National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man has signed the resolution, which sets forth specific measures to resolve legal and administrative challenges concerning these projects and land disputes.

The resolution also seeks to address 1,313 cases of expired land use rights in Da Nang, where land use certificates and property ownership documents were issued beyond the legal timeframe.

According to the resolution, all inspection and audit conclusions and legally binding court rulings must be strictly enforced. Authorities will only review and resolve difficulties in cases where violations resulted from the errors of state management agencies or from shared mistakes by both government agencies and investors.

Additionally, legal obstacles will only be removed for projects where violators - whether organizations or individuals - have been strictly dealt with according to Party and state laws, and where economic consequences have been rectified, including the recovery of financial benefits gained from violations.

For projects and land disputes still under criminal proceedings, the National Assembly specifies that the special mechanism will only be applied after a legally binding court ruling or a decision to dismiss the case.

The resolution also emphasizes that implementation must ensure clear delegation of responsibilities, prevent the legalization of past violations, and avoid new violations. Authorities are required to closely monitor and strictly handle any individuals or organizations exploiting the resolution for corruption or misconduct.
