Incorporating Human Security Considerations into Military Planning: Some Suggestions

This chapter concludes the book by relating the work analysed within the book to the concept of human security, a concept that can assist military actors in appreciating the ways in which the harms of human trafficking manifest, the causes for its proliferation in conflict settings and the ways that human trafficking interacts with and compounds other forms of insecurity. Despite these benefits, human security remains difficult to operationalise, creating a potentially significant hurdle for military actors. This chapter thus goes on to examine how a human security lens can be built into operational planning, providing practical recommendations based on the existing PMESII-PT planning framework.
