Legal Completion of the Law on Land Acquisition for Socio-Economic Development Purposes in Vietnam

Cao Thanh Son*

Lawsuits related to land acquisition activities for socio-economic development purposes are widespread. Most projects have cases where people with land acquired lodge lawsuits to protect their legitimate rights and interests. This fact shows that the land acquisition for socio-economic development purposes and legal provisions, as well as the mechanism of compensation, support, and resettlement applicable to persons, whose land is acquired, still needs more to be considered for amendment and supplementation. In particular, the determination of the scope and limit of land acquisition, the compensation value, and policies on support and resettlement are the core issues to ensure the balance of interests of both the State, investors, and people whose land is acquired not only in the short term but also in the long term. The article synthesizes existing inadequacies and offers several grounded and long-term solutions and recommendations in land acquisition activities for socio-economic development.
