Earlier security thread would mean thread to the boundaries, to the nation or to the government. There fore their security was paramount. Now not only countries, but also individuals, societies and mankind itself are facing various threats.
Non traditional security has two factors:
- Human Security
- Global security
Human Security:
The security of people is more important than the security of countries. Now a days the citizens are not safe in any country. In the last 100 years, governments have killed more of their own people than the enemies of the country have killed.
To face human security and to ensure security, there are two views.
- Narrow concept
- Broad concept
The narrow concept gives importance to attacks on individuals. According to the opinion of the ex UN Secretary General Ko Annan, narrow concept is the security of individuals and communities from internal violence. In Broad concept, the concept of security is extended to protection from poverty, disease and natural disasters. It is so because the people who die from terrorism, ethnic cleansing and war will be less than those who die from poverty, disease and natural disasters. The human security policy aims at protecting people’ from disasters and attacks.
Global Security:
This concept came because of the coming of global warming, terrorism, AIDS, bird fever, etc. No country can solve these problems alone. It is in these circumstances the necessity and importance of global security was recognized. Recently there was the outbreak of swine u which once again pointed to the importance of global security.
