Senator Judge Ihsan Barakat stated that legislation plays a pivotal role in consolidating the concept of national security, as it is the legal framework through which the state regulates the rights and duties of individuals, defines the powers of its institutions, and sets the general rules governing the response to crimes and threats of all kinds, whether political, economic, social, or cyber.

This came during a lecture she delivered today at the Royal National Defense College titled "The Role of Legislation in Strengthening National Security (The Legal Dimension of National Security)" for scholars in the 23rd National Defense Course.

She explained that the concept of national security is often associated with military power derived from armies or military institutions, while the components of national security are built on a foundation no less important than military power, which is considered a key component among other components such as economics, politics, the environment, and development.

Political, social, and economic stability constitute the environment that supports national security elements, grants it resilience, and enhances its capabilities internally and externally. The solidity and vitality of national values ​​represent the core of its conceptual and procedural structure, as the state is committed to protecting its individuals and capabilities in accordance with the supreme national interests and the various threats to which it is exposed.

She emphasized that legislation is one of the most important factors and reasons that help support the elements and components of national security, of all types and levels, including international treaties, constitutions, and the national legislative system.

At the end of the lecture, which was attended by the Commandant, President, and members of the directing staff, an extensive discussion took place, during which the guest lecturer answered questions and inquiries from the audience.
