Abstract

In Vietnam, in case a quit or retired civil servant discovers a violation during the working period, civil servants will be removed from their previous posts. This sanction raises many concerns about whether it is effective when removing their previous posts is simply the removal of the name but does not actually affect any interest in the person being punished. This article provides an overview of anticorruption work in Vietnam throughout history and comments on sanctions for the removal of previous posts in comparison with the laws of other countries to come to the conclusion that this is an inferiorly feasible and effective measure. This research helps readers access accurate and objective documents about the current situation and results of anticorruption prevention and control in Vietnam worldwide. More specifically, from the contradictions and irrationalities that the research has pointed out regarding sanctions for removing previous posts of corrupt civil servants, the authors hope to pave the way for in-depth research on the regime. This article aims to eliminate the construction of sanctions that are only formal in nature and have no practical value.
