Abstract
There are two groups in the discussion of prioritizing security or human rights. A group that gives originality to establishing security and considers its realization superior and priority over everything. Another group that authenticates the realization of human rights and freedoms, of which, of course, security is a part and not all, and in choosing between freedom and security, they make the first choice, unlike the first group. In this article, research was conducted with the question of which approach of security-based or freedom-based approaches leads to the realization of citizenship rights. Explaining that the security-oriented approach considers hardware as the basic element of security, and the freedom-oriented approach emphasizes human rights and its three generations. It is also worth mentioning the intellectual context of the security-oriented approach in which the government and its inherent decisions are based on the virtue-based (Platonic) approach and the root of the human rights approach is the welfare-centered (Kantian) approach discussed in this article.
This research is descriptive and applied and has used data collection tools from quantitative methods, using available statistical data and from qualitative methods, tools for studying documents and texts. As an expression of achievement, it should be noted that the result of acting on human rights as a practical guide for human beings in every age and time, peace in both its negative (avoidance of war) and positive (cooperation) meanings.
The current principles and values of human rights in society and the full realization of civil rights in accordance with the principles and teachings of human rights as a model and behavioral framework for citizens and statesmen will lead to the creation of a humane society and honorable human life, in which case order and security will be achieved.
