Abstract/Summary

NATO has not made a clear case for how its Human Security Approach and Guiding Principles can improve how the Alliance identifies and responds to insecurities, particularly in a collective defence scenario. To aid the development of the Military Contribution to Human Security (MC2HS), this thematic paper explains how human security is a unique method of analysis underpinned by evidence-based principles. Second, it explains how to operationalize human security within civil-miliary cooperation (CIMIC) and other Joint Functions to improve NATO’s understanding of the human environment. Lastly, it argues a human security approach can improve collective defence operations, including by better preventing and responding to the insecurities faced by the civilian population.
