Abstract. The analytical note examines the conceptual foundations and mechanisms of civilian democratic control in the field of intelligence. Based on an analysis of the experience of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, the Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, the study explores the oversight powers of specialized parliamentary committees with respect to the activities of intelligence agencies, as well as the arrangements governing their members’ access to restricted information.
