law under the competence of the People’s Councils and People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities. On that basis, the ministry will synthesize and report to the Government to continue directing the localities to implement the law.
