Explain the concept of 'Human Security'.

Answer:

Human Security means the protection of the people more than the protection of states. The proponents of human security argue that the primary aim of the state is the protection of its individuals. According to them the concept of human security should include hunger, diseases and natural disasters as they kill even more people than war. Thus, human security should protect people from these threats as well as from violence and war.

In its broadest formulation, the human security agenda also encompasses economic security and ?threats to human dignity?.
