Brilliant work but I do not agree with Mary Kaldor on the primacy of human rights. i think that in many ways especially when dealing with infectious disease and terrorism. In protecting the individuals and communities the pursuit of human rights is suspended. Take for example how China dealt with the swine flu issue in sending back planes from endemic areas. or how cambodia is creating an HIV zone. Human security is primarily preventive and for its success such measures are required though regrettable. I am writing a thesis on health and human security and i like your analysis.

Whether we call our response to these concerns ‘human security’, or any other appellation, should not be our primary occupation; that we address them, must be!” Cheryl Hendrix. SAY IT SISTA!

Have you read Peter Liotta's piece on "Creeping Vulnerabilities and the Reordering of Security" in Security Dialogue 36(1):49-70? I found it to be one of the best takes on the concept of human security. Would be great to get your thoughts on the piece if time permits. Hi Christopher,
