The HSRP’s mission is to conduct research on global and regional trends in political violence, their causes and consequences and to make this research accessible to the policy and research communities, the media, educators and the interested public.
The HSRP’s flagship publication, the Human Security Report, is complemented by the Human Security Brief series, the Human Security Gateway (an online database of human security resources), the Afghanistan Conflict Monitor (a website highlighting new research and analysis on the conflict in Afghanistan), and three online bulletins, Human Security News, Afghanistan Security News and Human Security Research.
In May 2007, the Human Security Report Project (HSRP) joined the new School for International Studies at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. The HSRP was previously based at the Human Security Centre at the Liu Institute for Global Issues, University of British Columbia.
