Title: Human Rights, Human Needs, Human Development, Human Security
Abstract: Human rights, human development and human security form increasingly
 important, partly interconnected, partly competitive and misunderstood ethical
 and policy discourses. Each tries to humanize a pre-existing and unavoidable
 major discourse of everyday life, policy and politics; each has emerged within
 the United Nations world; each relies implicitly on a conceptualisation of
 human need; each has specific strengths. Yet mutual communication,
 understanding and co-operation are deficient, especially between human rights
 and the other discourses. The paper tries to identify respective strengths,
 weaknesses, and potential complementarity. It suggests that human security
 discourse may offer a working alliance between humanized discourses of
 rights, development and need.
