From the perspective of comparative property law, the article examines the precedents and official legal views on "virtual currencies" in countries representing both Common Law tradition (England, the United States) and Civil Law tradition (Pandectists/Germantic school including German, Japan, the Netherlands and Romanistic school including France) to identify the legal nature of “virtual currencies”. It concludes that although it is still controversial to classify “virtual currencies” into the available classes of property, most of these countries recognise “virtual currencies” as property and proceed to regulate them effectively. However, “virtual currency” should be considered a “non-traditional” property - a crypto asset created by a combination of blockchain technology and cryptographic techniques aimed at ensuring authenticity in confirming certain rights and interests of a legal subject. In the future, traditional concepts and principles of property law also need to be modernised to meet the requirements of diversifying new forms of non-traditional property in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The peaceful use of nuclear energy plays an important role in the development of manufacturing industry and becomes an indispensable need. However, along with the development of science and technology, there are always potential risks of accidents. Therefore, the legal mechanism in the event of an accident resulting in damage is always set as an indispensable premise before putting nuclear energy into application. By reviewing compensation for damage caused by nuclear energy from a comparative legal perspective, this article analyses the legal structure, basic principles and the mechanism of Vietnamese compensation law damage caused by nuclear energy.

Abstract: Recall of National Assembly deputies is an effective way to strengthen the relationship between National Assembly deputies and voters, ensuring that deputies identify themselves with and are accountable to the people who are represented by them; thereby helps promoting the trust of the people to the elected deputies as well as developing representative democracy. A study on the procedure of recall of members of the parliaments in the world will suggest some experiences for a similar procedure in Vietnam. For this purpose, this article presents an overview of the procedure of recall of elected representatives in parliaments around the world, and focuses on considering the Recall of MPs Act 2015 of the United Kingdom. Then, the article offers some experiences for the procedure of recall National Assembly representatives in Vietnam.
