The international security strategy makes use of a discourse that privileges military action as an effective method to achieve the desired peace and order.This speech, by its high degree of legitimacy, is incorporated into the national order, linking it with notions such as national identity, unity and security, based on concepts such as national security, public safety and even citizen security, to justify the use of the army in the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking.Its main risk is that it may end up oppressing those who are protecting and violating respect for human rights.
