Islamic State has captured most of a village south of Mosul despite losing control of its stronghold in the city, an Iraqi army officer and residents said, deploying guerrilla-style tactics as its self-proclaimed caliphate crumbles.
Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights should take priority over all regimes and sovereigns. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security - including "personal safety" - is the most urgent duty of all constitutional guarantors. Constitutional standards should be revised as needed to stay in step with the times and allow governments to protect their people from terror. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
