2016 WAAS began examining Human Security as an integrated principle for peace and security, including the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In 2020 WAAS and the UN Office in Geneva examined the relevance of the idea of human security in the 21st century at two international conferences and proposed the establishment of a Global Institute for Human Security. A survey by WAAS, on behalf of the United Nations Human Security Unit (HSU), explored the awareness and understanding of human security among UN agencies, member states, parliamentarians, NGOs, and youth organizations. Based on these findings, WAAS and the Global Security Institute (GSI) adopted an integrated concept of security, that incorporates peace, security and human development. This pioneering work seeks to place the idea of human security on the mainstream agenda of how conflicts might be resolved, especially with regard to complex issues such as the war in Afghanistan (2021) and the war in Ukraine (2022). On June 14, 2022 the Consumer Technology Association and WAAS announced that human security would be the main theme for CTA’s 2023 annual Consumer Electronics Show to highlight the central role technological innovation can play in improving the personal security of people around the world.
