The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has sent a document to the People’s Committees of provinces and cities, requesting an evaluation of the enforcement of the 2024 Land Law and the formulation of a Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Land Law.
Earlier, on May 2, the Government Office issued Document No. 3801/VPCP-NN conveying the directions of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Land Law and its guiding decrees, in alignment with the two-tier local government model.
To provide a basis for proposing amendments and supplements to the Land Law to be submitted to the 15th National Assembly at its 10th session, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requested the People’s Committees of provinces and cities to evaluate state management of land, focusing on three key aspects.
Firstly, the People’s Committees are to assess the issuance and implementation of legal documents on land within their assigned authority under the Land Law and its guiding documents. This includes evaluating the division of authority in issuing documents, compliance with regulations set by higher authorities, the consistency and compatibility of the legal system, and identifying any obstacles or difficulties.
Secondly, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requested localities to evaluate the propagation, dissemination, and education of land laws; the forms of organization, target audience, and number of training courses, propaganda, and education sessions on land laws; and identify any obstacles or difficulties, if any.
Thirdly, the People’s Committees of provinces and cities are to focus on evaluating the implementation of regulations related to land use planning, land use plans, land revocation, compensation, support, resettlement, land allocation, land use purpose conversion, land acquisition through agreement on the receipt of land use rights, land registration, and assets attached to land.
Additionally, they are to assess the issuance of land use right certificates, the land information system, land database, land finance, land use regimes, land-related administrative procedures, inspection, supervision, monitoring, evaluation of land management and use, dispute resolution, complaints, denunciations, and handling of violations.
Particularly, localities need to pinpoint the challenges and obstacles in enforcing the Land Law and its guiding documents, and propose amendments and supplements to the Land Law to meet the requirements of the two-tier local government.
The localities are also requested to suggest solutions to enforce the Land Law and its guiding documents and to remove obstacles and difficulties to further promote land resources for development.
Based on the above evaluations and proposals, the People’s Committees of provinces and cities are requested to send their reports on the enforcement of the 2024 Land Law and the formulation of the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Land Law to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment before May 20, 2025, for synthesis and reporting to the Government and the Prime Minister.
