However, the biggest challenge of today‟s world is the terrorist actions of radical groups that are
currently huge threat to the international security. Hence, the great challenge for intelligence systems can be
found because the manner of international community dealing with these global security challenges of today
depends on due and timely security-intelligence information.
After all, the role and power of the global security intelligence seems illustrated the best from the fact
that the American president has his morning coffee while discussing with the director of the CIA. Moreover,
the recent opening of part of the secret files of the CIA showed that at the attacks on the twin towers in New
York on 11 September 2001 when Bush was on a school tour around the country, he was approached by
Michael Morrell, deputy director of the CIA and reported him about the attacks, that clearly shows that the
President of the United States during various trips is accompanied by some of the chiefs of the CIA.
Or, as the Russian President Vladimir Putin says with a little force, even with the forces of only one
person, one can achieve something that cannot be achieved by whole armies-one intelligent officer can
decide upon the destinies of thousands people
248
. Yet, here is an indisputable need for intelligence
information by policy makers who set the basic frameworks of foreign policy and decide on specific actions
regarding the key issues.
However, international security as dominant activity of the humanity must not be held as hostage to
the narrow national interests of certain dominant forces. For example, the new world order should have
actually provided for United States a leading position as a "global command bridge" with exclusive rights
only for them to decide for the world processes and events. This system shall not be fully operable until
nowadays because the USA leadership ambitions to establish an unilateral world order is openly opposed by
other dominant powers like Russia and China.
On the other hand, even in the American public itself, there are more numerous reactions by American
citizens that their country unnecessarily exhausts itself by engaging in almost all the world's problems and
imposes solutions in the style of some "world policeman". Although today the same reasons apply as they
did seven centuries ago, when Pierre Dubois said that "not any reasonable being can believe that one man
can rule the world. If there is a tendency in that direction, then there will be revolutions and wars without
end, and because of the enormous population, distance and diversity of countries, as well as the natural
tendency of human beings to argue, not a single person would be able to suppress them.
We are witnesses that because of these trends the wars or serious violation of international security are
a reality. The United States is faced with the challenge to find a reasonable measure in its behavior at the
world political scene. It is desirable to balance between the long spoken of Thucydides that "the strong do
what they have to, and the weak accept what they have to”
249
and the wording said by Pierre Dubois that it is
foolish to believe that one country can rule the world. In such an environment there is a need for building
awareness and culture for effective protection of the priority tasks of humanity, international security, and
thereof the role of intelligence and the power will be channelled in the right direction.
Of course, the international security is not something new that man can accomplish immediately, but
more of one permanent ongoing process. The desired standard in this regard is "zero security challenges",
although this ideal is unattainable having in mind that the roots lie in the human being for power and
destruction, and therefore the serious risks to international security cannot be absolutely avoided. However,
despite all the weaknesses, the attempts to maintain the international security through key mechanism,
security and intelligence information will continue to be among the most important activities of mankind in
such an imperfect world.

CONCLUSION
Summarizing the impressions and findings of the analysis I can establish the outlines of the vision for
the issues of intelligence and international security. It seems that the world cannot achieve progress in the
field of international security unless it considers the deepening knowledge of scientific achievements and
historical legislations in the behavior of states. Moreover, the issue of intelligence and international security
is increasingly occupying the thinking minds in the world. After all, in the centre of the global values is
promotion of freedom and human welfare, wherever they are located on Earth, and all this cannot be
implemented without global security and intelligence for the purpose of maintaining international security.

Hence, regardless of any inconsistencies in the behavior of states, the attempts and the efforts of the
world to expose the idea that international security should be considered one of the prime movers of
humanity, should not be stopped. The basics of international security is the intelligence that shall remain a
dominant influence in the foreign policy behavior, regardless of all the controversies that accompany it,
because the secret services are not immune to occasional trips outside of legal frameworks that can seriously
violate the human rights.
However, the general perception is that the intelligence services are needed, especially in this time of
increased threat of terrorism and the fight against it starts with intelligence and security intelligence
information.
