  Human Security on the Global Commons

Mr. Secretary General, President Srgjan Kerim, Distinguished
Members of the General Assembly, Dear Colleagues and
Friends, I’m honored to have this opportunity to address you
on the very crucial topic of human security. As you know, this
term was coined to shift the focus of security from the state to
the individual, to emphasize freedom from fear and want. But
I’d like to depart from the familiar dichotomy between
security as the defense of states and security as a personal
right, and offer a different perspective, viewing this question
through a wider lens.
