Human Security: Protecting fundamental freedoms
Session
Security Studies
Description
The end of the Cold War has generated a concept of human security, which rapidly achieved great dominance and acceptance and became relevant security approach among academics and policy-makers. Intentionally, as a reactive measure, human security is built upon the idea that humanity is more likely to suffer from daily occurrences such as poverty, spread of diseases, social conflict, hunger, environmental challenges as well as political, social and cultural rights rather than cataclysmic global events. Though the implementation of human security concept took place in the mid-90s, its bases were established in the 40s, with the determination as stated in Preamble of UN Charter “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind.”. Focused on a co-habitat between humanity and state centered concerns as a basis of definition, human security makes well-being the most important issue and as such creates conditions of existence where basic human needs should be in partnership with traditional security.
The purpose of this paper is to argue that national security is partial without the human focus standpoint.

Human Security: Protecting fundamental freedoms

The end of the Cold War has generated a concept of human security, which rapidly achieved great dominance and acceptance and became relevant security approach among academics and policy-makers.
