SIGNIFICANCE OF CONTROL FOR INTERNAL SECURITY IN A STATE OF LAW

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article is to prove the significance of law for internal security in a state of law. Control is a multifaceted phenomenon which – through specialised entities, specificity of tools and well developed system – safeguards multi-type internal security – both in the public and universal sense. Efficient control system in a state guarantees security and public order, and prevents technical catastrophes and natural disasters. Internal security of a state constitutes a multipole phenomenon because the state’s environment is connected with numerous planes of public duties. Therefore, we can distinguish, for example: political, administrative, economic, ecological, agricultural, food, sanitary, financial, social and cultural security. Regardless of the type of internal security, the maintenance and increase in such security requires a number of actions to be taken by the state. The instruments used for building internal security in a state include control and control system, composed of personal, material and normative components. In this sense, control must be understood as definition of the status quo and the required state, specified by appropriate standards and rules of procedure, and as their comparison and juxtaposition, and finally as detecting the reasons of such differences and presenting recommendations for elimination of irregularities. The author analyses the significance of control for internal security in a state by following scientific views on such topics, and applies in this scope the method of critical analysis of scientific sources. This method is enriched with the analysis of statistical data concerning different areas of control in a state, which is connected with the application of the empirical statistical method. Additionally, the author also uses the dogmatic and legal method, and analyses the provisions of legal acts related to exercising control in a state of law. The author proves that control is an indispensable element of internal security in an efficiently governed state of law which follows the principles of social justice. The multitude of types of control and the manner of its exercise harmonise with the types of internal security significant for a state of law. Internal security in a state is guaranteed by a system of control, which is composed both of personal and material components.
