A Conceptual Shift
Shift
State security ⇒ human security
***Human security is defined as “protecting the vital core of all human lives in ways that enhance human freedoms and human fulfillment”
***Protecting vital freedoms = fundamental to human existence and development
Human security
= protecting people from severe and pervasive threats, both natural and social, and empowering individuals and communities to develop the capabilities for making informed choices and acting on their own behalf
“Vital freedoms”
= inalienable fundamental rights and freedoms
