Özet: Human Security has gained much of the importance in the recent times due to its crucial links with development, particularly sustainable development. Assessing human security through the human development index will prove beneficial as it undertakes the most important spheres of human life. This paper assessed the human satisfaction through utilizing Maslow’s Theory of Hierarchical Needs keeping in contexts with the human development index. This study explores the major aspects of human development index as a tool to view the human security conditions in Pakistan. Pakistan misses some of the eminent milestones to achieve during the last few decades in the context of human development. In this regard, it provides rationales to consider a framework for the state policy makers to focus on achieving the highest level of human satisfaction, i.e. self-actualization needs. Furthermore, the major countries who have implemented human security in the state policies have progressed rapidly in ensuring the wellbeing of its people. Therefore, human security is a unique aspect to deal with the current distressing situation in order to enhance the living conditions of population at large.
