General Secretary and President To Lams decision to consolidate the Central Steering Committee on perfecting institutions, laws and judicial reform is an important political event. But the most notable thing lies not only in the organizational arrangement or change of guiding focal points, but also in the new name Central Steering Committee for Institutional Improvement and Law Enforcement, headed by the General Secretary and President. Download On the morning of May 13, in Hanoi, General Secretary and President To Lam chaired a working session on the organization and activities of the Central Steering Committee on perfecting institutions and laws and the Central Judicial Reform Steering Committee. A very important axis is to improve legal institutions and law enforcement. This is not only an adjustment in terms of language but also contains a very remarkable step forward in reform thinking. Because for many years, we have often approached legal reform according to a relatively familiar logic: developing laws, promulgating laws, and then organizing implementation. Each stage has its own agency in charge, and each field has its own operating mechanism. In that approach, the task of the legislative process seems to be completed when the law is passed. However, development practice increasingly shows that a country does not develop because it has many laws, but because it knows how to turn laws into results. A legal system can be very complete on paper, but if procedures still cause congestion, businesses still have to bear high compliance costs, people still have difficulty accessing justice, or policies are issued but do not create changes in reality, then the gap between law on paper and law in life is still very large. Therefore, including the phrase law enforcement in the name of the Steering Committee is a philosophical change and carries a very deep meaning. color. It shows that the focus of reform is shifting from enacting laws to operating institutions; from thinking about law as a set of static documents to thinking about institutions as a living system, constantly moving and self-improving. Download The value of law does not lie in the number of documents promulgated, but in its capacity to create development. From making law to operating institutions and life cycle of institutions The value of law does not lie in the number of documents promulgated, but in its capacity to create development. A law is only truly meaningful when it helps the investment environment be more transparent, the administration more serviceable, the society more equitable and peoples rights better protected. That is also the spirit of good law in life that the General Secretary and President have repeatedly emphasized. In modern management thinking, law does not end its journey when it is passed by the National Assembly. On the contrary, it is just the starting point. When it comes to life, the law must be tested by reality, by peoples reactions, by the enforcement ability of the apparatus and by the collisions that arise in socio-economic life. From there, unreasonable, overlapping or no longer appropriate points are gradually revealed to continue to be revised and improved. In other words, modern institutions cannot operate as a straight line, but must operate as a circulation. In that cycle, laws are developed, implemented, tested by practice, responded to by society, and then continue to be perfected. It is that continuous cycle that creates the modern states ability to self-learn and self-adjust. This is the life cycle of modern institutions. This is especially important in a context where the world is changing very rapidly under the impact of technology, data and artificial intelligence. No law can be perfect from the beginning or forever suitable for an ever-moving society. A country develops quickly not because it makes fewer mistakes than other countries, but because it detects mistakes faster and corrects them faster. Therefore, the strength of the modern state does not lie in its absolute control ability, but in its ability to continuously learn and adapt. In the old model, the legal system often operates according to a relatively closed logic: the drafting agency develops the law, the competent agency promulgates the law, and society is responsible for complying with the law. But in reality, no law can fully anticipate all the fluctuations of life. When the economy, technology and society change rapidly, the law must also be able to adapt accordingly. That requires institutions to have a feedback loop. Difficulties in implementation, problems of businesses, inadequacies in administrative procedures or legal gaps that arise in practice must be reflected back into the policy and law development process. Without this feedback loop, the legal system will easily fall into a closed state: agencies are lagging behind.The law does not fully see the difficulties of the implementer; policies do not promptly reflect changes in reality; Inadequacies are repeated but not thoroughly resolved; Social costs silently accumulate through each procedure, each license, and each bottleneck. Therefore, placing law enforcement at the center of institutional reform is of great significance. It shows that reform is shifting from making laws to creating results. Download Placing law enforcement at the center of institutional reform is of great significance. When the judiciary becomes the sensing system of the institution, the most profound point in this consolidation is probably that judicial reform is placed in the same chain as institutional improvement and law enforcement. In the traditional view, the legislature, executive and judiciary are often seen as relatively separate fields: the National Assembly makes laws, the Government organizes implementation and the courts adjudicate. But modern management practice shows that that approach increasingly reveals its limits. Because the judiciary is not just a place where
