Summary/Abstract: Respect for human dignity is conditional on ensuring personal security. Human dignity, in all its aspects, has been evoked since ancient times, both in the philosophical work of great thinkers and in the manner of organizing human communities throughout their historical evolution. All major changes in the paradigm of world order have directly or indirectly benefited the human being, and for its defense, for its personal security, not only legal institutions but also mechanisms capable of defending it have been created. In this context, it can be said that the way in which the security of a nation that has gained its independence, according to the principle of self-determination of peoples, depends on its ability to organize itself according to democratic principles and implicitly in full respect for human right. Doctrine and international practice have revealed a similar dependence, this time in the opposite direction. Disservations from the principle of respect for human rights are likely to create disagreements in the international community, even conflicts, threatening their security. This article aims to highlight the interdependence between the principle of respect for human rights and international security.
