This article briefly discusses on the concept of human security, its dimensions and challenges. The concept of human security is the paradigm shift from state-centered traditional notion of security to individual-centered idea focusing on protection, dignity and sustainable development. In brief it freedom from fear, freedom from want and beyond.

presentation sustainable solutions for peace and human securityTayo Aduloju
Dr Tayo Aduloju Presentation to the 21st Nigerian Economic Summit exploring new tools, techniques and methodologies for mapping, identifying and reducing threats to sustainable peace and human security
Seven specific elements that comprise human security:
(1) economic security (e.g., freedom from poverty);
(2) food security (e.g., access to food);
(3) health security (e.g., access to health care and protection from diseases);
(4) environmental security (e.g., protection from such dangers as environmental pollution and depletion);
(5) personal security (e.g., physical safety from such things as torture, war, criminal attacks, domestic violence, drug use, suicide, and even traffic accidents);
(6) community security (e.g., survival of traditional cultures and ethnic groups as well as the physical security of these groups);
(7) political security (e.g., enjoyment of civil and political rights, and freedom from political oppression).
In this presentation, I will try to achieve 4 objectives.
I will discuss that there seems to be some emerging consensus on the scope of “Human Security.”
I will show the complementarity between the “State Security” and “Human Security.”
I will explain that a “Human Security Approach” offers us a useful framework to assess & analyze the multiple threats that vulnerable people face.
I will discuss that this multidisciplinary “Human Security Approach,” overcoming academic compartmentalization in “delivering as one,” is effective in narrowing the gap through the dual strategies of empowerment and protection.
This work was presented during the II Workshop on Medical Anthropology in Rome, on October 14th - 15th 2011.

Dialectical Relationship Between Terrorism and Human Security: A Sociological...Rula alsawalqa
This article analyzes the dialectical relationship between terrorism and human security to reveal its dimensions and their role in counterterrorism and to understand what motivates individuals to join terrorist groups. Adopting a qualitative methodological design, data were analyzed through deductive reasoning from the sociological perspective. The findings revealed that terrorist threats to human security could not be addressed through traditional mechanisms alone. They require a new consensus that recognizes the linkages and interdependencies between development, human rights, and national security through a comprehensive approach that uses a wide range of new opportunities.
Peace and security are fundamental human needs and aspirations. They are essential for the well-being of individuals, communities, and nations. They are closely interconnected with other pillars of human development, such as economic prosperity, social inclusion, and respect for human rights.
However, achieving peace and security is a complex and challenging task. Throughout history, humankind has faced numerous threats to peace and security, including armed conflicts, terrorism, organized crime, and human rights abuses.

International Security in the post cold war era Part-I.pptxAqiafKhattak
The four most imminent threats to international security are: nuclear proliferation, transnational terrorism, human security, and in the long-term, the non-traditional threat of environmental degradation
In New York in June 2011, Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) conducted five trainings, consultations and presentations to United Nations and UN-related organizations, including the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC). Marking NP and unarmed civilian peacekeeping's (UCP) biggest exposure ever at the UN, the presentations create further opportunities to advance policy and funding for UCP.
The UN’s invitation and sponsorship of the trainings attest to the international recognition unarmed civilian peacekeeping is gaining through NP’s civilian protection efforts in Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Sudan.
Panel Debate: Mediation, Conflict Prevention, Resolution and Post-conflict Re...Africa Cheetah Run
Conflict resolution is a way for two or more parties to find a peaceful solution to a disagreement among them. The disagreement may be personal, financial, political, or emotional. When a dispute arises, often the best course of action is negotiation to resolve the disagreement. The overall reduction in the number of violent conflicts can, in part, be attributed to the collective efforts of the United Nations, other international actors and regional organisations.

A failing response to growing insecurity
People across the world face growing insecurity. Violent conflict is spreading and intensifying,
economic inequality is widening, and the natural ecology on which human life depends is in jeopardy.
The world’s poorest people bear the brunt, while those in rich countries are also increasingly affected.
The preferred responses of Western states are manifestly not working and have often made matters
worse. The UK’s primary response has been to ‘project power’, joining the US and other Western
states in a series of military intervention.

Abstract
Immediately after the Cold war, there was a general optimism of an international system that would
enable the component nation-states to pursue economic growth and greater independence. Despite
the various strategies by the component nation states in the international system to attain self-
sufficiency in economic terms and thus reduce dependence on other nation states for their needs
and survival thereby weakening bilateral relations, the contemporary realities of the international
system in the face of global security challenges pose a compelling sustained cooperation and
collaboration among the nation states in the international system. Global security includes military
and diplomatic measures that nations and international organizations such as the United Nations
(UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) take to ensure mutual safety and security.
It also includes the regional and sub-regional collaborative strategies at combating security
challenges. Diplomacy and global security are among the most pressing issues facing the world
today. Success or failure can have huge implications for the international community and society
as a whole. This paper submits that global security will remain a compelling factor in diplomatic
relations in the twenty-first century.

The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) is geared towards improving governance in the oil, gas and minerals sector. The EITI currently includes 53 countries across the world, half of which are in Africa. It is governed by multi-stakeholder coalitions representing business, governments and civil society organisations.
The EITI started out in 2007 by disclosing payments made by companies to governments in the form of license fees, taxes and other payments. Governments in turn disclosed payments they received from companies to identify possible discrepancies in reported revenues. Disclosures under the EITI are now increasingly fine-grained, focusing on identifying beneficial owners, publicising contracts, commodity trading transparency and project level investments. The EITI seeks to tackle corruption, promote accountability, strengthen institutions, and contribute to domestic resource mobilisation. The current approach also highlights gender and environmental considerations in government and company reporting.
Many EITI countries are currently facing a triple crisis occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic: a health emergency, a massive fall in government revenues triggered by oil and commodity price falls, and an economic crisis caused by a huge reduction in global demand. This lecture explores the continued salience of governance and transparency work in the extractives sector during a period of acute global crisis, amid growing constraints on government budgets and capacity, and increasing limitations on civic space and advocacy.
This Sussex Development Lecture addresses this set of issues to place the EITI in a broader perspective as a leading global transparency and accountability initiative.
This lecture is part of the Sussex Development Lecture series: Global development challenges: towards a politics of hope.

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) potentially offer an inclusive, integrated approach to development, centred on social justice, for all of humanity. But how are they being implemented in practice? Too often a piece-meal, sectoral approach is adopted, rooted in modernist assumptions of linear transition and control.
Ian Scoones, IDS researcher and co-director of the STEPS Centre
The project of development is very much implicated in the production of climate change, as well as how it has been managed to date. But can the development sector also help to bring about the sorts of transformations now required to prevent climate chaos?
This lecture looks at the intertwined histories of development and climate change and argues that only a very different approach to development can help to address the climate crisis we currently face.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
