Historical description

For a unified policy of state security, the decree assigns intelligence and counter-intelligence functions in the Republic to the National Security Service. It declares unauthorised parallel special services and armed formations invalid and unlawful, and directs ministries, institutions, military formations and private persons to assist security-service personnel acting within their duties.

Editorial and verification notes

The decree’s assertion that parallel bodies were illegal is the presidency’s position. The surviving printed text alone does not demonstrate enforcement.
