HUMAN

SECURITY
TOPIC 1
 HUMAN SECURITY
• Embraces far more than the absence of
violent conflict.
• It encompasses HUMAN RIGHTS, GOOD
GOVERNANCE, ACCESS TO EDUCATION
AND HEALTH CARE AND
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOICES TO
FULLFIL HIS/HER POTENTIAL.
POVERTY- is a state or
condition in which a person or
community lacks the financial
resources and essentials for a
minimum standard of living.

ECONOMIC GROWTH- an increase in

the amount of goods and services
produced per head of the
population over a period of time.
CONFLICT
competitive or opposing action of
incompatibles, antagonistic state or
action (as of divergent ideas, interests,
or persons) or mental struggle resulting
from incompatible or opposing needs,
drives, wishes, or external or internal
demands.
NATIONAL SECURITY
- Is defined as the state or condition of
being wherein the values which a nation
treasures such as territorial integrity,
sovereignty, people’s way of life and well-
being are protected and enhanced.
NATIONAL SECURITY ( IN THE PHILIPPINE
CONTEXT)

• As indicated in the NSC Permanent Secretariat, National Security is

described as
A condition or state of being where the Filipino people’s values,
way of life, institutions, welfare and well-being, sovereignty and
strategic relations are protected and enhanced.
 ELEMENTS OF NATIONAL SECURITY
• Moral-spiritual concensus
There is agreement among the people
on the wisdom and righteousness of
the national vision, and they are
inspired by their patriotism and
national pride to participate vigorously
in the pursuit of the country's goals
and objectives.
• Cultural cohesiveness- comes from
the word Culture, the shared
attitudes and values that
characterize a country and
Cohesiveness, forming of a united
whole. The power of cultural
cohesiveness is about the
maximization of awareness,
communication and commitment.
• Economic Solidarity- being a
global movement of people,
organisations, economic
initiatives, projects and activity
all committed to building a
better world together and
transforming our economic
system.
• Socio-Political Stability- not simply a
set of laws but is based on belief in the
sanctity of those laws. It is a social
construct. A dominant social paradigm
about how the political world works. A
great challenge to that set of beliefs is
the ability of social and mass media to
create a universe of alternative facts.
• Ecological Balance- effective
conservation of our natural
environment in the face of industrial
and agricultural expansion and
population growth. This dimension
of national security seeks to support
development that is
environmentally sustainable for the
benefit of the country.
• Territorial Integrity- Territorial
integrity is the principle under
international law that prohibits
states from the use of force
against the "territorial integrity
or political independence" of
another state.
• International Harmony- harmony exists when states who are acting
in their own interest by consequence happen to also benefit other
states in the pursuit of their own goals.
The measures taken to ensure National Security includes:

• Using diplomacy to rally allies and isolate threats

• Maintaining effective armed forces
• Implementing civil defense and emergency preparedness measures (including
Anti-terrorism legislation)
• Ensuring the resilience and security of critical infrastructure and;
• Using intelligence services to detect and defeat or avoid threats and
espionage, and to protect classified information.
