PREAMBLE
1. Urgency of the research topic
After Doi Moi Policy, all important political - legal
documents of the Party such as Documents of 10th, 11th and 12th
Session National Congress, Resolution No. 08-NQ/TW, 49-NQ/TW
confirms values of justice. Institutionalizing the above-mentioned
guideline, Constitution 2013 of Vietnam identifies the Justice for the
first time and affirms tasks of protecting the justice of the State and
entire society.
However, the expression of Justice through institutions of the
Constitution has not been identified and analyzed so that
effectiveness and efficiency of promoting Justice values is limited.
Justice protection activities still have shortcomings and weaknesses.
There are many reasons, of which, Justice theory has not been fully
studied; Awareness of competent agencies and community on Justice
is still inconsistent; Comprehensive research and implementation of
aspects of Justice have not been done timely; The role of Courts as
authority in charge of Justice protection identified by the Constitution
2013 has not been specifically studied.
For the above reasons, it is very urgent to study the topic
