Bezpieczeństwo jako cel państwa w ujęciu normatywnym

The article concentrates on a normative approach of the goals of the state. The key issue is to present the programme norms that show the directions for the state to follow. These kinds of norms are included in the Constitution, international agreements and bills of law. These norms’ interpretation should have (and actually it has) a dynamic character, i.e. taking into consideration a current situation of the state. Another problem is the issue of goals competitiveness in a situation when the state is not able to attain them in an equal degree. Establishing the hierarchy of the goals of the state on a normative basis is extremely difficult.
