abstract
JUDr. Vladimír Zoubek, CSc., of Police Academy of the CR, called his contribution “Reflection on Constitutional Act on Security of the CR”. In the introduction of his speech the author argues how urgent the need is for constitutional provision for emergencies. Our constitution did not provide for the institute of emergency or a similar state until the Constitutional act 110/1998 Col. on the security of the Czech Republic was passed. It recognized only a state of war. At the same time, legislation providing for procedure and application of legal rules in the case of emergencies is ordinarily a part of constitutions of all countries of the world. The author mentions older lega! rules dealing with this issue, such as the National Defence Act 92/1949 Col. and Defence Act 40/1961 Col„ and again shows that they are insufficient. Further on he discusses the Constitutional act on security 110/1998 Col. a. The act specifies not only the duty of state during emergency (various emergencies, endangering of state, war), but also what the state must not do.
