Human security and development

  The speech of human security was presented for the first time in 1994 by the intermediary of the Human Development Report, published by the Development Programme (UNDP). There it is mentioned that the human security extends to seven dimensions: economical, nutritional, health, environmental, personal, community and political. The common thing is to pay more attention to the so called real and strong, and to forget that the hunger, the lack of water and of good sanitation, caused millions of deaths each year. The same issues that are tied to Human Security are also tied to development; the danger called by some academics and politicians as “soft threats”. Human security - Ramesh Thakur sustains in his book- is neither an opposition nor a replacement to the national security -it should not be-. The coexistence must be accepted, there must be work in that sense, to get the development -harder to do in some countries- to help reach a more real security.
