Denmark has never had an explicit law regulating the activities of its Intelligence Service, and its democratic control and oversight instruments have not been re-formed for decades. Successive Danish governments have explained that impor-tant reports from expert commissions must be made before further action can be taken. Therefore, official report Number 1529 from the Wendler Pedersen Com-mission – including a new bill relating to the Danish Intelligence Service – is of crucial interest. This article analyses the new legal framework and the body established to oversee it in order to determine whether the reform actually strengthens existing control of the Intelligence Service. The report’s conclusion is mainly negative regarding this question. The new legal framework is too vague to establish effective boundaries and in some in-stances actually widens the power of the Intelligence Service. Furthermore, the institution overseeing the new framework only has power to monitor a limited spectrum of the Intelligence Service’s activities. Additionally, it can only take random checks and has no authority to make binding decisions. Pernille Boye Koch is Associate Professor of Constitutional Law at the Facul-ty of Law, University of Southern Denmark. Last year she began work on a re-search project on the democratic control of the Intelligence Service. This article represents one of the first steps in her project, which will ultimately focus on Scandinavian, European and international aspects. | | Del av verk: | Nordisk tidsskrift for kriminalvidenskab 1/2013 |
