Explaining the link Between Human Security and Sustainable Development

Human security and sustainable development both are human-oriented concepts and the most important thing that they have in common is that both paradigms are ideas for the protection of man and his rights. So, they overlap in the theme of man and his rights. In addition to transposition of human security and sustainable development project in terms of theoretical discussions and the emergence of them in the international legal system, the question is that how and under what conditions human security and sustainable development interact with each other in the international legal system? The interaction of sustainable development and human security is something that has been considered. This paper attempts to investigate the link between these two paradigms and their mutual effect. It is noteworthy that environmental security, as one of the seven dimensions of human security, plays a key role in achieving sustainable development, and sustainable development without environmental protection is impossible.
