Non-Governmental organizations, their legal regulation and the importance for national security

Varnost je pomembna tako na nivoju posameznika, kot tudi na nivoju naroda oziroma širše, globalno. Nacionalno varnost v Republiki Sloveniji opredeljuje Resolucija o strategiji nacionalne varnosti Republike Slovenije. Slovenija se srečuje s tremi vrstami varnostnih tveganj, in sicer z globalnimi, nadnacionalni in nacionalni viri ogrožanja nacionalne varnosti. V prvi vrsti za varnostni sistem skrbijo državni organi kot sta policija in vojska. Pri zmanjševanju tveganj, predvsem na področju socialne varnosti, pa imajo pomembno vlogo tudi nevladne organizacije. Nevladne organizacije so pravno organizirane kot društva, zavodi in ustanove. V diplomskem delu je podrobneje predstavljeno delovanje nevladnih organizacij na področju socialnega varstva, natančneje pa Društvo za nenasilno komunikacijo, ki je nevladna, humanitarna organizacija s statusom društva v javnem interesu.Security is an important issue both at the level of the individual, the nation, or more broadly, globally. National security in the Republic of Slovenia is defined by the Resolution on the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Slovenia. Slovenia faces three types of security risks, which are global, transnational and national sources of national security threats. First and foremost, the security system is overseen by government agencies such as the police and the military. Non-governmental organizations also play an important role in reducing risks, especially in the field of social security. Non-governmental organizations are legally organized as associations, institutes and fundations. The tesis describes in more detail the work of non-governmental organizations in the field of social protection, and more specifically the Association for Nonviolent Communication, a non-governmental, humanitarian organization with the status of a public interest association
