Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt of author of the paper primarily to classify and then to define non-armed external forms of imperilment of the state security capacity and also to underline imperilment for integral security of the state that is coming from a seemingly innocent activity of certain external groups and organizations. The author of the paper argues that non- armed forms of imperilment of the state security capacity are primarily military pressure, threat, offensive propaganda activities and aggressive performance of foreign intelligence services. It is very important to underline also that the external non- armed forms of imperilment are always or almost always a prelude to emergence of armed forms of imperilment of security. Objective – task of the non- armed external forms of imperilment of security is preparation of „the field” for, for example, a military intervention or aggression on some state which is target of the violence. This paper is also a warning to the states as well as to the United Nations that the external non- armed forms of imperilment of security must be treated in accord with the imperilment coming from them. The systems of security of states must build up instruments for early recognition of aggressiveness and covert violence in activity of various external services and organizations. Such external activity must be incriminated by both the State legislation and legal documents of the United Nations.
