  • Ho Chi Minh City's People's Procuracy No. 2 is issuing recommendations to protect vulnerable groups and public interests.
  • The procuracy has facilitated the issuance of identity cards and birth certificates for children with severe disabilities and those from disadvantaged families.
  • This initiative demonstrates the procuracy's commitment to ensuring legal rights and access to essential services for all citizens.

The People's Procuracy of Ho Chi Minh City's Area 2 is actively working to protect vulnerable populations and public interests by issuing crucial recommendations to relevant agencies. The procuracy has issued 13 recommendations, with five specifically aimed at safeguarding individuals susceptible to harm and eight focused on protecting collective benefits. Among these efforts, the procuracy has facilitated the issuance of birth certificates and identity cards for children with severe disabilities. Notably, 15 children with severe cerebral palsy received identity cards, and four siblings from a disadvantaged family in Cat Lai ward obtained temporary residence registration. The procuracy also played a role in ensuring a child received an identity card after information was shared with the Dak Lak provincial procuracy. This proactive approach highlights the legal body's commitment to ensuring that all citizens, especially those facing significant challenges, can access essential administrative procedures and legal protections. The initiative involved close collaboration between the procuracy and local police departments to streamline the process, including conducting mobile registration for children unable to travel. Officials emphasized the dedication and responsibility involved in these efforts, driven by a desire to share in and address the real-life challenges faced by citizens, particularly those encountered during court proceedings. One case involved a prosecutor noticing a child without a birth certificate whose parents were in detention, leading to the procuracy's intervention to ensure the child's legal documentation was processed.

Ở một phiên tòa, KSV thấy công an dẫn giải bế một em bé trên tay, đến hỏi bé đã có giấy khai sinh chưa thì được biết bé đã có giấy khai sinh nhưng thông qua cuộc trao đổi đó, công an nói ở nhà tạm giữ có một trường hợp cha mẹ đang ở trong trại tạm giam, cháu bé đang ở với ông bà nội, và không có giấy khai sinh.
