===Relationship with human rights=== {{see also|Human rights}} Human security is indebted to the [[human rights]] tradition (the ideas of [[natural law]] and [[natural rights]]). The development of the human security model can be seen to have drawn upon ideas and concepts fundamental to the [[human rights]] tradition. Both approaches use the individual as the main referent and both argue that a wide range of issues (i.e. [[civil and political rights|civil rights]], cultural identity, [[right to education|access to education]] and [[right to health|healthcare]]) are fundamental to human dignity. A major difference between the two models is in their approach to addressing threats to human dignity and survival. Whilst the [[human rights]] framework takes a legalistic approach, the human security framework, by utilizing a diverse range of actors, adopts flexible and issue-specific approaches, which can operate at local, national or international levels. The nature of the relationship between human security and [[human rights]] is contested among human security advocates. Some human security advocates argue that the goal of human security should be to build upon and strengthen the existing global human rights legal framework.<ref name="Hampson, 2002">Hampson, F., ''Madness in the multitude: human security and world disorder,'' Ontario: Oxford University Press, 2002</ref> However, other advocates view the [[human rights]] legal framework as part of the global insecurity problem and believe that a human security approach should propel us to move above and beyond this legalistic approach to get at the underlying sources of [[social inequality|inequality]] and violence which are the root causes of insecurity in today's world.<ref name="Thomas, 2001">Thomas, C., (2001) βGlobal governance, development and human security: exploring the links,β ''Third World Quarterly,'' Vol. 22(2):159-175</ref>
