Abstract

Ovaj rad opisuje i analizira različite modele nadzora nad radom obavještajnih službi u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i Republici Hrvatskoj, a cilj mu je prikazati u kolikoj mjeri se postižu željeni rezultati. Specifična priroda rada obavještajnih službi zahtijeva i određen stupanj tajnosti, no demokratska društva imaju pravo uz djelotvornost, zahtijevati i odgovornost. Nadzor treba osigurati poštivanje temeljnih ljudskih prava i sloboda te ne dopustiti da obavještajne službe postanu politizirane. Ni jedno demokratsko društvo ne smije sebi dopustiti da se pod izlikom nacionalne sigurnosti krše ljudska prava ili da dolazi do zloporaba ovlasti. Ipak, rad zaključuje kako uz postojanje dobrih temelja za učinkovit nadzor, zbog nedostatka političke volje taj nadzor nije dovoljan jer uglavnom ne djeluje preventivno, već tek nakon učinjenih pogrešaka.

Abstract (english)

This paper describes and analyzes different models of intelligence oversight in the United States of America and the Republic of Croatia, and aims to show the extent to which the desired results are achieved. The specific nature of the work of intelligence services also requires a certain degree of secrecy, but democratic societies have the right to demand, in addition to efficiency, accountability. Oversight should ensure respect for fundamental human rights and not allow intelligence services to become politicized. No democratic society can allow itself to violate human rights or abuse of power under the pretext of national security. However, the paper concludes that with a good foundation for effective supervision, due to a lack of political will, it is often not enough because it usually does not act preventively, but only after mistakes have been made.
