Sisekorra

Sisekorra (internal order) is a term used in the Estonian language to denote the rules, norms, and procedures that govern behavior and operations within a state, an organization, or a community. It encompasses how institutions organize daily activities, maintain discipline, and ensure predictable operation.

In legal, administrative, and organizational contexts, sisekorra appears in codes of conduct, internal regulations, and security provisions. For example, many schools, companies, and public institutions maintain a sisekorra eeskiri or internal regulations that cover conduct, dress code, use of facilities, and disciplinary procedures. Phrases such as sisekorra rikkumine (breach of internal order) and sisekorra tagamine (maintenance of internal order) show its practical usage.

Historically, the term has appeared in Estonian administrative texts and legal drafting as a way to describe the internal norms that supplement formal laws with organizational rules. It is closely related to concepts such as internal regulation, internal policy, and domestic order, and it is often contrasted with external public order maintained by state authorities.

Because sisekorra is a language-specific term, its precise legal implications vary across institutions and contexts, and it does not signify a single universal legal category. It serves as a general label for the framework that governs everyday functioning inside an organization or state.
