In considering human security and options for future action, the participants agreed to focus on the health aspects of human security. The group agreed that a conceptual framework for health and human security needs to be developed as part of any future work, and recommended the establishment of a WHO Task Force on Health and Human Security. The Task Force could define a common vision, a strategic approach, a policy agenda, and a framework for action that could be presented to the 56th World Health Assembly in May 2003, and to the UN General Assembly in September 2003. The group identified areas for the work of the proposed Task Force.
