International conference “Digital transformation and human security”

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The “human security” phrase was first used by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1994 in the annual Human Development Report – which is considered the most comprehensive document that mentioned the concept of human security. Herein, the UNDP made a double breakthrough compared to the traditional viewpoint on human security, particularly: (i) human security’s purpose is to re-navigate individuals as main subjects of the security rather than countries; (ii) break the opinion and the viewpoint on security only focus on military matters. Therefore, the UNDP proposed the concept of human security with seven constituent elements: (1) economic security, (2) food security, (3) health security, (4) environmental security, (5) personal security, (6) community security and (7) political security.[1]

Human security has a vital position in four essential security fields, along with country security, public security, and non-traditional security.[2] Human security and human security assurance are always the first concerns of countries, including Vietnam, thereby, is not only the status of no violent conflict, but also consist of human right, good government, chances of accessing education, health care, assuring each person has the opportunity and choice to promote their strength.^[3] Countries always define human as the goal, as well as the motivation for development, or in other words, human is the center and the most essential factor in the development process. Human security is vital to the stability, prosperity, and growth of each country and its people.

The fluctuations in international security nowadays elucidate the category of human security; the modifiable factors have a profound effect and impact on human security. Thus, digital technology is considered one of the most concerning problems which result in digital transformation. Digital transformation not only brings chances but also poses challenges to the development of human security in countries and territories. Under the great impact of the globalization trend in common and digital transformation in particular, human security is closely related to other security contents. The current context shows that the cooperation between countries and people is necessary to create a safe environment, not only for the people inhabiting their territories but also to contribute to the assurance of human security on a global scale.
