This content seeks to demonstrate how strengthening our national security framework is crucial for mitigating the impacts of occupation on our human right to personal safety.
There is a critical connection between the human right to “security of person” and national security. While individuals have the legal right to defend themselves against immediate threats, the broader human right to security of person requires the state to safeguard citizens from actions or failures that could jeopardize their safety. This includes preventing firearm registries from falling into the hands of an occupier or being deliberately handed over as an act of appeasement.
In the context of our ongoing discussions, it is crucial to recognize that without robust national security measures, the human right to security of person becomes compromised. Our ability to resist any occupier and safeguard our communities is dependent not only on individual rights but also on comprehensive state action.
