Most state management activities are based on long-term, medium-term, or short-term programs and plans. However, along the state management process, there are also arising activities which need to be addressed for common interests such as performing tasks of national defence and security or responding to the state of war or emergency and so on. Therefore, the Vietnamese Constitution has established land requisition rules during states of emergency. Land is an asset in principle; nevertheless, it is a special property since according to the Vietnamese Constitution, “land is owned by the people and managed by the State.” Thus, the issue to be raised is how land requisition in Vietnam, especially in response to states of emergency, is regulated. Conditions in which the State requisitions land and requirements to ensure that compensation is commensurate with the damage caused by land requisition and limit negative impacts on legal rights and interests of land users in Vietnam are noteworthy questions which will be addressed one by one in the present article.
