from which offered solutions However, in addition to the issue of the subject of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions that has been analyzed and interpreted comprehensively, the remaining issues (meaning, characteristics, role of executing the administrative complaint settlement decision) were only generalized in a very basic manner; the limitations of the law on the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions have been identified by the research studies and recommendations for remediation, now also overcome by the Complaint Law 2011 In addition, the research studies have not been in-depth analysis, specific evaluation of each cause of the shortcomings, limitations in the implementation of legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions, as well as the proposed solutions, which only stopped at the titles or if any, mainly analyzed and evaluated based on the provisions of the law at the time of research, before the Law on Complaint 2011 was enacted 1.2 Evaluate the research situation of issues related to the thesis topic The issue of implementing administrative complaint settlement decisions has not really been paid enough attention by researchers and it is not commensurate with its importance The number of research studies on this issue is just a small number and the research content is not in-depth At present, there is not any research project to systematically and comprehensively study the implementation of the administrative complaint decisions in the perspective of theory, law and practice from which to give opinions, to make proposals and solutions to ensure the implementation of legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions in the context of building and perfecting the Socialist rule-of-law State, socioeconomic development process, international integration of the country and in assuring human rights and citizens' rights 1.2.1 The studied content that the thesis will inherit - A number of theoretical issues on the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions related to the concept of legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions; significance, role, characteristics and subjects administrative complaint settlement decisions of executing the Chapter THEORETICAL ISSUES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT SETTLEMENT DECISIONS 2.1 Concepts, characteristics, roles and principles of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions 2.1.1 Concepts of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions - Concept of the administrative complaint settlement decisions: A decision to settle administrative complaints is a written decision of a competent person to settle complaints in a state administrative agency, expressing an assessment of the legality and rationality of complained administrative decisions, administrative acts, and the handling measures against illegal and unreasonable administrative decisions, administrative acts - The concept of legally effective administrative complaint settlement decision: The legally effective complaint settlement decision is a decision to settle an administrative complaint that satisfies the content and formality requirements according to regulations of law, promulgated by competent persons to settle complaints in the State administrative agencies, which, within the statute of limitations, stipulate that complainants may not further appeal or not institute administrative lawsuits at courts - The concept of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions: Implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions is that agencies, organizations and individuals exercise the rights and obligations recorded in the legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions 2.1.2 Characteristics of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions 11 Firstly, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision is only made for the legally effective administrative complaint settlement decision Secondly, the person who is responsible for implementing the administrative complaint settlement decision can be both a complaint settler and a complained subject or a public servant under the management of the complaint settler Thirdly, the implementation of an administrative complaint resolution decision determines the value of the entire course of complaint settlement 2.1.3 Roles of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Firstly, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions ensures the lawful rights and interests of agencies, organizations and individuals Secondly, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions contributes significantly to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management activities Thirdly, implementing the administrative complaint settlement decisions contributes to strengthening the legal discipline 2.1.4 Principles of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Firstly, the legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions must be strictly abided by the subjects who are responsible for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Secondly, legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions must be voluntarily executed by the subjects who are responsible for the execution of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Thirdly, the person who is responsible for executing the administrative complaint settlement decisions does not comply with the 12 decision to implement legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions must be enforced 2.2 Subjects, contents and procedures for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions 2.2.1 Subjects for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions The entities responsible for executing the administrative complaint settlement decisions include: the complainants; the complained subjects; complaint settlers; agencies and organizations managing cadres or civil servants whose administrative acts have been complained; agencies assigned to organize the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions; other agencies, organizations and individuals 2.2.2 Contents for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions The content of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions will depend on the conclusions of the complaint settlers on the complained administrative decisions and administrative acts In cases where the