The Human Security Report is produced by the Human Security Centre. The centre, which is

based at the Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of British Columbia, was established

in 2002 by the Honourable Lloyd Axworthy, former Canadian minister for foreign affairs and

then-Director of the Liu Institute. Dr. Axworthy had promoted the concept of human security

vigorously while in office and continues to do so in his current position as president and vice-

chancellor of the University of Winnipeg.

The Human Security Centre’s mission is to make human security-related research more ac-

cessible to the policy and research communities, the media, educators and the public. The centre

undertakes independent research and works with a large network of collaborators in research

institutions around the world.

The Human Secur ity Centre’s flag ship publication, the annual Human Security Report,

is complemented by the Human Secur ity Gateway, an online database of human security

>

resources, and two online bulletins, Human Security News and Human Sec urit y Res earch.
