Abstract:
Mutual legal assistance in criminal matters between Vietnam and ASEAN countries is the receipt and settlement of requests for mutual legal assistance in criminal matters from Vietnam’s prosecuting agencies entrusted to ASEAN countries and vice versa. Cybercrime is a new and increasing crime in Southeast Asian countries[1]. However, the legal basis for mutual legal assistance in criminal matters of ASEAN and its member states on cybercrime is still incomplete, leading to many obstacles in practical application. This article aims to examine and assess the current state of the law and the application of mutual legal assistance in criminal matters for cybercrime in Vietnam and ASEAN countries. The goal is to identify challenges and obstacles, and to propose recommendations for enhancing the laws of ASEAN and Vietnam, in order to enhance the quality of mutual legal assistance in criminal matters for all crimes, particularly cybercrime, between Vietnam and ASEAN countries.
