Summary:Objectives This article analyzes the problem of human rights violations committed by democratic states under the justification of protecting national interests, particularly internal security and public order. Material and methods The research hypothesis assumes that even well-established democracies may restrict individual rights using broadly defined public interest clauses. The aim of the paper is to present selected examples of such practices and evaluate the effectiveness of domestic and international human rights protection mechanisms. The study employs the dogmatic-legal method, case analysis, and critical examination of international documents. Results The findings point to the need for stronger international oversight, greater transparency of state actions, and enhanced safeguards for individuals against arbitrary restrictions. Conclusions The findings point to the need for stronger international oversight, greater transparency of state actions, and enhanced safeguards for individuals against arbitrary restrictions.
