The President would “determine the national security policies and take the necessary measures” (draft Article 104(13)). For these purposes, he appoints the Chief of the General Staff and he also appoints virtually all members of the National Security Council (draft Article 118), whose organization and duties should be regulated by presidential decrees. The President will have the power to decide on the use of the armed forces and security policy in general. In addition, the new provision about appointment by the President of high-level state officials (see para. 68 above) may also capture the appointment of senior officials within the intelligence agencies and the police.
