Vietnam Prosecutorial Sector Aims for 'Four Nos' in Power Control to Combat Corruption

The Vietnamese Prosecutorial Sector has announced enhanced measures for power control aimed at eradicating corruption, waste, and negative practices. Moving beyond the previous stage of merely preventing officials from violating regulations, the sector aims to establish institutional mechanisms to prevent the abuse of power. Furthermore, the goal is to foster an environment where officials 'do not want' and 'do not need' to engage in corruption, waste, or negative practices, thereby achieving the 'four nos' (not to allow, prevent, not to want, not to need). This policy is also reflected in the notification of the results of the Standing Committee of the Central Steering Committee for Combating Corruption, Waste, and Negative Practices. It can be interpreted as a move to further strengthen power control under the Party's leadership. The prosecutorial sector is also promoting the sharing of experiences and strengthening cooperation in this area. In Vietnam, under the one-party system, Party discipline is highly emphasized, and combating corruption is a critical issue for maintaining the legitimacy of the government. In recent years, as the economy continues to grow, corrupt practices by powerful officials have become a matter of public concern, and the Party has clearly stated its firm stance in cracking down on such acts. The current setting of the 'four nos' objective can be seen as emphasizing a more comprehensive and preventive approach.
