Through a documentary analysis, this article explores the definition of human security and its implementation in Armed Forces management. It seeks to answer how to protect freedoms and rights encompassed in human security by the institutions of the social State under the rule of law. Through a documentary review, it is shown that this is not exclusive responsibility of a single institution but requires an articulated work by all the actors committed to these freedoms, based on a comprehensive state policy. It is concluded that the debate is based on how to achieve the human security through the military performance without overlooking its constitutional mission of protection. Therefore, it is necessary to align human development and the Armed Forces capabilities without compromising their constitutional mandate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the strategic significance of security in critical water infrastructure, an essential resource for human life. Focusing on Spain, it explores the security system of this infrastructure and the existing legislation against threats to critical infrastructures, particularly drinking water supply. The study describes potential types of attacks, the preparedness of passive and active security systems against these threats, and the legislative developments to penalize them. Despite the increasing importance of this issue, as water infrastructure can be a target for terrorism with unimaginable impacts on life, health, economy, and society, the paper concludes that there are gaps in the classification and definition of sanctions against such attacks in Spain.

In the development of the existing conflicts encompassed in the historical development of Colombian society, the year 2020 marked a turning point for citizens and institutions as a result of social upheavals that had been occurring and that demanded responses in order to reformulate the functions of the Public Force. This article explores the historical context that gave way to this process of reflexivity and, in turn, assumes a theoretical and political position concerning the perspective of the security forces in the current process of transformation towards a culture of institutional and social peace. This is carried out by means of a qualitative methodology of a comprehensive hermeneutic nature that allows us to explore, based on the Colombian experience, the ways to contribute to the construction of a culture of peace. Thus, finally, Human Security is presented as a concept and practice that allows for the strengthening of Human Rights in the institutions and works towards their promotion and respect, generating trust between the security forces and society, and a change in the institutional and social paradigm that reconciles us as a country.

Studies surrounding transnational repression have taken an interest in the relationships between targeted citizens and their countries of origin, such as strategies used against individuals, and the legitimacy of exercising such extraterritorial powers. However, the role of the host state in facilitating this transnational repressive control is yet another area that requires greater academic attention. This article argues that a host state's policy silence and legal loopholes regarding the protection of political exiles against transnational repression practices can allow the country of origin to aggressively exercise control over the diaspora population beyond borders, causing spatial encroachment symbolically and materially in the host state. We use Thailand as a case study by examining certain areas of policy spaces that have potential impacts on the growth of transnational repression practices. The study concludes that the host state's reactions to such practices have strong implications for the expansion of repressive transnational powers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The security and defense landscape is changing and gradually presents more numerous and varied challenges, which should be understood both for practical purposes in decision-making and for investigative purposes. The objective of this article is to identify the main thematic axes at a strategic-level affecting Colombia’s security and defense. Under a qualitative approach, a content analysis of 62 specialized documents and the opinion of 67 experts was carried out, which allowed the identification of 25 thematic axes for Colombia’s security and defense. Among the findings, transnational organized crime stands out as the most important issue, followed by political and governmental issues, and economic issues. This demonstrates the growing relevance of security factors and threats, beyond the traditional state-centric approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work analyzes the evolution of the peace notion in the international order. This is necessary to identify one of its most important aspects currently: the human dimension of this concept. The main goal of this study is to outline the consequences of incorporating the human dimension to the peace's development at the international society and, therefore, to the States' behaviour. To this end, the study uses the methodology of the international legal system on the basis of international practice postulates which is expressed through the States and International Organizations' behaviour and the doctrine's positions. The main findings of this research work are that peace has evolved from a traditional position, linked to the use of force and with the aim of preventing acts of aggression, to an approach in which respect for human rights is essential to ensuring international peace and security. It sets the foundations for proclaiming the recognition of a human right to peace which is not yet fully consolidated in the international order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a robust documentary analysis of the concepts of human security and multidimensional security, their focus on protecting human rights, differences in the state's role for this purpose, and their relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals. It also explores the recent human rights situation in Colombia and the importance of specific indicators to assess and guarantee the protection of human rights. It is concluded that the concepts of human security and multidimensional security share their emphasis on the comprehensive protection of human rights and highlights the contribution of the Sustainable Development Goals for this purpose, as well as of the specific indicators, both for countries and for international organizations that evaluate the guarantee of human rights.

This article evaluates Colombia's strengths and weaknesses in facing current extra-regional and transnational threats based on a theoretical conception of the State power's constitutive variables. To this end, extra-regional and transnational threats are analyzed in the present and future scenarios. These show diffuse threats, with agile, convergent agents leveraging on tools of the globalized world to broaden their spectrum of action. Then, the general equation of State power is addressed from a smart power approach to establish the current balance of the Colombian State in the face of the challenges derived from these threats. Finally, weaknesses are identified in the geopolitical power, the military capacity to face hybrid warfare, and the lag of professionalism in its diplomatic capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although the initiation of COVID-19 vaccination brought hope, IFM forecasts that the main fault line to global recovery is access to vaccines, an argument that reinforces the idea that COVID-19 is a syndemic and not a pandemic. This article argues that from the lens of Global International Relations three elements impact vaccine access and affordability: human security, global governance, and International Law. First, the health emergency requires rethinking security considering the multiple risks and threats centred on the human being. Second, inefficiency of global governance led to the success of vaccine diplomacy over Covax Facility, as well as India and South Africa's long and uncertain struggle for a waiver in the World Trade Organisation. Finally, although Law plays an essential role in building resilience in situations of vulnerability, the international legal system lacks treaties that rule pandemics or establish limits to intellectual property if the immunity of herd requires it.

