This report aims at a comprehensive conceptual treatment to produce
a proposal for the Ukrainian academic security research agenda. The
concept of academic security will consider that the causes for worldwide
security problems have yet not been fully identified. The academic se-
curity research topics, which are particularly important and interesting
for Ukraine, were arranged in 12 thematic security research categories,
which were bundled in five security research areas of this report:
A. Fundamentals of academic security research
1. Scientific aspects of academic security research;
2. Technological questions of academic security research;
3. Academic security research for Ukraine related to the building the
state of the ukrainian nation.
B. Academic security research in the context of applied system and risk
analysis
4. Applied system analysis in the context of uncertainty feeling;
5. Human risks and trust building;
6. Risks from war and terrorism.
C. Academic security research in the context of stability and progress
7. Law aspects of academic security in the context of human rights and
stability;
8. Academic security research of social-economic development;
9. Academic security research of the scientific and technical progress.
D. Academic security research of hazard defence
10. Academic security building structures;
11. Hazard defence;
12. Domains of particular protection requirements.
E. Academic security research of natural catastrophe and crisis man-
agement.

The international community is called upon to recognise internal con-
icts at an early stage and to moderate and settle them. State power
monopolies must be established and exercised with respect for human
rights1 .

Totalitarian regimes, political or religious sects or inflexible religious
communities, and criminal organisations all attempt to refute the ap-
plicability of human rights for their actions. They claim in particular
that other values apply to their domains, human rights being the outflow
of a dominant political regimes wishing to safeguard the existing social
conditions. These objections, even if uttered sincerely, serve to conceal
exploitation, repression and torture. Authoritarian, repressive and ex-
ploitative systems, cliques or companies wish to pursue their criminal
business undisturbed. Human rights are the only thing stopping them2 .

Human rights have universal validity and are applicable to everyone.
Their basic principles are continuously challenged by the evolution of
social, political, economic and religious conditions. The desire for se-
curity can if taken too far result in a restriction of human rights and
paradoxically to the very insecurity that is being combated. New chal-
lenges call for innovative, forward-looking responses that intensify and
strengthen human rights.3 .

Human Rights

Since the 1990s business has been undergoing a process of radical glob-
alisation. The resultant challenges have worldwide repercussions. Re-
sponses to these challenges must take account of the need for social
justice, environmental protection and human rights. For its part the
consolidation and strengthening of human rights is necessary to prevent
social and environmental conicts or to reduce their consequences4 .

Academic security is not seen as a security of governments from their
citizens. The academic security agenda includes with the environmen-
tal and social agenda too. Those who seek security must also seek en-
vironmental protection and social justice. In the international context
it should be borne in mind that the increasing world population, short-
age of resources, and increasingly unjust distribution, exacerbated to
an extent by climate change, are likely to lead to a rise in wars or
terrorist confrontations. Technologies and structures that augment the
vulnerability of a region or society are therefore a problem5 .

The privatisation of the media results in increased competition. There
is fierce rivalry for segments of the advertising market. Those who pro-
duce cheaply and attract sucient attention can buy more expensive ad-
vertising spots and operate at higher profit. Critical reports about econ-
omy and truth about human rights violations and exicting social con-
ditions are often sacrificed along the way. Critical press reports also
are suppressed. Preference is given to those who can sell prefabricated
video reports as their own research, providing companies and political
parties with unfiltered access to private living rooms6 .

Lack of freedom and repression of women go hand in hand with social,
political and environmental ills. Wherever women are repressed, other
human rights are regularly violated. Those who wish to establish and
safeguard peace must promote gender equality. This includes in partic-
ular equal access to education, food, the right to legal protection and
political office7 .

The roots of global migratory movements can be found in the deterio-
ration of living conditions, population explosions and the degradation
of habitats. The causes of the migration northward must be removed.
These include in particular the overfishing of fishing grounds that can
be reached by traditional fishing boats and the undercutting of regional
farming prices through international subsidised farming products. The
erosion of state security gives transnational concerns unlimited control
in particular over raw materials. State sovereignty and a state power
monopoly must be established here8 .

In the 1980s, it was nation states above all that sought to relativise hu-
man rights to enable them to maintain their dictatorial regimes. Today
these arguments are being used by political elite, criminal communi-
ties and religious sects. Like the overthrown dictators of the past, they
claim “other values” and demand immunity from criticism and non-
intervention by the international community. Typically, the rights that
these communities and sects demand for themselves are denied to those
who disagree with them – members of other communities or critics9 .

Universal Applicability
of Human Rights

Human rights are inalienable and indefeasible rights with respect to
public authority. They are founded in natural law but also in rational
law. The legitimation of a state is derived from the fact that it offers
protection to the individual. As Kant in particular points out, the ac-
knowledgement of human rights provides this legitimation and the basis
for a state. The Charter of the United Nations contains a clear com-
mitment by the community of states to promote and encourage respect
for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all. Every state that
joins the UN undertakes to abide by the UN Charter, including this
commitment to promote and encourage respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms for all10 .
