Abstract The concept of “sustainable human security” provides an integrated framework for adequately addressing development and cooperation in complex situations of conflict, violence and fragility. As human security shifts the attention from a state-centered to a people-centered approach to security, sustainable human security aims at underscores the persistence, interdependence and universality of a set of freedoms which are fundamental to human life. The concept of sustainable human security is a paradigm that suggests most of the contemporary understandings on human security, human development, human dignity and human sustainability. It emerges from at least thirty years of reflections in line with sustainable development; human rights based development, human security and human development. This paper explores the evolution of human security emerging from national perspectives into sustainable integrated frameworks and institutional capacity development implications. This is an effort to study the concept of human security in general and sustainable human security in particular, which provides the necessary integrated framework for addressing the root causes of conflict and human, economic, environmental and social insecurity. Sustainable human security aims at proposing adequate solutions through sustainable peace-building and human rights based sustainable development.
