Abstract
This article is aimed to examining the legal mechanisms and rules in Vietnam in order to ascertain whether there is any significant effort to prevent foreign investment projects which look for “pollution haven.” The main attention will be paid to the normative framework of environmental control over foreign investors. This examination will be conducted in the context of the legal case against Vedan Vietnam, a foreign investor who was caught in intentional massive pollution practice conducted during an extensive period of time. The case serves as a good background when examining Vietnamese investment and environmental protection laws.
