At a time when insurmountable human suffering is defying trust in the efficacy of our international system, we are reminded of the importance of “we the peoples” to live free from fear, want and indignity. While progress has been made, recent trends remind us of the need for a more inclusive multilateral system. The human security approach supports this aim. As a multidimensional framework, it strengthens the interlinkages between the pillars of the United Nations and stimulates meaningful partnerships among United Nations entities, Member States, civil society, the private sector and local communities to accelerate delivery, limit duplication and maximize the reach of scarce resources with no one left behind.
