Abstract: After the end of the Cold War, reframing the anatomy of conflict (from inter to intra state) and safeguarding the human in the equation of security has been defined the concept of human security as a way to surpass the classical state-centric approaches. In terms of responsibility to protect, human security could be a new way of understanding sovereignty, not excluding the state but linking the concepts that traditionally divide the international community and sovereign state; the new notion of sovereignty becomes a mechanism of mitigating/eliminating the arbitrary power of the state (reflecting the state control and the freedom from any interference) by the accountability of its actions (reflecting a better way to balance order and justice).
