Actions of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
Action 1: Judiciary Reform, Anti-Corruption, and Checks & Balances
Summary: The Socialist Republic of Vietnam will institute an amendment (utilizing behind the scenes influence to pass it) through the National Assembly to reform the judiciary of Vietnam. It will generally continue to be the same but now with the supreme court to coordinate between and enforce non-bias among the lower People’s Courts, Military Tribunals, and People’s Procuracies. The Judiciary will also be established as independent from the CPV and thus has the power to check it.
>The Communist Party of Vietnam under Tô Lâm formally reorganizes the Supreme People’s Court into a coordinating and government-check court independent from Party influence, which will serve as a governing body to check the National Assembly and enforce transparency, anti-corruption, and investigate acts of abuse of power, treason, and corruption within the Assembly.
>The Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justices, and other justices are now democratically elected by provincial People’s Courts which serve as a temporary representative council for the region they are a part of.
>The Supreme People’s Court will primarily serve as it did before, but with the reformation and restructuring it will be able to suspend or bring-under-investigation laws and domestic policies passed by the National Assembly. When those are investigated, the court may flag the law or policy as acts threatening constitutional order, corruption, or unlawful abuse of state authority. Meanwhile any investigations or suspensions will be subject to Provincial Committee review with procedures and oversight to insure Judicial fairness and oversight standards.
This will be done slowly over the months with some covertly to avoid elites rolling back reforms or any administrative shock.
Action 2: Expansion of Green Energy
Summary: The Socialist Republic of Vietnam will move into an initiative of major green energy preparation, development, and construction. They will be rolling back some developments to overcome existing bottlenecks while expanding infrastructure where possible.
>The National Assembly, with the operation led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, launches geographical survey teams across the nation with the goal of finding flat lands that can be modified without affecting or harming the local ecology majorly, or at least be able to safely integrate with the ecology. The aim is to expand solar and wind farms to decrease dependence on fossil fuels and foreign energy.
>Once suitable lands are found, the Ministry of Science and Technology begins planning and construction of solar farms and wind farms where possible. After they are constructed, they will be integrated into the national power grid slowly, while decommissioning fossil fuel and similar power grids in parallel, in order to avoid continued bottlenecks and any other issues.
>These sites will operate with Ministry oversight, but controlled and managed by workplace democracy with local Energy Communes if they are in rural areas, and with power near or connected to high population centers they’re run by Energy Wards while operating under their respective provincial committees. They are connected to the communes and wards (though more so the provincial committee) but separate scientific/engineer workplace bodies. These are meant to be overseen (prevent abuses of power) and mediated (if needed) by the government but allowing the locals and scientists who know what they’re doing to manage the energy and increase local autonomy and freedom.
This will be done in phases and carefully to avoid disrupting local population centers or ecology.
Action 3: Reformed Freedom of Speech
Summary: The Socialist Republic of Vietnam issues phased mass reforms to reform its media and press to allow more freedom of speech. This includes allowing non-corporate, independent newspapers, TV stations, radios, and the like. Cyber surveillance is also relaxed.
>The National Assembly approves and passes reforms to the press and media of Vietnam. This puts in place laws that allow people to establish local non-corporate (profit driven) organizations for newspapers, TV stations, radio networks, and the like independently from the government. If criticism exists, then the government should heed it and debate on how it could reasonably reform (if it is a major and widespread enough complaint). Some party controlled media will continue in order to not cause shock, but is hoped to slowly recall its monopoly.
>The government of Vietnam officially voids, replaces, or amends laws on journalism and press freedom. This voids or reforms any vague or censorship laws that exist and instead replacing or reforming them into limited oversight but ultimately freedom of speech and press, and if any complaints on the state of the nation are large enough they may be brought to the National Assembly with legal protection.
>Online surveillance and strictness is also loosened with any laws allowing the unwarranted arrests of persons without just cause or proof of unlawful action. Platforms (unless they are adult sites, legal, or financial) no longer require ID or age verification except in specific circumstances. Vietnam also begins passing increased strictness on foreign and domestic sites instead to prevent them from abusing information collected on users.
Side Note: Why am I considered uneducated? I mean yeah there’s not much freedom of speech in our Vietnam, but it’s not uneducated. At least, it has really high rates of literacy and most kids 6-14 (around 97% or more) go to school. Though to be fair only around 70% make it to high school, but I’ll solve that next time and my point still stands.
P.S. Do I need to specify any stats for these actions? I read the slides but the wording keeps throwing me off so thought I'd ask
