Question:

Which of the following should not be included in ‘broad’ concept of human security?

Options:

genocide

hunger

natural disasters

disease

Correct Answer:

genocide

Explanation:

Proponents of the ‘broad’ concept of human security argue that the threat agenda should include hunger, disease, and natural disasters because these kill far more people than war, genocide, and terrorism combined. Human security policy, they argue, should protect people from these threats as well as from violence. In its broadest formulation, the human security agenda also encompasses economic security and ‘threats to human dignity.
