The concept of human security expanded the notion of security. The shift in focus from the state to the individual as the core object of security acknowledged the fact that intra-state conflicts such as civil wars, political violence, diseases, or poverty were greater threats to humans than inter-state wars. The concept has not brought about a paradigm shift in international security policy. But human security will most likely remain politically relevant even after recent changes in the strategic framework.
