Options

• None of the above

Answer 1

Protection of people more than the protection of states.

Explanation:

Human security is more concerned with the protection of individuals than with the protection of states. Human security and state security should be – and frequently are – synonymous. However, secure states do not always imply secure people. Protecting citizens from foreign attacks is a necessary condition for individual security, but it is far from sufficient. Indeed, over the last century, their own governments have killed more people than foreign armies.
