We understand the complexity and the interrelatedness of both old and new security threats people are currently face with and the impact of such threats on society as root causes of violence. We therefore place people at the core of our effort to ensure the peace and security of our communities and states. Human Security re-conceptualizes security in a fundamental way. It shifts from traditional, state-centric conceptions of security that focused primarily on the safety of states from military aggression, to one that concentrates on the security of the individuals, their protection and empowerment. Human security enhances human freedoms and human fulfilment as fundamental to the achievement of sustainable community and state peace and security.
