Criminal Liability of Commercial Legal Entities Under the Provisions of the Vietnamese Criminal Law
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The 2015 Penal Code of Vietnam for the first time establishes the criminal liability of commercial legal entities (CLEs), including foreign legal entities, marking a significant milestone in Vietnam’s criminal policy. The recognition of CLEs as subjects of criminal offenses contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of crime prevention and control in the economic and environmental sectors, while also strengthening the legal accountability of enterprises. However, in practice, this policy still encounters various institutional limitations and inconsistencies that hinder law enforcement. Based on an analysis of the provisions of the 2015 Penal Code, this article identifies the existing shortcomings and proposes solutions to improve the legal framework governing the criminal liability of CLEs.
