STATE-RELIGION RELATIONS IN VIETNAMESE LAW: AN ASPECT OF STATE RESPONSIBILITY
https://doi.org/10.34822/2312-3419-2021-2-116-120
Abstract
The demand of modern democracy boosts states to increase their responsibility in regulating statereligion relations. The article presents an overview of the Vietnamese state responsibility to solve religious issues from a legal perspective. To accomplish this goal, the author studied the provisions of the current Vietnamese legal acts on religion and belief. The research results demonstrate that the state responsibility for confessional matters primarily lies with relations of state with religious organizations, the right to freedom of religion, and cultural values of religion and folk beliefs. Even though there is a tendency to increase the state responsibility for relations between the state and confessions in Vietnam, it is necessary to improve the legislative provisions on this issue.
