Abstract:

The promulgation of National Intelligence Law has a great significance on guaranteeing national security and national intelligence work, protecting national security and people’s benefits. The clause concerning “individual information cannot be revealed” initiates people rethinking of the dilemma between national security and individual information protection under the new situation. The relevant clauses of National Intelligence Law uphold the legality of national intelligence institutions to collect individual information. Meanwhile,there are relevant call to account clauses to guarantee the right of individual information protection. In order to get the balance between national security and individual information protection, we may learn from British experience, and implement specific countermeasures to establish and improve intelligence monitoring system in our country.

Key words: National Intelligence Law, National security, Individual information protection, Britain, Intelligence monitoring
