| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Most of the advanced democracies agree that confidentiality is needed in
terms of technical performance parameters; the numbers to be procured
and methods of deployment, which may provide unique advantages to the
user. Instead of the military or the civil servants treating these aspects
exclusively as military capability issue, legislative intervention is needed
for professionalizing and institutionalizing public accountability of security
sector. Parliamentary processes have constitutional legitimacy and duty
to examine security sector accountability. It however, lacks resources,
capacities and political will to do so. |
