TITLE Emerging Challenges to Human Security
ABSTRACT The concept of human security has emerged as an important shift in the understanding of security from a traditional state-centered perspective to a people-centered approach. Earlier, security was primarily associated with protecting state sovereignty and territorial integrity from external military threats. However, evolving global realities have demonstrated that the safety and well-being of individuals are equally crucial for achieving lasting peace and stability. Human security focuses on protecting individuals from a wide range of threats that affect their lives, dignity, and opportunities. In view of this, the paper examines the emerging challenges to human security and highlights the need for integrated, people-centered, and cooperative approaches to address them effectively.
