| Human Security Report Links Development Issues with Conflict | June 13, 2003 |
| A commission of scholars and policymakers convened after the UN's Millennium Summit have completed their inquiry into a new paradigm for analyzing and resolving conflict. "Human Security Now: Protecting and Empowering People" highlights the connections between the prevalence of violent conflict in a society, and the threats experienced by the most marginalized people in that society.
