National Security is a concept that is intricately linked to a state’s social and political structures. It is a broad concept that is aimed at enhancing a state’s power and influence. One of the most crucial aspects of national security is the protection of a nation’s homeland, including its territories. A state’s ability to safeguard its national interests, economic concerns and maintain its international reputation is also critical in ensuring national security. This notion of security is not limited to external threats but also includes internal challenges that could threaten the state’s survival. In contrast, human security is centred on the safety and protection of individuals rather than the state’s territory. It emphasizes the safety and well-being of people over national interests. Human security is achieved through development and other non-military means, as opposed to the use of arms. The goal of this strategy is to protect everyone's security in all settings and aspects of their lives, including their residences, places of employment, streets, societies, and environments.
