"Building and Synergizing Partnerships for Global Human Security and Development" - Bangkok

The Human Security Network (HSN) is a group of like-minded countries from all regions of the world that, at the level of Foreign Ministers, maintains dialogue on questions pertaining to human security. The Network includes Austria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Mali, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Slovenia, Thailand, and South Africa as an observer. The Network has a unique inter-regional and multiple agenda perspective with strong links to civil society and academia. The Network emerged from the landmines campaign and was formally launched at a Ministerial meeting in Norway in 1999. Conferences at Foreign Ministers level were held in Bergen, Norway (1999), Lucerne, Switzerland (2000), Petra, Jordan (2001), Santiago, Chile (2002), Graz, Austria (2003), Bamako, Mali (2004), Ottawa, Canada (2005), and Bangkok, Thailand (2006).
