Abstract

Recognizing the important role played by the public in the enforcement of non-trade rules, some of the new generation free trade agreements to which Vietnam is a party have included mechanisms for public participation. These mechanisms continue to be supplemented and enforced by the domestic laws of some parties, including the United States or the European Union. Therefore, the article focuses on clarifying the content of the relevant mechanisms as well as analyzing some of the problems posed for Vietnam when implementing these mechanisms.

Key words: public; non-trade rules; implementation; new generation free trade agreement, Vietnam.
