<p class=""><b style><span style> </span></b></p><span style="font-size:14pt"></span>At
a minimum, human security means freedom from violence and from the fear of
violence. Unlike the more traditional concept of national security --which
focuses on defending borders from external military threats-- human security is
concerned with the security of individuals.
<p class=""><b style><span style> </span></b></p><span style="font-size:14pt"> The
broad definition of human security encompasses everything that constitutes
freedom from want and freedom from fear.</span>
<p class=""><span style="font-size:14pt"></span><span style="font-size:14pt">Human security is
indebted to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights" title="Human rights">human rights</a> (HR) tradition. The human security model
can be seen to have drawn upon ideas and concepts fundamental to the HR tradition.
Both approaches use the individual as the main referent and both argue that a
wide range of issues (i.e. civil rights, cultural identity, access to education
and health care) are fundamental to human dignity.<span style> </span>A major difference between the two models is found
in their approach to addressing threats to human dignity* and survival. While
the HR framework takes an approach based on HR covenants, the human security
framework adopts flexible and issue-specific approaches, to make them work at
local, national or international levels as fits the specific needs.</span>
</p><p class="" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="letter-spacing:-0.15pt">*: Dignity is the enemy of charity (which in HR
work we consider a sin); pride is no sin; pride is actually pure dignity. Pride
is not a right; dignity is. </span><span style>The basic demand for dignity is a demand shared
by all in this world.<br></span></p>
