Abstract

ABSTRACT

The essay underlines that, even in the light of the current global challenges  set out by terrorism and extremism, public safety is not a per se individual right but only the aim of a public function of the State. In this sense, the author holds that public order has a different meaning if taken into account in a democratic government or in a totalitarian one: in the first one, public order depicts a situation of “material” peace (the absence of disorder caused by human or natural events); in the latter, public order depicts the absence of “ideal” disorder caused even by pacific behaviours. He finally focuses on the extent of the limits to the public function of the State in this specific field both in general and in relation to the single constitutional rights.
