United Nations Development Programme’s 1994 Human Development Report has brought human security concept to the forefront. Human security is distinguished from previously common state and national security by its emphasis on freedom from want and fear and freedom to live in dignity. This definition focuses on human security’s links with human development and human rights. The report defines human security on the basis of seven categories: economic security, food security, health security, environmental security, personal security, community security and political security. This article argues that human security does not have critical power. The article first presents how human security is put into practice. Then it will look at the work of academics who support the concept. For its supporters, human security points to a liberating transformation in security studies. Finally, it will focus on critical approaches to the concept. Among the critical academics, there are those who oppose the wide scope of the concept as well as those who see the concept as a tool for the states. The strengths and weaknesses of the concept will thus be brought together in this article. This sets the article apart from studies which focus either on supporting or criticizing the concept.
