Abstract

National security, being an ambiguous and traditionally indeterminate concept, has been used on some occasions as a factor to impose certain political interests on the population, to justify human rights violations and lately with the aim of slowing down ongoing changes. This article briefly develops the doctrinal treatment that the international system of human rights and other international agreements have given to the concept of national security and its scope. It also exposes three recent examples in Chile in which national security or state intelligence (as a tool of the first) has been invoked, with the final objective of establishing, with a view to a new constitution, the need for a concept of national security that addresses the new existing threats, demilitarizes their treatment and control and has human dignity as its center.

Keywords:

National security, State intelligence, new constitution, social revolt, human rights
