Chapter 8

The Concept of Human Security: Does it Add Anything of Value to International Legal Theory or Practice?

Lyal S. Sunga

I first met Hans Köchler at a three-day “Talk on the Hill” discussion, held from 17 to 19 October 2004 in Singapore, themed “Cross-Examining Justice: Cultural, Religious and Social Conceptions of Justice in Asia and Europe.” These closed-door meetings, set up by the Asia-Europe Foundation, brought together a number of academics, policymakers, and non-governmental practitioners to exchange cultural, religious and social views on justice from Asian and European perspectives. I was immediately struck by Köchler’s intellectual acuity, his wide-ranging and profound knowledge of philosophy, politics, law, and international affairs, as well as his experience with current cross-cultural issues concerning justice and fairness. Since our discussions in Singapore, it has been a pleasure for me to have worked with Köchler on several projects and to contribute the following chapter in honor of his 60th birthday.
