The relationship between national security and human rights is often contentious. Governments frequently justify security measures that may infringe upon individual rights in the name of protecting the state. However, compromising human rights can lead to social unrest and diminish trust in government institutions. Striking a balance between ensuring security and upholding human rights is essential for a stable democracy. Thus, upholding human rights can enhance national resilience and security while promoting a society that values both safety and individual freedoms.
