The department requires the forces of departments, branches, agencies, people and press agencies to closely coordinate in disseminating the law to raise the awareness and responsibility of cadres, civil servants and people about this work. Dissemination needs to be conducted in a diversified and appropriate manner so each citizen can see their rights and obligations, and actively participate in this work; the results of investigation and handling need to be publicised on the mass media for deterrence and prevention.
