TelePolis has a summary of the Human Security Report 2005. It seems that the world has in fact turned into a safer place compared with the end of the last millenium:
The first Human Security Report documents a dramatic, but largely unknown, decline in the number of wars, genocides and human rights abuse over the past decade. Published by Oxford University Press, the Report argues that the single most compelling explanation for these changes is found in the unprecedented upsurge of international activism, spearheaded by the UN, which took place in the wake of the Cold War. ¹
Good news!
