Flashermac Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Vientiane - Laos has received 3.9 million dollars from foreign donors to expand the rule of law in the communist country, where about 100 laws have been passed since 1975, media reports said Thursday. The Ministry of Justice launched a three-year project with financial assistance from the European Union, the United Nations, France and the United States to hasten its "journey in becoming a rule of law state," the state-run Vientiane Times reported. "Since national liberation* in 1975, the National Assembly has passed more than 100 laws, which is seen as insufficient to govern the state and society and to respond to the nation’s development needs," the government mouthpiece said. Communist Laos, a land-locked country of 6 million people, has been ruled by the Lao People’s Revolutionary Party since 1975. It is the only political party permitted to contest general elections for the National Assembly, the legislative body. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/Communist-Laos-takes-nearly-four-decades-to-pass-1-30226226.html *By Hanoi ...
