Judicial authority in the mechanism of national security of the Russian Federation

It is possible to assess the essence of the judiciary, its main features, its place in the political and legal life of society, the importance in the system of human rights institutions by what functions are carried out by the judiciary and with what degree of efficiency. One of the aspects of the functional purpose of the judicial system - ensuring national security - remains out of the field of fundamental and in-depth research. Meanwhile, national security is a sphere of public relations in which layers of contradictions are concentrated, which grow not only into interpersonal, private conflicts that are resolved in the course of justice, but also conflicts of a public nature that pose a threat to national interests related to the maintenance of the regime of lawful legality in the sphere of governance, stability of state power, sovereignty, territorial integrity. Judicial activities in the field of strengthening national security require scientific rethinking and further development in the course of judicial and legal reform in the Russian Federation.
