Human securities a
concept central to rule of law, by which every
individual have the freedom and opportunity to live
in a just and peaceful environment. There are seven
main categories that contribute to human security as
defined by the UN in its Human development report in
1994.The seven categories are:
-
Economic Security
-
Food Security
-
Health Security
-
Environmental
Security

Personal Security
-
Community Security

Political Security
Human security means
safety for people from violent threats, such as
organized conflict, gross violations of human
rights, terrorism and violent crime. It also means
safety from non-violent threats, such as
environmental degradation, economic crises, illicit
drugs, infectious diseases and natural disasters.
Once the nature of the threat has been identified,
several tools can be used to promote human security.
Some tools rely chiefly on persuasion. Others are
more robust-for instance, sanctions or military
intervention.
