The author of this article presented a theoretical understanding of the context and methodological paradox of safety.The selected issues of safety paradox of borderlands are highlighted examples of paradoxical approach of local authorities to the issue of safety of the local community. The material also shows the methodological reasons of safety paradox of borderland. Research on issues related to the safety of the unit appears as a trivial problem. A deeper look at the evaluation of the relationship between the sense of security of the individual and national security reveals the other side of the paradox. The problem is compounded by the fact that often decision-makers in the field of security are officials who do not have legal knowledge, in particular the rights and freedoms of the individual. The main part of the article are the selected topics regarding safety paradox of borderland. With regard to the broad perspective on the problem of human safety a departure from the assumption that not every threat to human development is also a security threat. On the other hand a narrow approach to it must be emphasized that this physical hazard exists only in relation to individual security and does not suit the contemporary danger to human life. The paradox of modern safety appears to us in the relationship between the sense of security of the individual, human rights protection, terrorist threats, and international, national, and local standards, also in cases of “ignoring” these standards by both the local authorities and government. Assessing the conditions under which the modern state creates social security institutions, to a number of objective trends must be captured. The overriding is the need to create institutional forms of counteracting the threats of the increasingly diverse nature.
