Perspectives of the human security concept

Abstract

Development of the human security concept and placing the individual in the center of security calculations causes major changes in the contemporary security studies. With a view that the human security concept is not precisely defined and due to this imprecision and extensive application its heuristic value is minimal, the authors seek to more precisely define and operationalize the concept in order to enhance its theoretical and practical value. The first step to the right direction was the 2001 'Responsibility to Protect' Report, which was actualized with 'Implementing the 'Responsibility to Protect'' Report by the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2009.

Razvoj koncepta ljudske bezbednosti i postavljanje pojedinca u centar bezbednosnih kalkulacija izaziva velike promene u savremenim studijama bezbednosti. Budući da koncept ljudske bezbednosti nije precizno određen i da je usled te nepreciznosti i široke primene njegova heuristička vrednost minimalna, autori nastoje da ga preciznije odrede i operacionalizuju kako bi se uvećala njegova teorijska i praktična vrednost. Prvi korak u tom pravcu je izveštaj 'Odgovornost da se zaštiti', iz 2001. godine, koji je generalni sekretar OUN Ban Ki Mun aktuelizovao 2009. godine kroz izveštaj 'Implementiranje 'Odgovornosti da se zaštiti''.
