This article examines human security as a discourse which existed from structural inclusion/exclusion of state security, human rights, and human development. Drawing from the work of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and other thinkers that stressed in developing the concept of biopolitics, the article argues that human security was biopolitically produced through the structure of inclusion/exclusion of state security and human development. The methodology is applied by a poststructuralist philosophical foundation which considers the importance of linguistic ontology and discursive epistemology to understand the existence of the phenomenon. Its examination begins with an analytical exploration of juridical discourse that represents the international authority which amenable to define human security as a form of international security urgency. The article finds out that the inclusion/exclusion of state security and human development contribute to the exercise of power by defining the authority of international interventions to secure human life.
