Abstract:
Public order includes all social relations conditioned by society’s needs and
which correspond to general interests, regulated by social norms, in order to ensure the inviolability
of the person, honor, dignity and other values protected by law.
What is related to national public order is established by the state itself, which is sovereign
as regards the regulation of social relations on its territory between citizens, between citizens and
its authorities, between its authorities.
At the level of national legislation, in most European countries, the constitutional act specifies
that the exercise of rights and freedoms must not harm public order, the public interest or
good morals.
Ensuring public order is a social necessity, carried out through specific activities of special
bodies – public order forces, which represent authorities holding powers and attributions in matters
of public order and who, by law, are given tasks in the exercise of the state’s police right.
Thus, public order is the notion, the term, the generalized state that is guaranteed, first of
all, by the constitutional norms. In this sense, based on the fact that the Constitution is the fundamental
law of the country, all the legal construction that determines the field of public order and
security must be consistent with its provisions.
