Press
Law of Vietnam has clearly defined that press is the forum of people. In the
draft Press Law (amended) is being prepared for consideration and adoption,
this provision continues to be inherited ...
That
is the legal assertion of Vietnam that citizens have freedom of speech, freedom
of the press via a system of press agencies in Vietnam. However, the question
is how this right of citizens to be ensured and effectively implemented in
practice ...
Lawyer
Truong Trong Nghia (Congress delegation from Ho Chi Minh City) while commenting
on the draft Press Law (amended) has emphasized the request to make clear that
this is the primary and important mode to exercise the right to freedom of
speech, freedom of the press for people.
With
such regulation, all citizens have the right to post articles with own views or
recommendations, comments about a certain issue. The articles violate the law,
traditions, customs or quality assurance will not taken up. In fact, in the
history of formation and development of the press in Vietnam, people's rights
are being respected and ensured by the news agencies and newspapers from the
central to local levels. The press agencies carried out well the role of
people's forum always get admiration and
trust from all people.
Draft
Press Law (amended) sets out the rules and responsibilities of the press
agencies in the enforcement of the right to freedom of speech, freedom of press
for people. One of which prescribes that press agencies are responsible for
publishing or broadcasting proposals, criticism, news, articles, photos… and answering
clearly the reasons for not publishing or broadcasting if required. Delegate
Nguyen Thi Kim Thuy (Da Nang) said that such regulation is not feasible. She
explained that as for complaints and denunciations of citizens in the form of
recommendations, criticism, news, articles, photographs sent to press agencies is
very huge. Even when a case has been photocopied and sent to many newspapers
simultaneously. If there is no selection to publish or broadcast, it just
duplicates the entire information and increases broadcasting time unreasonably.
From there, participants proposed to redesign regulation to ensure feasibility.
