Summary/Abstract: Humanitarian aid in conflict zones has become one of the most significant elements of international politics in the establishment of security through the prevention of violence. Civilians living in these zones are exposed to humanitarian law violations, migration, poverty, and a set of threats experienced in access to basic services. In this context, humanitarian aid and humanitarian security may be considered two concepts that complement and support each other. While humanitarian aid facilitates humanitarian security by meeting the urgent needs of people, the ultimate goals of humanitarian security are the protection and prosperity of people. Security is among the main factors that determine relations on an international scale. The globalization process has led to the emergence of new threats and the transformation or aggravation of existing threats. The increase in the number of forms of threat, their transformation, and the need in the new world order established after the Cold War for a new security paradigm triggered the development of a new perspective in the field of security. Today, humanitarian security/individual safety is at the epicenter of security policies. While efforts to establish the framework continue in the academic and international spheres, at the same time, plans are designed regarding how humanitarian security can be achieved. Humanitarian crises in conflict zones are accepted as a global problem, and to solve this problem, international collaboration and coordination should be strengthened. This study examines the concepts of humanitarian aid and humanitarian security in detail and emphasizes the relationship between these concepts and their importance to the resolution of problems in conflict zones today.
