Abstract

The article explores the concept, system and classification of types of security in the context of international law and order. It is noted that the most important condition for the functioning and development of any society is to ensure its safety. It is noted that activities related to ensuring security and countering threats to the most important social facilities provide for the creation of a complex multi-level system organization. It is emphasized that in the theory of international law, the concept of security is so broad that many scholars consider it appropriate to single out specific types of security and determine a particular sphere of public relations. Based on the logic of the life of society, the typology of sources of dangers and threats, as well as the list of security items, the following types of security are distinguished, namely: “military”, “military-social”, “information”, “criminological”, “socio-political”, “ecological”, “economic” and other types of security. At the same time, such concepts as “national security”, “public security”, “personal security”, “military security”, “social security” and others are usually referred to the widest categories. Attention is drawn to the fact that security is a system of comprehensive measures that ensure the reliable and stable existence of the state as a political organization of the whole society, and also provides its protection against real and potential threats, both external and internal, that can harm its proper functioning. The need to classify security into certain types is called upon to monitor the processes of emergence and development of contradictions both in the state and in society, in order to effectively manage these processes and quickly influence them in order to make appropriate managerial decisions
