Abstract: 

This paper aims at furthering the debate on human security. It considers the incorporation of the concept into policy frameworks and suggests concrete tools to operationalise human security on the ground. The paper emphasizes the role and responsibilities of governance actors at all levels-from the local to the global -in ensuring individuals’ freedom from fear and freedom from want, the two central planks of human security.
