Schedrin, N.V. Bases and limits to the antiterrorism means of security.

Abstract: Terrorists who cause harm to innocent people, should be ready to severe reaction of the state. However, such anti-terrorist measures should be aimed at the terrorists only and the limitation of rights and freedoms of the law-abiding citizens should be minimal. The history, however, shows, that when the law-enforcement bodies are given broader powers in order to fight terrorism, it necessarily leads to their despotism. That is why, the approach to the organization of the anti-terrorism system should be dialectic in providing both the security of the state and for the protection of human rights and freedoms. The central problem of anti-terrorism measures, which is the point of this article, lays with the limits and bases of application of such measures.
