The Decree consists of 51 articles divided into 7 Chapters. It provides for the compensation, support and resettlement when land is recovered by the State for defence and security purposes, for national interests, public interests and economic development purposes. The Decree provides for compensation for different types of land use (agricultural land, residential land, etc.) and defines the cases in which land is recovered without compensation. It also provides for compensation for property (this includes also churches, historical relics, pagodas, cultivated plants and reared animals, etc.). The Decree prescribes relocation support and resettlement arrangements. International agreements which Viet Nam has signed will apply even if the provisions contained are different from those of this Decree.
