Human Rights Dimensions of Security Oversight
Keywords:
Human rights, security surveillance, freedom, human securityAbstract
Ensuring the security of individuals in society while observing human rights principles is one of the duties of governance. However, while emphasizing the importance and necessity of this duty, the present study seeks to explain the effect of the role and participation of the people in achieving desirable and sustainable security. Certainly, security that derives from the cooperation, solidarity, and synergy of different social groups with the institutions responsible for security will be sustainable and inviolable. Since there are many commonalities, especially in some important human rights categories such as the right to life, human dignity, the right to freedom, the rights to education and training, and similar matters, between Islamic human rights and what is referred to as universal human rights, despite the foundational and fundamental differences between Islamic human rights and what we believe in as the rights of the nation based on our country’s Constitution, and despite the fact that this issue has become a point of pressure, bargaining, and exploitation by major powers, it is necessary to design a model that includes explanatory, defensive, and offensive approaches for interaction within this framework. Consequently, because human rights and human security focus on a single subject, namely “human dignity,” and on the development of different dimensions of human life, including individual, social, and international dimensions, they have the capacity to overlap with and reinforce one another. Human rights provide the legal and juridical foundations necessary for realizing human security strategies, namely “protection” and “empowerment.” Conversely, by emphasizing the operational dimensions of international human rights instruments, particularly economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as the securitization of certain concerns shared with human rights, human security provides the necessary support for the objectives explicitly stated in international human rights instruments.