complained administrative decisions or administrative acts are completely legal, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions is the implementation of the complained administrative decisions and acts In case the complained administrative decisions or administrative acts are completely illegal, executing the administrative complaint settlement decision is to restore the rights and interests of the complainant who has been violated by the illegal administrative decisions and acts In case the complained administrative decision or administrative act is concluded only partially wrong, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision is the implementation of the legal section of the complained administrative 13 decision or administrative act and the part has been corrected in the administrative complaint settlement decision 2.2.3 Procedures for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions The execution of the administrative complaint settlement decisions is divided into two stages: the stage of the active implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions and the stage of enforcement of the administrative complaint settlement decisions In particular, the active phase of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision is the period in which the activities of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision are carried out from the parties responsible for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions, expressing the will and desires of these subjects, and these activities must be carried out within a set amount of time The stage of enforcement of the administrative complaint settlement decisions is the stage when competent subjects take measures to force subjects responsible for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions to carry out activities to realize the requirements recorded in the legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions when the time limit for self-enforcement has expired but the subjects are responsible for the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions still not proceed 2.3 Factors ensuring the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Firstly, the leadership and direction of the Party Committees at all levels in the work of resolving complaints and executing administrative complaint settlement decisions; Secondly, the laws on implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions; 14 Thirdly, the quality of administrative complaint settlement decisions; Fourthly, the contingent of cadres, civil servants and material conditions for executing administrative complaint settlement decisions; Fifth, the coordination of related agencies, organizations and individuals; Sixthly, the control of implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions; Seventhly, the awareness of the responsibility of the responsible parties in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision Chapter CURRENT SITUATIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT SETTLEMENT DECISION IN PHU YEN PROVINCE 3.1 Current situations of law on the implementation of complaint settlement decisions 3.1.1 Regulations of law on the implementation of complaint settlement decisions The Law on Complaints in 2011 and Decree No 75/2012 / NDCP stipulate that the subjects are responsible for executing administrative complaint settlement decisions, including: complaint settlers; the complainant; the complained person; persons with related rights and obligations and concerned agencies, organizations and individuals The administrative complaint settlement decision which is enforced is the decision to settle legally effective administrative complaints, may be the first-time complaint or second-time complaint settlement decision In case 15 the administrative complaint settlement decision concludes that the complained administrative decision or administrative act is lawful, the content of the implementation is to strictly observe complained administrative decisions and administrative acts complain In case the administrative complaint settlement decision concludes that the complained administrative decision or administrative act is unlawful, the content of implementation is to amend, supplement or cancel part or the whole of the administrative decision or immediately stop the complained administrative act; to restore the legitimate rights and interests of the complainant and related persons that have been infringed upon; pay compensation for damages caused by such unlawful administrative decisions or administrative acts (if any) 3.1.2 Comment, evaluate the provisions of the law on the implementation of complaint settlement decisions Firstly, there is no regulation on the responsibility that the complainant must bear when not complying with the complained administrative decision, the complained administrative act which has been concluded as lawful, as well as the decision of the competent authorities in order to execute legally effective complaint settlement decisions; on the time limit, order and procedures for executing legally effective complaint settlement decisions; on suspension, supervision and sanctioning of violations in the implementation of legally effective complaint settlement decisions Secondly, between the Law on Complaints in 2011 and Decree 75/2012 ND-CP, there are inconsistent provisions on the responsibilities of the complaint settlers in the implementation of the legally effective complaint settlement decisions; using inconsistently descriptive terminology about the subject responsible for executing the complaint settlement decision, who has related rights and obligations 16 Thirdly, regulations on the time of the legally effective complaint settlement decision is detrimental to the complainant General provisions on the responsibilities of the complainant in both the first time and the second time; only stipulate that the complainant must collaborate with competent agencies, organizations and individuals in restoring his / her lawful rights and interests infringed upon by the administrative decisions or administrative acts and the responsibilities of complained persons in the direction of implementation responsibility is not yet appropriate 3.2 The practice of the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions 3.2.1 Overview of the situation of complaints and issuance of administrative complaint settlement decisions From 2010-2017, the