Thanks to Mr. Samata
Mr. Samata, second year master student from the Graduate School of Law, made an article review on Human Security and international law briefly. He took Prof. Mariko Shoji’s article as an object of review, which is titled “The Implications of the concept of human security for the United Nations”, Journal of International Law and Diplomacy, vol. 106 no. 2 (2006), pp. 77-110（original written in Japanese, titled as 庄司真理子「国連における人間の安全保障概念の意義」『国際法外交雑誌』106巻2号（2006年）77－110頁）. The article mainly focuses on: what the concept of the human security demands, the background of the birth of human security, the difference between the concept of Human Security and existing legal norms.
After summarizing the overview, following points were discussed.
- The implication of the concept of Human Security in the context of development issues
- The similarity between “Sustainability” and “Human Security” as obscure concepts
- Comprehensiveness of the concept of Human Security in comparison with legal concepts.
