“…(CHS 2003, 4) This concept of human security broke from the traditional statecentric notion of security as national security, which focuses on threats to national interests. The concept focused instead on individual human beings and the forces that threaten their lives -including environmental, economic, social, and cultural factors (Martin and Owen 2013). Threats to livelihoods and health, for example, may be just as important to individual human security as military arsenals and aggressive foreign policies.…”

Executive Summary In light of the science and evidence on hazards and climate risk, and the scale and breadth of large-scale disasters witnessed around the world, it is time for states and other actors to begin developing national and local frameworks on planned relocation. While planned relocations have had a poor record in terms of their socioeconomic effects, it is precisely for these reasons that proactive action is necessary. Planned relocation has the potential to save lives and assets, and consequently to safeguard or augment the human security of populations living in areas at high risk for disasters and the effects of climate change. Among the challenges hampering better outcomes for people, however, are the lack of national and local frameworks, community-driven decision making, and sufficient lead times to plan and implement appropriate interventions that promote human security. Relocation of populations is referenced in global frameworks on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) because it is a tool that will become increasingly important as a preventive and responsive measure to reduce the risks of disasters and displacement. This article recommends that national and local DRR and CCA strategies and development plans begin to incorporate planned relocation among the options under consideration to protect people and their human security. It argues that planning for relocations is an expression of a government’s responsibility to protect the human security of its people.

“…Commentators have pointed to the policy incoherencies of the original 1994 envisioning (Liotta 2004;Uvin 2004); some have questioned how it is different from the R2P agenda that emerged post-Rwanda (Evans and Sahnoun 2001; Hassan 2015); while others have asked if it is just another (neo)liberal agenda to impose and extend a Western global order (Acharya 2001;Duffield 2007). Despite the above shortcomings, human security has contributed importantly to the broadening of how humanitarian intervention is understood and how it needs to be resourced; and the concept has undoubtedly further solidified operational shifts in thinking about security (Commission on Human Security 2003; Altman et al 2012;Martin and Owen 2014). As Breslin and Christou (2015: 9) observe, its agenda over the last 25 years has progressed a more people-centred approach to security, an envisioning that is being adopted increasingly on the ground in spaces of intervention all over the world -by "individuals, NGOs, governments and international organisations to promote the security of individuals".…”

Though having considerable differences on the security concept, Christie (2010), Hampson (2008), Martin and owen (2013), newman (2010), and Pasha (2013) might be counted as examples for the ongoing debate in the literature. 10.…”

The identity of ‘the other’ for sexual violence victims: is there anything new in sexual violence prosecutions before the International Criminal Court?

Despite the spectacular development in the field of international criminal law, critical feminism stresses the narrow scope of the sex and gender crimes in the Rome Statute establishing the first permanent International Criminal Court. The current international criminal law discourse, as expressed by recent case law, is geared towards the protection of certain groups targeted on account of their distinctiveness within the framework of a conflict situation, and gender is not recognized as one of these group identities. The question whether international criminal law on sexual violence applies only to inter-group conflicts brings to the fore an uneasy likelihood of exclusion of some recently emergent situations where identities of the conflicting parties transcend a particular ethnicity or nationality, and where victims of sexual violence belong to the same group as their perpetrators. The article argues that, rather than the Rome Statute or newly introduced rules and regulations, a significant obstacle in developing gender justice is the narrow interpretation of sexual violence to inter-group hostilities.