state administrative agencies of Phu Yen received 15,996 complaints with 10,958 cases Through classification of settlement, there are 3,388 complaints under the jurisdiction of the People's Committee at all levels, focusing on settling 2,932 / 3,388 cases, reaching the rate of 86.56% In particular, the number of cases settled by complaint settlement decision is 1,295 / 2,932 cases However, among 1,295 complaint settlement decisions that have been issued, only 1,101 legally effective complaint settlement decisions must be implemented immediately, accounting for 85.01% of the total number of issued complaint settlement decisions The results of the analysis of 1,101 legally effective complaint settlement decisions show that 895 first-time complaint settlement decisions accounted for 81.28% and 206 second-time complaint settlement decisions accounted for 18, 71% In particular, the number of complaint settlement decisions conclude that the true complaint content is 303 / 1,101 decisions, accounting for 27.52%; the number of complaint settlement decisions that are partly complied with is 304 / 1,101 decisions, accounting for 27.61% 17 and the number of complaint settlement decisions that conclude wrong complaints is 494 / 1,101 decisions, accounting for 44.86% 3.2.2 Assess the practice of implementing administrative complaint settlement decisions 3.2.2.1 Results achieved and the cause of those results achieved The rate of legally effective complaint settlement decisions implemented annually by the People's Committees of Phu Yen province is always high; there is no status of complaints and denunciations related to the implementation of legally effective complaint settlement decisions; The implementation of the effective legal action is conducted according to a uniform procedure The reason for achieving this result is: For the settlement of complaints, including the organization of implementation of the legally effective complaint settlement decisions, which is directed and implemented seriously by the Party Committee and the governments of Phu Yen province; The results of the complaint settlement have created favorable conditions for the complained persons to fulfill their responsibility to enforce the complaint settlement decisions which are legally effective and meet the complainant's requirements 3.2.2.2 Limitations and major causes of limitations The implementation of the legally effective complaint-settlement decision of the People's Committees of Phu Yen province is still slow and incomplete; There has not been any case being handled due to violations of the provisions on the implementation of legally effective complaintsettlement decision The main causes of these shortcomings and limitations are due to: The leadership and direction of the Party committees and authorities in the complaint settlement and the implementation of legally effective complaint settlement decisions are not close to the actual situation in the locality; the provisions of law on enforcement of the legally effective complaint settlement decisions remain limited and inadequate; the quality 18 of some complaint-settlement decisions is not high; civil servants and facilities to enforce unsecured complaint settlement decisions; In some cases, there is no close coordination among competent agencies, organizations and individuals; activities of controlling the implementation of law on effective implementation of complaint settlement decisions are not high; awareness of responsibilities of a number of agencies, organizations and individuals in the implementation of complaint settlement decisions has low legal effect Chapter VIEWPOINTS AND SOLUTIONS TO ENSURE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT SETTLEMENT DECISIONS 4.1 Viewpoint ensuring execution of administrative complaint settlement decisions Firstly, ensuring the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions must be based on the party's lines, guidelines and policies Secondly, ensuring the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions must contribute to ensuring the implementation of human rights and citizens' rights Thirdly, ensuring the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions must contribute to promoting administrative reform 4.2 Solutions to ensure the enforcement of administrative complaint settlement decisions 4.2.1 Solutions to improve the law provisions on the implementation of complaint settlement decisions 19 Firstly, perfecting the provisions on the content of responsibilities of responsible subjects in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Secondly, perfecting the provisions on the content and procedures for executing administrative complaint settlement decisions Thirdly, finalizing the regulations on controlling the execution of administrative complaint settlement decisions Fourthly, improving the regulations on handling of violations in the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions Fifthly, suspending the execution of legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions 4.2.2 Solutions to organize the implementation of the complaint settlement decisions Firstly, strengthening the leadership and direction of the party committees and authorities at all levels for the settlement of complaints in general and the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions in particular Secondly, improving the quality of administrative complaint settlement decisions Thirdly, strengthening the coordination between agencies, organizations and individuals involved in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Fourthly, strengthening the control of the implementation of the provisions of the law on the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions Fifthly, building and improving the quality of the contingent of civil servants and investing in equipment and material facilities to ensure the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions 20 4.2.3 Solutions to raise awareness about the responsibilities of responsible entities in the implementation of complaint settlement decisions Firstly, raising the awareness of the responsibilities of the complaint settler, the complained person and relevant agencies, organizations and individuals in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions Secondly, raising the awareness of the complainant and the person with relevant rights and obligations regarding the responsibility