Human Security

The UNDP Human Development Report 1994 introduced a new concept of human security, which equated security with people rather than territories, with development rather than arms. Human security encompasses freedom from fear (such as conflict, natural disasters, and infectious diseases), freedom from want (basic needs such as food, education, and health), and freedom to live in dignity.
