This principle applies to the return of persons who are in the territory of the state, both for those who entered legally and for those who entered illegally. In the context of torture, the principle of non-refoulement means that no state will expel, return or extradite a person to another state when there are serious grounds for believing that he or she would be exposed to the danger of torture.

A special place in this sense belongs to the defence and promotion of national values, interests and objectives. National security is not only the security of the state, but also the security of society and the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, both on the territory of the Republic of Moldova and abroad. The national security of the Republic of Moldova is achieved through appropriate measures of a political, economic, diplomatic, social, legal, educational, administrative and military nature, through intelligence, counter-intelligence, and through the effective overcoming of crises, in accordance with the legislation in force and with international law.