This work aims to explain the defense policy by his division in three stages about the knowledge of the enemy: In the firs stage (1945-89) the hostilities between the communistic bloc and the capitalistic bloc grow up the military expedinture. In the second stage (1989-2001) the demise of the comunistic bloc decreases the military expenditure . In the third stage (from 2001 since today) arises the arms race a cause of the apparition of the populism and the post-truth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes human rights and the environment as they relate to human security, starting from the evolution of the concept of security to the multidimensional perspective adopted internationally. Based on the dimensions of human security, especially the dimension of environmental security, it studies its interrelation with human rights. To this end, it analyzes the framework principles on human rights and the environment set forth by the United Nations in 2018, which establish the states’ main obligations in terms of human rights, related to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. It concludes that these framework principles are key to harmonizing and highlighting the interrelationship of human rights and the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sustainable development is the starting point in the discussion on policies and development plans in the academic, political, and economic fields; for both emerging and developed countries. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the importance of this concept in the Colombian context, since it seeks to champion a large part of its national interests, since promoting projects that are sustainable, and, therefore, more friendly to the environment must be one of his focuses of interest. In this order, the importance of water as a natural resource that ensures an adequate standard of living is highlighted, especially because it is one of the fundamental conditions for survival, in addition to the threats that exist around its use and / or consumption. . Based on the above, this work presents the analysis and achievement of the review of bibliographic sources, which intends to suggest some strategic environmental guidelines, which are assertive to achieve some of the sustainable development objectives through the protection of the Water.

The objective of this paper is to make an initial approach to both the human security paradigm and the issues of border security and migration at the northern Mexican border. The approach is conceptual and arises from Geography for peace, a perspective that articulates the approaches of critical geography (political geography from political economy and geographical historical materialism), human rights, and peace studies and conflicts transformation. The conclusions focus on proposing a paradigm shift in border security, moving from a national security approach focused on the State, to one focused on people and their rights, and is guided by the principle of shared responsibility. Despite being an initial approach, the text seeks to promote a paradigm shift, to in future work, provide concrete strategies and lines of action that contribute to materialize the human security approach at the borders of Mexico.

This article analyzes the dialectical relationship between terrorism and human security to reveal its dimensions and their role in counterterrorism and to understand what motivates individuals to join terrorist groups. Adopting a qualitative methodological design, data were analyzed through deductive reasoning from the sociological perspective. The findings revealed that terrorist threats to human security could not be addressed through traditional mechanisms alone. They require a new consensus that recognizes the linkages and interdependencies between development, human rights, and national security through a comprehensive approach that uses a wide range of new opportunities.

The national security and defense approach in Colombia is analyzed in this article since the second half of the 20th century to propose the national security planning phases, faced with today's complex challenges involving the civilian and institutional sectors. Initially, the theoretical evolution of the concept of security and defense and its implementation in the legal apparatus are addressed based on a qualitative methodology. The main characteristics of national strategic planning in the 1996 National Security and Defense Manual are then examined. The phases for planning the National Security Strategy with the multidimensional security approach are proposed. Finally, some conclusions on security and the construction of its strategy in Colombia are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We undertake a socio-legal analysis regarding the nature of asylum and its growing ambiguity given Mexico's historical tradition of solidarity towards migrants in need of international protection. We discuss the geopolitical situation regarding the migration policy of the United States and Mexico, and contrast it with how asylum has evolved within the legal regulations of the universal human rights and the Inter-American systems, as well as its relationship with Mexican regulations. We conclude that in order for the concept of asylum to be considered a human right, it must be redefined in Mexico to have greater scope in keeping with the current state of human mobility, in line with other concepts of international protection, such as refuge and supplementary protection.

Security discourse has radically changed over the years, especially since the Post–Cold War period. The traditional concept focuses on state security and national security, and is essentially based on realist and neo-realist paradigms. However, in 1994, the United Nations Human Development Report for the first time elaborated the notion of human security and the associated Human Development Index (HDI). Human security advocates a people-centric approach to security. The two foundational principles on which human security is based are "freedom from fear" and "freedom from want." I evaluate the notions of state security versus human security and examine how South Asian countries have fared regarding the human security indices. I conclude that, despite advances in some areas, various HDI parameters show that the human security record is still rather dismal in South Asia. There remains a critical need to improve it.

After the theoretical, conceptual and methodological review of the academic and practical approaches to security, the relevance of curricular contents and teaching methods is considered to be a reflective exercise within the Master's Degree in Direction and Management of Integral Security at the Colombian Air Force's Postgraduate School. Through the concept of skills coined by Amartya Sen and the educational approach by components, a diagnostic discussion is developed related to the improvement opportunities for the academic program to expand the theoretical and practical knowledge of the students according to their professional experiences and demands of contemporary security dynamics. From a consultation exercise to the members of the educational community involved, through surveys and interviews, the theoretical reflection on safety is combined with their current perceptions and expectations regarding work. It concludes with an open discussion about the need to expand the research component in order to increase the action capabilities of the students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
