Within the framework of the Workshop on Enhancing Lawyers’ Skills in Handling Criminal Cases on Economic Order Offenses, jointly organized by the Vietnam Bar Federation (VBF) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), experienced Japanese criminal defense lawyers and long-term JICA legal experts shared valuable perspectives.
The workshop emphasized:
– The critical role of defense counsel from the early investigative stages.
– The necessity of fair disclosure of evidence and equality of arms between prosecution and defense.
– Practical safeguards to uphold the presumption of innocence.
– Japanese experiences in defense strategies and judicial reforms — offering thoughtful suggestions for Vietnam’s ongoing legal reform and efforts to enhance criminal procedure fairness.
