Human security as a key factor of international humanitarian law

Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the problem of human security in the context of international humanitarian law. Here security will be interpreted as the security of people, not just territory. It is noted that human security is under threat not only from other people and states, but also from their own state. The state should actually do good to its population, and not harm it. The welfare and dignity of the individual must be the first aim of government.
