Popis: The purpose of this article is to analyse the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its repercussions for humanity from the perspective of Human Security. In addition, the aim is to focus on the international systemic problems in the UN on the basis of Human Security. The Human Security approach is expected to bring new insights both to the analysis of what happened to Iraq and its people and how the ‘noble’ aims of the US invasion brought about just the opposite outcomes. It is argued that Iraqis and the country’s future should be thought in the context of Human Security rather than abstract ideals of democratisation and emancipation.
