Abstract

In this research I will deal with the problems posed by state secrets in democratic systems, paying special attention to the way in which they are regulated in Spanish law. After a brief approach to this concept, I will carry out a critical examination of the control mechanisms, and especially of the jurisdictional control. The issue of state secrets is a highly topical subject in Spain, because the Basque Parliamentary Group (EAJ-PNV) in the Chamber of Deputies has launched a process to reform the Official Secrets Act of 1968, which to this day it is currently valid.
