The Concept of Legal Security in the System of Administrative Decisions

Abstract

     One of the contemporary issues that has occupied legal professionals in recent years is the principle of legal security, which has become a fundamental basis of the rule of law. It contributes significantly to the preservation of the authority of the state and the law by instilling confidence in individuals in laws and regulations. The most important legal means relied upon by individuals in organising their social, economic and political life are the numerous administrative decisions issued by public administrations as the executive apparatus of the State. It is therefore necessary to maintain a form of security and stability in the legal positions acquired by individuals through these administrative decisions. Legal security, as it is known today, is not a new idea in the administrative decision-making system. Administrative judges have always worked to subject administrative action to the principle of legality and, implicitly, to the principle of legal security, which is considered an element of legitimacy. This is done by taking into account the stability of legal positions and the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
