Human security in development and international politics

Abstract

Human security is not intended in any way to undermine the sovereignty of the state but on the contrary it is not possible to achieve only through effective state institutions and can trace the roots of the concept of human security in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, as it focused on establishing some rules to ensure human rights and how to protect them and through which the achievement of human security was followed by then a number of initiatives, Ltd. put forward the idea that human security, but he did not have great resonance and influential role to put the concept on the agenda of international relations where first appeared psychology theory in 1966, a Canadian origin under individual security name followed after that at the beginning of the seventies a group of committees that conducted



in the preparation of numerous reports, including the group the Club of Rome, and the Independent Commission for International Development, and the Independent Commission on disarmament and security issues, as these committees confirmed in preparing their reports on the importance of achieving human security, as well as monitor the situation of individuals from all over the world from poverty and pollution and lack of job security in the workplace and then focus the problems of individuals.
But the real contribution to the emergence of this concept came through the Human Development Report 2004 issued by the United Nations Development Programme, which addressed, particularly in the second quarter from two important areas: The first is freedom from want, and the other is the freedom from fear, which was confirmed by the Secretary General of the United Nations Former Kofi Annan in his report of the United Nations, issued in 2000, entitled (we humans) where the report included human security from a broad perspective it includes human rights, good governance, access to education, health care and opportunities for each individual for the purpose of achieving his ambitions, all in order to reduce poverty and to achieve economic growth and suit the aspirations of human beings.
There are two approaches competing human security emerged through international practices in Japanese and Canadian initiatives first The vision, a Japanese wide, based on the original version, which had been approved by the United Nations Development Program and summed up with the words "freedom from want" human security almost is to ensure the basic needs of the human being and economic, health and food, social and environmental, which is reflected directly to the Commission on Human Security Report for the year 2003, and activities funded by the Japanese Fund for Human Security, which focused on trade, health care and education issues and fundamental freedoms as well as the study of conflict situations.
The Fund has paid attention to projects such as food security for farmers in East Timor or health security in Tajikistan, The second initiative, a Canadian it may see less extensive than the Japanese vision is more closely related to human security network and logo basic "freedom from fear", as it represents a human security mainly to get rid of the use of force, violence or the threat of them from people's daily lives.
