Also called “human security”: the concept that the true security of a state (or person, or group) implies much more than freedom from (fear of) attack. As Palestinian Hannan Ashrawi has pointed out, “…they [the Israeli govt.] define security as only military. We define security as human security – not just personal, but territorial, economic, geographic, historical, identity, existential, there are all sorts of different aspects to human security.” Along with common security this concept constitutes the security vision of the nonviolence worldview or paradigm.
