They stressed the need to thoroughly analyse the responsibilities of relevant parties in protecting the life, body, dignity, and privacy of children.
Dang Hoa Nam, Director of the Department of Child Affairs at the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs, said: “We have to fine tune the law, particularly judicial system relating to children and adolescents, of which special procedures must be ensured.
