The 352-page book compiled in six years covers 10 chapters with introduction to the background of the title and topics including: “The Set of Rules that Specify Behaviour Society has Outlawed,” “Law Evidence,” and “National Security Law: An Overview of Security Intelligence Law.”

Speaking at the launch in Accra, Mr Osei Bonsu, said modern conditions rendered it increasingly imperative that security practitioners be well-informed because new standards and methods of procedure, domestic and international, were constantly forcing their way.

He said the literature available suggested that although there was a considerable collection of published works on security, only a limited number of such works had addressed security law, adding that the present work provided a unified treatment of laws implicated in security.

Mr Osei Bonsu said: ‘’It has long been my dream to contribute a text that our gallant security services would find useful for reference, training and instruction-thereby advancing the rule of law,’’ he said.

Mr  Francis Poku, Former Minster of National Security said the timing of the work was most appropriate, given the increasing call for a clear national security policy that was both reflective of Ghana’s current security challenges and respectful of the constitutional balance that must exist between safeguarding national security interests, respects for human right and rule of law.
