ANALYZING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2334 IN THE FULLFILLMENT OF HUMAN NEEDS IN ISRAEL - PALESTINE CONFLICT VIEWED THROUGH THE LENS OF SECURITY FROM ABRAHAM MASLOW’S THRORY

Abstract

The UN Security Council Resolution No. 2334 of 2016 was devised to address the conflict between Palestine and Israel, encompassing directives for Israel to halt and refrain from expanding settlement construction and the forced demolition of Palestinian homes. Essentially, the resolution aims to resolve conflicts and foster peace in the region, with the anticipation that a peaceful environment would positively impact the security and the ability for every individual to fulfill five basic needs outlined from Abraham Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs. Hence, this paper intends to examine the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2334 in the fulfillment of Human Needs through a security lens, drawing on Abraham Maslow's theory. This analysis argues that the content of resolution 2334 reflects or is in line with the security principles of Abraham Maslow's theory because in the content of resolution 2334 it is emphasized that all acts of violence, terror and destruction are prohibited, and it is also mandatory for all parties to involved in complying with the fourth Geneva Convention, the 1949 Geneva Convention, and previous resolutions which mostly lead to discussions regarding the protection of each individual and the protection of the rights of each individual to be free to fulfill basic needs which include, physiological needs, safety needs, belonging needs, esteem needs, and actualization needs. However, in reality, implementing this resolution encounters numerous obstacles and challenges, because Israel tends to ignore it. This study employs a qualitative descriptive methodology.
