Subject

For the performance of public administration in a modern state based on the rule of law, administrative procedure law plays an important role. On the one hand, it shall provide for an effective and efficient functioning of public administration. On the other hand it shall ensure that administrative action is strictly in line with the rule of law and respects the rights of the citizens, thus minimising public administration-related conflicts and offering solutions to solve them constructively. These are demanding requirements. Vietnam is planning to cope with them in a Law on Administrative Decisions that is currently prepared. The conference aims to support this process by reflecting and discussing problems, solutions and experiences in Vietnamese, French and German law. It will in particular focus on the legal figure of the "administrative decision"/"administrative act", which is crucial but understood in a different way in all three administrative law systems.

With simultaneous translation English/Vietnamese (and, partially, German/Vietnamese). All interested guests are welcome.

The conference is part of the German-Vietnamese Law Days 2013 within the German-Vietnamese Rule of Law Dialogue (Đối thoại nhà nước pháp quyền Đức-Việt). Organizers: Hanoi Law University, Zentrum für deutsches Recht, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Hanoi Office; Contact: Dr. Nguyễn Văn Quang, Prof. Dr. Thomas Schmitz (tschmit1@gwgd.de).
