Human Security Collective (HSC) is a foundation based in The Hague working on issues of development, security and the involvement of citizens in their communities. We believe that the idea of human security, which is a holistic, people-centered approach rooted in human rights, provides an organizing frame for action. In our work, we address the current asymmetric character of decision-making in the domain of security by ensuring multi-stakeholder dialogue and engagement, and protecting and expanding the operational and political space of civil society. HSC’s youth leadership programs take an approach which, with its elements of local ownership, trust-creation and empowering of agents for positive change within communities, strengthen a new generation of leadership that promotes critical thinking, gender parity, collective action and engagement with the security sector to strengthen social cohesion.

Where were you on 9/11?
Panel discussion on the impacts of Counter Terrorism Measures on Human Rights (Defenders)
By: Justice and Peace, Netherlands Helsinki Committee, Human Security Collective
Since the 9/11 attacks in New York countless laws have passed internationally to counter terrorism. For many, this is noticed only when removing our shoes or waiting in slow airport security lines. But how has this impacted human rights and those that defend them?
Come to The Nutshuis and meet three organisations working around the globe for human rights. Join this panel discussion on the impact of counter terrorism measures on human rights (defenders). Learn from experts in counter-terrorism measures and listen to the stories of human rights defenders themselves.
