Prawo bezpieczeństwa narodowego w systemie prawa

The role of law in the state is indisputable; due to the norms established by appropriate bodies the rules of behavior (action) are defined in all areas of the functioning of the state, bodies of government, market zone, third sector (non-profit organizations) and particular citizens. Inseparable mutual relationship between the state and law makes law play a significant role in the organization of the state activities and entities functioning on its territory, also in the national security aspect. The character and range of the norms of law condition the effectiveness of the organization of the state, thus organizational and functional effectiveness of particular organizational units set up by the state and acting on its behalf to attain security goals. Despite the fact that national and international law is concerned with security, there is no theoretical background directly connected with security matters that could cause a deep reflection on legal aspects of these problems. The author of the article tries to reflect on legal aspects of security from the security practitioner’s and theoretician’s point of view for whom normative measures and legal norms make a foundation of a “good” organization of the state and society in relation to the performing the basic mission, i.e. providing free of disturbances - safe conditions of life and national development.