in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions CONCLUSION Through researching on the thesis "The implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions in practice in Phu Yen province", the author draws some conclusions as follows: Firstly, the implementation of an administrative complaint settlement decision is the implementation of the rights and obligations recorded by the organizations and individuals recorded in the legally effective administrative complaint settlement decision Therefore, in addition to the specific characteristics: it is only made for legally effective complaint settlement decisions; the subject who is responsible for implementing the complaint settlement decision can be both a complaint settler and a complained person or a public servant under the management of the complaint settler; the implementation of an administrative complaint settlement decision decides on the value of the entire process for settling a complaint At the same time, the implementation of an administrative complaint settlement decision also plays a very important role: Ensuring the lawful rights and interests of agencies, organizations and individuals; 21 making an important contribution to raising the effectiveness and efficiency of state management activities and strengthening legal discipline Secondly, the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions is carried out according to specific principles: legally effective complaint settlement decisions must be strictly abided by the responsible persons in charge of the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions; legally effective complaint settlement decisions must be implemented voluntarily by the subjects responsible for the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions; a person who is responsible for executing a complaint settlement decision does not comply with the legally effective complaint settlement decision must be subject to administrative coercion At the same time, the implementation of the complaint settlement decision is guaranteed to be implemented by the following basic elements: the leadership and direction of the party committees in the work of complaint settlement and the implementation of the decision administrative complaints in particular; law on the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions; quality of decisions on administrative complaints; staff, officials and facilities to implement the administrative complaint settlement decision; awareness of the subjects responsible for executing administrative complaint settlement decisions; coordination between concerned agencies, organizations and individuals; activities of controlling the execution of administrative complaint settlement decisions Thirdly, the entity responsible for executing the complaint settlement decision includes: the complainant; the complained person; complaint settlers; persons with related rights and obligations; agencies, organizations and individuals involved and each of these subjects has different legal status, so the specific responsibilities of these entities in the implementation of administrative complaint settlement decisions are also 22 completely different As for the content of the implementation of the complaint settlement decision will also depend on the conclusion of the complaint settlers about the complained administrative decisions, administrative acts However, the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decision is actually one of the stages in the complaint settlement process, the final stage of the complaint settlement process Therefore, the procedure for implementing legally effective administrative complaint settlement decisions is divided into two stages: actively implementing and enforcing Fourthly, through the implementation of the legally effective complaint resolution decisions in Phu Yen province, there are still certain limitations in the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions The main causes of this situation are, in general, due to: the leadership and direction of the party committees and authorities in the resolution of complaints and the implementation of legally effective complaint settlement decisions are not close to the actual situation in the locality; the provisions of the law on the implementation of the decision on complaint settlement have not been completed, there are still certain shortcomings; the quality of complaint resolution decisions is not high; civil servants and material facilities conditions for executing legally effective complaint settlement decisions are not guaranteed; awareness of responsibility on the implementation of the legally effective complaint settlement decision of the subjects responsible for implementing the complaint settlement decision is still limited; the coordination among relevant agencies, organizations and individuals in the implementation of legally effective complaint settlement decisions in some cases is not tight; activities of controlling the implementation of law on effective implementation of complaint settlement decisions are not high 23 Fifthly, from the reality of executing the above-mentioned complaint settlement decisions, the thesis offers the following groups of solutions: solutions to complete the law provisions on the implementation of complaint settlement decisions; solutions to raise awareness about the responsibilities of responsible subjects in implementing complaint settlement decisions; solutions implemented in the implementation of complaint settlement decisions However, these groups of solutions must be based on the thorough understanding of the Party's lines, guidelines and policies and must contribute to ensuring the implementation of human and civil rights, as well as promoting administrative reform./ 24 LIST OF ARTICLES BY AUTHOR Nguyen Thi Thuy Hong (2017), Factors affecting the implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions, Journal of Law Profession, No 05/2017 Nguyen Thi Thuy Hong (2018), The implementation of the administrative complaint settlement decisions and some theoretical issues, Journal of Industry and Trade, No 02/2018 25 ... complaint settlement decisions - Concept of the administrative complaint settlement decisions: A decision to settle administrative complaints is a written decision of a competent person to settle complaints... complaint settlement decisions", Independent scientific topic by Vu Thi Ngoc Hue, 2012;
