Human security

Security of each state as of vitas Iranians security was identified with and remains crucial of
state. Security of individuals is held as synonymous with state. With the traditional security
comets war & military activities where as the non- traditional or modern security believes in
individual security and protection of human life. Human security puts importance on
individual security than state security.

State is the only identify & referent object of security to which all other rival claimants most
remain subservient (instrument) in this classical formulation. Security has been considered as
both a prerogative a responsibility of state. The security of state is synonymous with the
security of the individual. State well equipped with most sophisticated a modern weapons
may not be able to provide security to individuals against health hozards global warning, sea
level rise and other catastrophes. Even when a state is secure from external threats or internal
instabilities. Secure for if people is not guaranteed. The classical state security doesn’t answer
the thus of gender, human right & indentify which have been central factors in political
instability and social tensions.

The primacy of state security is very closely associated with the nation of security implies the
security of the seeing or the price. The emergence of democratic polity and transfer of
primacy from the
prince to the citizenry implies a shift in the nation of security. So far broadening it to include
the security not only of the prince out also for the everyday survival of the citizen. Thus
primacy on security of the individual as central to the conceptualization of security along
with the states is defined as human security.
