	Report by Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Human Development Report Office, UNDP
		The challenge for the region is to regain the relatively high human development indicators, overcome the newly emerging poverty and unemployment, and increase the capacity of institutions, including civil society, to maintain social cohesion and provide human security.
		Kalman Mizsei, recalled the definition of Human Security from the Human Development Report of 1994, which argued that people should be able to exercise choices safely and freely, while being fairly confident that the opportunities acquired today will not be taken away from them tomorrow.
		Human security is a relevant approach to the unfinished dual agenda in Central Asia: Transition to a democratic political system and to an efficient and fair market economy, without further impoverishment of people or depriving them of equality and access to quality education, healthcare and participation in political processes.

	Human Security, Human Rights, and Human Development" at Harvard Kennedy School
		Sabina Alkire presented a working definition of human security as written in her draft paper, "Conceptual Framework for the Commission on Human Security." She concluded by elaborating on possible linkages between human security, human rights, and human development - the central focus of this seminar.
		Human security, a relatively new concept, has not yet developed the degree of independent priority that has been achieved by human rights.
		One approach to promoting human security is to encourage the incorporation of human security elements into the related fields of human rights, human development, and national security.

		Studies in Human Development may draw upon many different disciplines of the natural, social and behavioral sciences in an effort to understand human experience and behavior.
		Human Development uses the scientific method as its basic model of learning and knowing.
		Thus, students are expected to develop competencies in the following areas: asking and researching questions; observing and analyzing behavior; recording and interpreting data and observations; and examining and communicating ideas.

		This area of human development is growing rapidly in response to the advent of new technologies in data processing.
		As human development evolved, the biological, cognitive and social dimensions of development remain focal, but development is always understood within the context of such variables as an individual's cohort and culture.

	Integrating human rights with sustainable human development-A UNDP Policy document (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Development is unsustainable where the rule of law and equity do not exist; where ethnic, religious or sexual discrimination are rampant; where there are restrictions on free speech, free association and the media; or where large numbers of people live in abject and degrading poverty.
		Sustainable human development and human rights will be undone in a repressive environment where threat or disease prevails, and both are better able to promote human choices in a peaceful and pluralistic society.
		Development can play a preventive role by addressing the social, economic, cultural and political causes of armed conflicts, which are often manifested by human rights denials and violations.
