The concept of human security has gained prominence in global discussions about peace, stability, and development, emphasizing the security of individuals rather than states. This study examines the multifaceted nature of human security as defined by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in its 1994 Human Development Report. The research highlights seven key areas of human security: economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political security. By comparing traditional security approaches with the human security framework, this study explores how the latter broadens the scope of protection, integrating issues like poverty, human rights, and the environment into global security discourse. Additionally, the paper addresses criticisms and challenges related to the application of the human security paradigm and offers recommendations for enhancing its practical implementation.
